Job description

Business Development Manager – North & South East Regions

Location: We are seeking one BD Manager to cover the North and one BD manager to cover South East

Salary: Up to £50,000 + £5,000 car allowance + 15% bonus

Are you a proactive, commercially driven business development professional with a solid understanding of traffic management?

Two exciting opportunities have arisen for ambitious BDMs to join a leading, growth-focused organisation, delivering sales and client growth across the North and South East regions.

This is a chance to shape your own territory, drive new business, and strengthen existing client relationships, while working closely with experienced, high-performing regional leadership teams.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead business development across your region, identifying and converting new opportunities while nurturing key existing accounts.
  • Develop and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor with credible knowledge of traffic management.
  • Collaborate with Regional Directors and internal teams to ensure profitable growth, seamless handovers, and client satisfaction.
  • Own a portfolio of accounts, providing insight, feedback, and reporting to support strategic decision-making.
  • Support bid and tender activity, ensuring commercial, operational, and client requirements are met.
  • Travel within your region to meet clients, visit depots, and engage with teams on the ground.
About You
  • Proven track record in business development and sales, ideally with experience in traffic management, construction, utilities, or related sectors.
  • Strong ability to “manage up,” adapt to different leadership styles, and proactively report on activity and pipeline.
  • Self‑motivated, resilient, and capable of hitting targets while building long‑term client relationships.
  • Comfortable working remotely, with flexibility for regional travel and occasionally UK‑wide engagements.
  • Confident communicator, able to influence, negotiate, and deliver results across multiple stakeholders.
Why This Role Is Exciting
  • Play a pivotal role in regions that have significant growth potential and have historically lacked dedicated BD support.
  • Work with approachable, high-energy leaders who will challenge and support you in equal measure.
  • Enjoy a competitive package with bonus potential linked to both personal objectives and overall business performance.
  • Immediate impact: from your first weeks, you’ll be engaging with clients, influencing strategy, and building pipelines that drive success.

If you thrive on autonomy, enjoy shaping strategies, and have the technical credibility to engage clients in traffic management, this is your opportunity to make a visible impact and accelerate your career.
