A role where growth is built in.

If you're a B2B sales professional who thrives on both winning new business and developing long-term client relationships, this is a rare chance to step into a newly created role with a market leader - and shape it your way.

This isn't replacing someone. There's no "how it's always been done." You'll be the first external-facing Business Development Manager here, giving you full autonomy to open doors, grow accounts, and leave your mark.

Why you'll want this job:
  • Growth potential: With no predecessor, you'll be setting the standard and driving your own pipeline.
  • Autonomy: Fully remote role with the freedom to run your territory the way you know works best.
  • Balance: Around 60% new business development, 40% account management - so you'll keep building on wins while chasing the next big opportunity.
  • Reputation: You'll represent a true market leader in manufacturing and engineering.

What you'll be doing:
  • Drive profitable sales growth across your territory, hitting budget and margin targets.
  • Win new business across defined industry segments.
  • Manage and grow a portfolio of medium to major accounts, building strong, lasting relationships with decision-makers.
  • Lead the sales process from first contact to close, coordinating with Internal Sales Associates for solution design, pricing, and proposals.
  • Maintain accurate customer data and track opportunities in Salesforce CRM.
  • Represent the company at trade events and exhibitions.
  • Monitor market trends, spot competitor movements, and adapt your approach to stay ahead.

What you'll bring:
  • Proven track record in solution-based B2B sales, ideally in manufacturing, engineering, or production.
  • Skilled at both hunting and farming - winning new clients and maximising existing ones.
  • Commercially sharp with the confidence to negotiate and close deals independently.
  • Strong communicator who builds rapport quickly and credibly at all levels.
  • Comfortable running your own territory, managing funnels, and working to sales targets.
