đź“Ť Reddish, Greater Manchester | Hybrid (2 days in-office)
đź’¸ Uncapped Commission | High-Autonomy | Global Travel | Equity-Backed Growth
We’re hiring a Business Development Manager to join a fast-scaling talent partner that's redefining recruitment for early-stage startup and scale-up tech businesses. After a strong first 12–14 months focused on existing relationships, we’re doubling down on new business growth — and that’s where you come in.
What’s the Opportunity?
We specialise in GTM recruitment (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success) for high-growth companies in the UK & EMEA. Clients range from stealth-mode startups to funded scaleups, typically 20–100 headcount.
As BDM, you’ll partner directly with the founder — someone who’s built a deep niche and has strong ties with C-level execs. You’ll be the driving force behind new client acquisition, while also inheriting live roles to deliver from Day 1.
💼 What You’ll Be Doing:
* Lead outbound BD efforts to win exclusive & retained projects
* Build strong relationships with startup founders, VPs & CROs
* Represent the brand at events, client visits, and global meetups
* Collaborate with a dedicated resourcing team for delivery support
* Own your desk with freedom, support and serious earning potential
💡 What We’re Looking For:
* 2–3 years+ in BD, sales or recruitment — agency or SaaS sales is a plus
* Natural relationship builder with curiosity and initiative
* Able to work autonomously and thrive without rigid KPIs
* Self-starter mindset — not afraid of tough days or long-term wins
* Not a job-hopper — we’re looking for someone ready to grow with us
🏆 What You’ll Get:
* 75% focus on BD, with mentorship directly from the founder
* Live roles to deliver on from day one
* Hybrid work model (2 days min in the office)
* Uncapped commission:
* 10–25% depending on deal value
* Quarterly kickers up to ÂŁ10k
* Monthly incentives, annual holidays, & genuine six-figure potential
* Culture built on trust, autonomy, and high performance
⚙️ Interview Process:
* Intro chat with the Founder
* Team meet on Zoom
* Final F2F meeting — over lunch
