Job description

Business Development Director

UK (Regional / Hybrid)

£75,000 - £80,000 + Bonus + Car/Allowance

The Opportunity

We're working with a well-established, fast-growing support services organisation to appoint a Business Development Director for a key region/vertical.

This is a senior commercial role with full responsibility for new business growth, key account retention, and strategic pipeline development, reporting directly into a Regional/Vertical Managing Director.

This role offers something many roles don't: Genuine influence, autonomy, and a culture people don't want to leave.

The Role

You will take ownership of growth across your region/sector, with a remit that includes:

• Driving new business acquisition, focusing on high-value strategic opportunities


• Leading bid strategy and commercial negotiations


• Owning major contract renewals, ensuring strong retention and client development


• Building and maintaining senior-level client relationships


• Developing and managing a robust sales pipeline and forecast


• Working closely with operational and customer teams to deliver growth from existing accounts


• Leading and developing Business Development Managers (where applicable)

This is a hands-on, high-impact role - you'll be expected to lead from the front as well as contribute at a strategic level.

About You

We're looking for an experienced business development professional who can operate at both strategic and execution level:

• Proven track record of winning and closing high-value contracts


• Strong background in complex B2B / outsourced / service-led environments


• Experience engaging and influencing senior stakeholders


• Commercially astute, driven and highly self-motivated


• Previous team leadership experience is advantageous, but not essential

What this role offers is:

• A high-trust, low-politics environment


• Leadership that is visible, supportive, and values-driven


• A business that is growing strongly and sustainably


• Real autonomy to shape your market and approach


• Long-term career opportunity within a people-first organisation

This is about joining a business where:

• Your voice is heard


• Your impact is visible


• And the culture actually matches what's promised
