Business Development Manager – Digital & Marketing Recruitment
Hybrid Bournemouth / Remote UK
If you want your commission to reflect the revenue you create, without juggling delivery, this role gives you exactly that.
Acquire is building a dedicated commercial function. This is a pure business development role where your focus is simple: build pipeline, win signed terms, and create revenue opportunities.
When you do that consistently, your income grows predictably.
What This Means For You
You’ll focus entirely on growth — not firefighting searches, not managing candidates, not competing internally for credit.
The more conversations you open and convert:
* The more signed terms you secure
* The more placements delivery makes
* The more revenue is attributed to your clients
* The more commission and bonus you earn
With uncapped commission, realistic earnings move from £60–80k in Year 1 to £80–100k+ as momentum builds.
Strong performance also creates a clear pathway into Commercial Manager and, over time, Commercial Director as the BD function grows.
You’ll work directly with the founder every week, shaping pipeline strategy and having real input into how the business scales, without layers of hierarchy slowing decisions down.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Generating 5–10 qualified client conversations per week (mix of warm, lapsed and new prospects)
* Targeting D2C, CPG and growth-stage brands
* Converting conversations into signed terms
* Identifying live hiring needs and briefing delivery
* Managing early-stage client relationships
* Building consistent top-of-funnel activity that turns into revenue
Who This Suits
* A 360 recruiter who enjoys BD but wants to drop delivery
* An SDR/BDR who wants more ownership and higher earning potential
* A commercially driven recruiter motivated by pipeline and progression
Experience in marketing, digital or consumer markets helps, but commercial drive and consistency matter more.
Acquire is scaling into the US market, and this role builds the UK and European pipeline engine that supports it.
