Job description

Business Development Executive

Birmingham | Basic + Uncapped Commission + Outstanding Career Progression

Build a Career, Not Just a Job.

Are you ambitious, competitive and motivated by success?

Do you want a career where your hard work directly influences your earnings, progression and future?

We're looking for driven individuals to join a successful and growing commercial team. Whether you're a recent graduate or already have experience in sales, customer service, retail, hospitality or another people-focused environment, this is an opportunity to build a rewarding career with unlimited potential.

This isn't just another sales role.

It's an opportunity to become a trusted commercial adviser, build lasting business relationships, manage your own client portfolio and develop skills that will stay with you for the rest of your career.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Business Development Executive, you'll play a key role in helping businesses achieve their growth ambitions while developing your own commercial expertise.

You'll learn how to:

• Build long-term relationships with businesses across the UK.

• Build relationships with senior decision-makers, including Directors, Business Owners and Hiring Managers.
• Become a specialist within your market, offering insight, advice and commercial expertise.
• Take ownership of your own success while working within a supportive, high-performing team.

No two days are the same. One day you could be meeting a new client, the next negotiating a commercial agreement, visiting businesses or growing relationships with your existing accounts.

You’ll thrive if you are:

• Ambitious and motivated to succeed.
• A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships.
• Commercially minded and naturally curious.

What’s In It For You?

• Negotiable basic salary.
• Uncapped commission with excellent earning potential.
• Industry-leading training and ongoing mentoring.
• Clear, structured career progression based on performance.
• Opportunities to progress into Senior Consultant, Account Management, Business Development Leadership or Management roles.
• Client visits, networking opportunities and business lunches.
• The opportunity to build your own portfolio of long-term business relationships.
• Modern Birmingham office with a supportive and ambitious team.

Here, you'll gain valuable commercial skills in business development, negotiation, relationship management and account growth while building a professional network that will benefit you throughout your career.
