UK Wide (South East Preference)
Field-Based
£35,000-£55,000 (DOE) + Car Allowance + Bonus

We are currently supporting a growing international business within the commercial workplace products/services sector as they look to hire a Business Development Manager to help drive UK growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded and relationship-led sales professional who enjoys autonomy, strategic account development and building long-term partnerships.

The role is focused far more around developing national account relationships at head office level, rather than branch-level merchant sales.

You will be responsible for developing and growing relationships with national merchants, procurement teams, commercial stakeholders and multi-site customers across the UK.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Winning and developing national accounts
• Building relationships with procurement and buying teams at head office level
• Driving new business activity and pipeline generation
• Managing and growing existing strategic accounts
• Developing direct sales channels and commercial partnerships
• Identifying opportunities for long-term account growth
• Supporting national roll outs, promotions and account activity
• Working closely with internal stakeholders to drive commercial performance

The business is looking for a commercially driven sales professional with strong experience in relationship-led B2B sales and account development.

They are keen to hire someone who is:

• Proven within field sales, national accounts or commercial business development
• Strong at building relationships with procurement, buying and commercial stakeholders
• Confident generating new business and developing strategic accounts
• Commercially aware with a proactive and adaptable approach
• Comfortable working autonomously within a field-based role
• Experienced managing multiple opportunities and stakeholders at pace
• Motivated by long-term growth, progression and building market presence

Backgrounds within commercial interiors, fit-out, workplace solutions, FM, building products, merchant environments or related sectors could align particularly well.
