Job description

Overview

Business Development Manager Sittingbourne- with travel across Kent, Essex and London 50,000- 60,000 + Uncapped Commission Company Car Hybrid Working Kent, Essex, London

I'm working in partnership with a dynamic commercial services business that's making strong headway in the market. With a strong client base and a proven track record in delivering high-quality cleaning and soft services, the company is now looking to appoint a dedicated Business Development Manager to take ownership of new business acquisition across the South East.

The Role

You'll be responsible for identifying and securing new commercial cleaning contracts across Kent, Essex, and London. The focus is entirely on new business development, targeting commercial environments such as offices, depots, distribution centres, and regulated spaces like schools.

The Role includes:

• Developing and executing a regional new business strategy
• Prospecting, pitching, and closing deals - including formal tender submissions
• Winning long-term contracts (typically 1-3 years) and growing revenue streams
• Collaborating closely with senior leadership to shape future sales direction

The Ideal Candidate

My client is looking for someone who's ready to make an immediate impact. You'll need to be:

• An experienced BDM or sales professional with a strong track record in new business acquisition
• Ideally from a commercial cleaning or soft services background (e.g. hygiene/sanitary-ware, pest control, landscaping, facilities)
• Highly confident, self-motivated, and proactive - someone who thrives on autonomy and results
• Commercially sharp, with the ability to spot opportunities and convert them

The Package

• 50,000- 60,000 base salary
• Commission on profits, paid quarterly - uncapped
• Company car or car allowance
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Flexible working options for the right person
• Clear progression route to Sales Director

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't a corporate sales role with layers of red tape. It's a chance to build something from the ground up, work directly with decision-makers, and be rewarded for your impact. The culture is hard-working, supportive, and ambitious, and the business is poised for serious growth.

If you're ready to take ownership of your career and be part of something exciting, I'd love to speak with you.
