The Role

This is a senior-level front-end sales role — focused entirely on winning new business. You won’t be involved in recruitment or candidate sourcing.

Key Responsibilities

Identify and target new business opportunities across Commercial, Public Sector, Education, Logistics, and FMCG sectors
Conduct outbound outreach through calls, LinkedIn, networking, and warm leads
Build relationships with senior decision-makers, including HR, Procurement, and Operational leaders
Secure client meetings, deliver compelling proposals, and close new business
Collaborate with internal delivery teams to ensure a smooth handover of all new opportunities
Maintain a strong pipeline, track activity, and report on performance

What We're Looking For

Proven experience in B2B business development, sales, or client acquisition
Recruitment industry experience is preferred but not essential
Confident communicator with the ability to build relationships at a senior level
Self-motivated and target-driven, with the ability to work independently
Commercially astute with a consultative sales approach
UK-based with the right to work, and comfortable working remotely
