Overview

Business Development Account Manager – Location: Northampton; Salary: £24,000 - £32,000 per annum (DOE). Driving Licence & Own Vehicle Required.

Ready to launch or level up your career in sales and account management? We're working with a market-leading company in the construction and built environment sector that's on the lookout for a Business Development Account Manager to join their dynamic and ambitious team. Whether you're just starting out or already have some experience, this is a rare opportunity to develop real-world commercial skills within a supportive and fast-growing business.

This role is not a call centre job - there are no high-pressure targets or scripted calls. Instead, you'll focus on building genuine relationships with clients, managing real projects, and helping businesses grow. You'll receive full training and a personalised development plan to get you where you want to go.

What You'll Be Doing

• Manage a portfolio of clients and become their go-to contact for ongoing projects
• Speak to prospective businesses and uncover new opportunities (all B2B)
• Carry out essential admin tasks and keep records up to date and accurate
• Build strong client relationships through high-quality, consultative communication
• Use top-tier tools, data, and strategy to support campaigns and outreach efforts
• Prepare for and attend regular review meetings with your clients
• Continuously develop your sales and business development skills through hands-on experience and mentorship

What Our Client Is Looking For

• You don\'t need years of experience - just the right attitude. We\'re seeking someone who is:
• Curious, driven, and eager to learn
• Comfortable speaking to people on the phone in a professional setting
• Organised, detail-oriented, and proactive
• Able to demonstrate strong work ethic and business awareness
• Confident using basic IT systems (you\'ll complete a short typing test)
• Experience in customer service or any client-facing role is a bonus
• Please note: Due to the office location, a driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential.

What\'s in It for You?

• Monday to Friday - 08:50-17:30 (no weekends!)
• 2-week full Christmas shutdown to recharge
• Performance-based earning potential
• Tailored training programme to help you grow from day one
• A clear career path with promotion opportunities
• Friendly, close-knit team culture with regular team socials
• Continuous development in sales, marketing, and account management
