About this role
Business Development Manager, Leeds, £45,000 basic (dependent on experience) + annual profit share (circa £52K OTE). This is a role within a buoyant, growing, recession-resilient firm and a market leader in its niche. You'll inherit a mature, warm client base while also driving new business acquisition, making this a genuine hybrid of account management and hunting. We're looking for an experienced sales professional who isn't afraid to pick up the phone and drive new business. While the role is roughly 80% account management, inheriting a well-maintained client portfolio and its existing revenue stream, we need someone with a new-business mentality: driven, ambitious, and focused on net-new client acquisition alongside managing existing relationships. The business is a leading provider of niche products to the public and private sectors, currently entering a period of rapid commercial growth.
