Job description

Business Development Executive - Spider is advertising on behalf of a dynamic direct marketing agency specialising in data-led campaigns, creating bespoke databases, and delivering innovative direct marketing solutions. We are seeking a motivated and results-driven Business Development Executive to join our growing team on a full-time or part-time, remote basis.

About the Role

As a Business Development Executive, you will play a pivotal role in driving the growth of our business. This position offers flexibility and the thrill of exploring new opportunities to build our client base. Although predominantly remote, you’ll participate in a monthly in-office day in Chelmsford or London and engage in regular team video calls.

Your Responsibilities:

• Identify and develop new business opportunities through research and outreach.
• Quality and nurture leads to build a strong sales pipeline.
• Build and maintain lasting relationships with potential and existing clients.
• Craft and deliver compelling sales presentations.
• Negotiate contracts and close deals.
• Collaborate with internal teams to execute client campaigns and ensure satisfaction.
• Contribute to the overall growth and success of the agency.

About You

You are a motivated sales professional with a passion for connecting with clients and driving results. You bring:

• At least 3 years of experience in business development, ideally within the marketing industry.
• Strong sales, negotiation, and communication skills.
• A love for cold calling
• A self-driven and goal-oriented attitude.
• The ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• A degree in Business or Marketing (preferred but not essential).

Why Join Us?

They pride themselves on being an award-winning workplace, recently recognised with the Culture100 Award for 2025. Here’s what they offer:

• Competitive salary: £28,000–£30,000 per annum basic (depending on experience)
• On-target earnings: £40,000–£60,000+ with uncapped commission
• Performance is rewarded, not just presence. Uncapped commission structure means your earnings grow with your success; top performers regularly exceed OTE.
• Flexible working hours (15-40 hours per week, Monday-Friday, 8AM-6PM)
• Remote work with one monthly in-office day in Chelmsford or London
• Uncapped annual leave (post probation)
• Flexible working culture / Work-Home life balance

Join a team that values collaboration, creativity, and professional growth while providing you with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
