Job description

Senior Business Development Executive - Leading Market Research & Insight Consultancy

Central London (Hybrid with 2-3 office days)

£40-50,000 + commission + great benefits

A great opportunity for an ambitious Business Development Executive looking for a step up to join a respected insight consultancy.

Joining a team focusing on well-targeted business development and aiming at top blue-chip clients across a range of sectors, you will prospect new business leads, with the leverage of great market research and consultancy products and a very well-established reputation as a leader in its field. Current clients include household names across consumer, public and corporate sectors.

This is a visible role with real ownership, acting as a contact for a broad research offer spanning quantitative and qualitative work across a wide range of project types. It involves building relationships with those who commission research, understanding their challenges, and working alongside a team of researchers to turn conversations into winning proposals. Sharing market insight and contributing to marketing activity are part of the picture too. Lead generation will be varied, encompassing networking, referrals, company and industry events, targeted outreach and social media activity.

A track record of selling full-service market research is ideal, along with the confidence and credibility to talk knowledgeably about research methods. You will be a self-starter who relishes the opportunity to talk to clients about their business problems and offer bespoke solutions. Bright with a questioning mind, a can-do attitude and collaborative approach, you will thrive within this successful insight consultancy.

Alongside an uncapped commission scheme there is a very strong benefits package and the chance to develop your career make a real mark on the future success of a growing business.
