Are you an experienced Business Development professional with a strong track record of generating and winning new business?

Our client is an established and highly regarded organisation looking for a proactive, relationship-focused Business Development Manager to join their growing commercial team.

You will be responsible for generating your own pipeline, identifying and developing new business opportunities and building relationships with prospective clients across a broad range of industries.

This is a consultative sales environment where understanding each client's individual requirements is key. You'll work closely with prospective customers to understand their needs before developing tailored commercial solutions.

You do not need previous fleet or vehicle leasing experience. We are keen to speak with successful Business Development professionals from wider B2B environments who can demonstrate a strong track record of personally generating and winning new business.

The majority of prospective client meetings are conducted via Teams, with travel required for face-to-face client meetings, events and other business requirements where appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and manage a strong self-generated pipeline
• Develop relationships with key decision-makers across a variety of industries

• Support bids, tenders and framework opportunities where required
• Develop pricing proposals and manage commercial negotiations
• Work closely with internal teams to develop the right solution for each prospective client
• Maintain accurate CRM records, sales forecasts and pipeline information
• Attend face-to-face client meetings, industry events and exhibitions where required
• Successfully transition newly won clients into the Account Management team

• Experience managing opportunities through the full sales cycle

We would equally welcome applications from experienced B2B sales professionals from financial services, asset finance, business services, managed services or other consultative sales environments.
