Business Development Manager

Job Description
Business Development Manager

Salary: £50,000 per annum + Uncapped Commission (OTE £80,000+)
Package: Car Allowance + Paid Mileage
Location: Field-Based (Covering England & Wales, primarily England)
Reporting to: Chief Commercial Officer

The Opportunity
This is a high-impact, brand-new role created to drive aggressive growth for two powerhouse brands within the refreshments and premium apparel industries.

We are not looking for "tender-focused" consultants or long-cycle bidders. We are looking for a high-energy, "hunter" salesperson who thrives on fast-paced product sales, door-opening, and closing deals. This is a unique opportunity to represent two distinct catalogs—refreshment solutions and premium apparel—selling directly into a diverse client base.

Key Responsibilities
  • Generate New Business: Proactively identify, prospect, and close new accounts across England and Wales.
  • Target Verticals: Direct outreach to Education, Leisure, Business & Industry (B&I) sectors and more.
  • Field-Based Activity: Spend the majority of your week on the road, meeting decision-makers, demonstrating products, and closing sales.
  • Relationship Management: Build a robust pipeline from scratch and manage the transition of new clients to the account management team.
  • Brand Ambassadorship: Represent both brands with expert product knowledge and a professional demeanour.

The Ideal Candidate
  • The "Hunter" Mentality: You love the thrill of the chase. You are motivated by hitting targets and seeing the direct result of your hard work in your commission check.
  • Product Sales Background: Proven experience in fast-moving product sales (FMCG, Vending, Apparel, or similar) where the sales cycle is quick and decisive.
  • Sector Experience: Previous experience selling into education (schools/colleges) or sports clubs is highly advantageous.
  • Self-Starter: As a remote, field-based worker, you must be disciplined, organised, and capable of managing your own territory effectively.
  • Excellent Communicator: Ability to pitch to a Headteacher in the morning and a Sports Club Chairman in the afternoon.

Requirements
  • Full UK Driving License (Essential): This is a field-based role covering a large territory.
  • Proven Sales Track Record: Demonstrated ability to meet and exceed sales targets.
  • No "Tender" Background: We are looking for direct sales expertise, not administrative bid management.
  • Willingness to Travel: Extensive travel across England and occasionally Wales.

Why Join Our Client?
  • Earning Potential: A strong base salary of £50k with a realistic OTE of £80k+, with no cap on your success.
  • Autonomy: This is a new role; you have the chance to shape the sales strategy and make the position your own.
  • Work-Life Balance: Monday to Friday only.
  • Professional Growth: This is a career-defining role for a results-driven individual looking to transition from field sales into future leadership.
  • Support: Direct line to the CCO, ensuring you have the resources and quick decision-making needed to close deals.

To Apply: If you are a high-performing salesperson ready to take on a dual-brand challenge, we want to hear from you.
