Job Description

As the Business Development Manager, you will be instrumental in expanding asecos's presence across the Central UK region. Your primary responsibility will involve driving sales through a dual approach: developing robust relationships with dealers and distributors, and directly engaging with end-users.

While you will inherit an existing portfolio of business and established customer relationships, this role extends beyond mere account management. Asecos is looking for a proactive and commercially astute individual who can identify and capitalize on new market opportunities to significantly grow the company's sales footprint.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Business Development Manager or similar commercial role.
• Demonstrable track record of achieving sales targets and driving business growth.
• Strong understanding of sales processes and customer relationship management.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage a sales territory effectively.
• Existing right-to-work in the UK is preferred; foreign applicants should confirm their eligibility.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of £45,000 – £50,000.
• Opportunity to work with an established company and expand existing business.
• Generous commission structure based on performance.
• Company car or car allowance.
• Professional development and training opportunities.

Visa Sponsorship & Foreigner Eligibility

Visa sponsorship is not explicitly advertised for this role; asecos Ltd prefers UK-based applicants with existing right-to-work. Foreign applicants may still apply, but it is highly recommended to confirm their eligibility and the employer's stance on sponsorship directly. If your immigration status is borderline, clearly articulate your current right-to-work or your plans to secure it in your application.
