We’re recruiting on behalf of one of the UK’s most recognisable media organisations – a trusted name behind hundreds of local news brands across print and digital. As they continue to grow, we’re looking for a Business Development Manager to join their commercial team, covering the Cheshire region.
This role is ideal for a motivated sales professional who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, and helping clients succeed through smart, effective advertising solutions.
About the Role
This is a consultative field sales role, with a focus on developing new business and managing a portfolio of existing clients. You’ll be offering a range of advertising solutions – including both traditional media and digital marketing – to help businesses connect with their local audiences.
Your time will be split between working from home, meeting clients face-to-face, and occasional days in the office.
Key responsibilities include:
* Prospecting and generating new business opportunities
* Re-engaging lapsed clients and developing long-term relationships
* Conducting client meetings via phone, video, and in person
* Offering tailored advertising solutions that align with client goals
* Managing your own sales pipeline and territory
* Achieving sales targets and KPIs with the support of a collaborative team
Who We’re Looking For
You’ll need some experience in B2B sales, ideally in a consultative or solution-led environment. More important than industry background is your ability to communicate confidently, understand client needs, and present ideas that deliver value.
We’re looking for someone who:
* Has previous B2B sales experience (any sector welcome)
* Builds strong relationships and communicates clearly
* Is proactive, self-motivated, and target-driven
* Manages their time effectively and enjoys autonomy
* Has a genuine interest in helping businesses grow
Experience in media, advertising, or digital marketing is helpful – but by no means essential. Full product training will be provided.
What’s on Offer
* Competitive basic salary
* Uncapped commission structure
* Flexible hybrid working model
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays and your birthday off
* Company pension scheme
* Access to a range of employee discounts and wellbeing perks
* Cycle-to-work scheme, gym discounts, and more
* Structured onboarding, ongoing training, and clear career progression
If you're looking for a role that combines independence, variety, and the chance to work with a reputable media brand — this could be your perfect next step.
