Overview

Business Development Manager Sheffield

Salary: £40,000 + up to 20k performance bonus + £350/month car allowance + mileage reclaim

Are you a results-driven sales leader ready to take ownership of a growing commercial function? Our client, a specialist service and maintenance business in the waste handling and back-of-house equipment sector, is looking for a Business Development Manager to drive revenue, secure new business, and strengthen market presence.

The Role

This is a sales-first role with marketing as a supporting function. You will:

• Lead the development and execution of a robust sales strategy, targeting both national accounts and single-site customers.
• Build and manage a strong pipeline, converting opportunities into profitable contracts.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities, growing revenue streams and expanding market share.
• Collaborate with external marketing partners to ensure campaigns and communications support sales objectives, rather than leading them.
• Maintain commercial focus on cost management, margin growth, and overall profitability.
• Report directly to the Board of Directors, providing insight into sales performance, pipeline, and revenue forecasts.

About You

You are:

• A proven forward thinking sales professional, ideally with experience in maintenance, engineering, or service sectors.
• Commercially sharp, highly motivated, and results-driven.
• Skilled at engaging with a range of customers, from single-site operators to national organisations.
• Strategic and self-starting, able to balance immediate sales targets with long-term growth plans.
• Comfortable working alongside marketing partners to support campaigns and brand-building efforts without leading creative content internally.

What Success Looks Like

• Year 1: Deliver a sales plan that secures new contracts, covers role costs, and establishes a measurable increase in market visibility.
• Year 2+: Leverage market awareness and customer relationships to accelerate growth, expand into new accounts, and maximise revenue from existing clients.

Benefits

• Base salary: up to £40,000
• Performance bonus: up to 20k paid quarterly if ahead of target
• Car allowance: £350/month + mileage reclaim
• Full time - permanent
• Flexibility around hybrid set up
• Direct reporting to the Board with autonomy to build and lead the sales function

This is a unique opportunity for a commercially-focused sales professional to drive growth in a dynamic, growing business- where there is a clear pathway for you to develop further within the business to Sales Manager - right up to Sales Director!

If you have a proven track record in sales and are motivated to take ownership of a sales function, I want to hear from you.
