A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced and driven Business Development Manager to join a well-established business support organisation that plays a pivotal role in helping companies across the region grow, connect and succeed.

This organisation is going through an exciting period of modernisation and expansion. They are now seeking a high-performing, commercially minded individual to focus on new business growth and bring fresh energy to their membership acquisition strategy.

About the Role

This is a proactive, consultative sales role responsible for attracting new members and building strong relationships with key decision-makers across the region.

Key responsibilities include:

• Generating and converting high-quality leads

  
  

• Engaging with CEOs, Managing Directors and senior stakeholders

  
  

• Building and managing a strong sales pipeline using the CRM

  
  

• Delivering compelling presentations and value-led proposals

  
  

• Identifying growth sectors and new opportunities

  
  

• Representing the organisation at events, exhibitions and networking forums

  
  

• Consistently achieving and exceeding new business targets

  
  

• Ensuring smooth handover of new members to the wider team

  
  

  This role suits someone confident, persuasive and ambitious—someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment and thrives on winning new business.

  What We’re Looking For

  • Proven B2B sales or business development experience

    
    

  • A strong track record of achieving and exceeding targets

    
    

  • Confident presenting to and engaging senior decision-makers

    
    

  • Excellent communication, negotiation and closing skills

    
    

  • Strong planning, organisation and pipeline management abilities

    
    

  • Professional, credible approach with strong relationship-building skills

    
    

  • Motivated, resilient and commercially aware

    
    

  • Full driving licence and access to your own vehicle (business insurance required)

    
    

    Experience within membership, subscription-based or business support services is desirable but not essential.

    What’s on Offer

    • £35,000 basic salary

      
      

    • Uncapped commission structure

      
      

    • 35-hour working week

      
      

    • Opportunity to represent a respected regional organisation

      
      

    • Career development and ongoing training

      
      

    • Varied and rewarding role with strong regional presence
