Business Development Executive | £30,000 + Uncapped Commission | Telford

Are you a natural door-opener?

Do you enjoy picking up the phone, starting conversations, building relationships and turning opportunities into revenue?

If you're commercially driven, competitive and motivated by earning uncapped commission, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're working exclusively with a market-leading UK provider of driver medical and driver assessment services as they continue an exciting period of growth. They're looking for a Business Development Executive who isn't afraid to pick up the phone, create their own opportunities and go after new business.

This isn't a role for someone waiting for leads to land in their inbox.

It's for someone who wants to go out and win.

The Opportunity

You'll join a growing commercial team and work closely with the Head of Sales & Marketing to expand the company's customer base across the UK.

You'll be responsible for identifying new opportunities, opening doors and developing relationships with businesses across the haulage, logistics, fleet, taxi, driving school and wider transport sectors.

You'll have the opportunity to sell a range of established services, including:

• HGV & PCV driver medicals
• Taxi medicals
• Forklift medicals
• Driver screening services
• Occupational driver assessments

The business already has an impressive national footprint, with 125+ clinic locations and thousands of medical assessments delivered every month.

Now they want to grow even further.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Proactively identifying and winning new B2B customers
• Building your own pipeline through outbound prospecting
• Calling, emailing and engaging decision‑makers across the transport sector
• Developing relationships with haulage companies, fleet operators, taxi businesses, driving schools and employers
• Following up inbound enquiries and converting opportunities into customers
• Growing existing accounts through upselling and cross‑selling
• Managing your pipeline and keeping CRM records up to date
• Working towards ambitious activity and revenue targets
• Supporting marketing and lead‑generation campaigns
• Representing the business at networking events and industry exhibitions
• Working closely with internal teams to ensure customers receive an excellent experience

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with commercial hunger.

Someone who sees a target and wants to beat it.

You’ll ideally have B2B sales or business development experience within driver medicals, haulage, logistics, taxi, fleet, transport or a closely related sector.

Most importantly, you’ll be:

• Naturally proactive and confident generating your own leads
• Comfortable picking up the phone and speaking to decision-makers
• Target‑driven and motivated by commission
• Confident building relationships from cold
• Commercially minded and hungry for success
• Organised, resilient and self‑motivated
• A strong communicator, both verbally and in writing
• Comfortable using CRM systems and Microsoft Office
• A full UK driving licence holder

What’s In It For You?

Up to £30,000 basic salary + uncapped commission

Plus:

• Uncapped earning potential
• Bonus opportunities
• Company pension
• Ongoing training and development
• Genuine career progression
• The opportunity to join a growing and ambitious business
• A supportive, collaborative commercial team

Why This Role?

This is a chance to join a business that is already a recognised leader in its market and play a genuine part in its next phase of growth.

You’ll have the freedom to create opportunities, build relationships and directly influence your earnings.

If you’re someone who gets a buzz from winning new business, closing deals and seeing your hard work reflected in your payslip, I’d love to hear from you.
