Job description

Business Development Manager - Print, POS & Visual Branding

North West / West Yorkshire (Hybrid)
Negotiable DOE commission/package

Industry: Large Format Retail POS Signage Visual Branding

I am working exclusively with a fantastic independent print and visual branding business in the North of England who are looking to bring an experienced sales professional into their team.

This is a business with a real family feel to it. The owner is incredibly hand-on, down-to-earth and still very much involved in the day-to-day running of the company. Staff retention is excellent, with many members of the team having been with the business for a significant amount of time.

They have grown steadily, own their premises and have built the business on strong client relationships, quality and service.

Now they are looking ahead to the next stage.

They want an experienced salesperson who can help open new doors, develop new markets and bring additional sizeable accounts into the business.

What Can You Sell?

There's plenty to get your teeth into.

The business designs, manufactures and delivers a broad range of visual branding solutions including:

• Retail POS & POP
• Large Format Graphics
• Internal & External Signage
• Window, Wall & Floor Graphics
• Display Stands & Bespoke Props
• Lightboxes & Tension Fabric Systems
• Exhibition Displays
• Retail Campaign Production
• Managed Print

Projects can be managed from initial consultation and creative concept through production, distribution and nationwide installation, giving you a genuinely broad solution to take to prospective clients.

Where's the Opportunity?

Retail is already a major market for the business, but there are plenty of other avenues to explore where the company's combination of creative, print, signage, POS and installation capabilities can add value.

What I'm Looking For

I am looking for someone who knows how to sell print, graphics, signage or retail display solutions and, importantly, already understands the market.

You’ll ideally bring experience across large format, retail POS, signage, visual branding or a closely related print environment, along with the confidence to approach significant brands and develop relationships at senior level.

This isn't about hammering the phones and chasing low-value transactional print.

They want someone who can identify the right opportunities, understand what a customer is trying to achieve and use the company's in-house capabilities to put together a solution. Their existing retail work spans everything from large-format and window graphics to POS, standees, lightboxes and complete campaign rollouts, so there is plenty of scope to cross-sell and grow accounts.

Why This One?

For me, a big attraction here is the culture and the opportunity to make an impact.

You’re not joining a huge corporate where you’re simply another salesperson on a spreadsheet.

You’ll work directly with a hand-on owner who knows the industry inside out, has built a stable business and genuinely wants someone who can come in and help him take it forward.

The company has a loyal, long-standing workforce, established customers, its own premises and in-house production capabilities. It isn’t trying to reinvent itself overnight - it's growing steadily and looking for the right person to accelerate that growth.

There's also flexibility around the role and package for the right individual.
