Job description

Why you should apply

Strategic selling: Are you tired of high-volume, low-value sales? Do you want a role where your success is measured by the quality of your wins, not the quantity? This is your chance to focus on what you do best: building relationships and closing high-value, six-figure deals.

Security & growth: You will be joining at a time of significant investment and growth, playing a vital part in their ambitious journey to increase turnover by 50% and providing you with solid job security.

Start your weekend early: You will work for a business that values its people; they prove it by offering a 4.5-day working week, meaning your weekend starts at lunchtime on Friday. Imagine having that extra time for your family, hobbies, or to unwind?

Work-life balance: Typically, you will spend two or three days on the road and two at the company premises, giving you time to plan your commercial strategy without being on the road every day.

What you'll do as the Business Development Manager

Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will develop new business and manage existing accounts for full lifecycle contracts, from design through to manufacturing. This is a 50/50 hunter-farmer role. You will spend around two days per week on-site in South Wales, with the rest of the week travelling to customers across the UK and occasionally in Europe. You will work closely with internal teams to produce RFQs and ensure the successful launch of customer projects.

What you will receive

• A basic salary of 50,000- 60,000
• A company electric car or a car allowance
• Pension and a cash healthcare plan

Please note - this role does not offer commission or bonus as part of the package.

What you will need to be successful as the Business Development Manager

• A full driving license, with the ability to travel across the UK and occasionally overseas (mainland Europe).

Your working hours

Standard working hours are 8am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday, and 8am to 12:30pm on Friday. The company offers some flexibility to start and finish a little earlier or later if it suits the person.
