Job description

Business development Manager opportunity - Bristol

Salary: 40-45k base + uncapped commission

Join the UK's leading name in R&D tax relief and innovation incentives For over a decade, they've been at the forefront of helping ambitious, forward-thinking businesses unlock the incentives and reliefs that fuel their growth — from R&D tax relief and Patent Box to grants and capital allowances. With 100+ tax, industry and legal specialists, 15,000+ successful claims delivered, and over £500 million secured for clients across sectors from aerospace to life sciences, they're not just active in this space — they help define it.

The opportunity

This is a genuine new-business role for someone who thrives on the hunt — identifying, engaging and converting high-potential prospects into long-term client relationships. You'll be at the sharp end of their growth strategy, opening doors with finance leaders, founders and decision-makers at innovative companies who don't yet know how much value they're leaving on the table.

What you'll bring

• 3+ years' B2B sales experience, ideally including time in SDR or BDR/BDE roles — you know how to build pipeline, not just work it
• A track record of proactive, consultative outreach — you're comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations from scratch
• Industry experience in SaaS and/or professional services is highly desirable — particularly where you've sold into finance functions or around R&D/innovation themes
• Confidence engaging senior stakeholders (FDs, CFOs, founders) and translating complex value propositions into clear, compelling conversations
• A genuine curiosity about business, innovation and technology — you'll be talking to some of the most interesting companies in the UK
