THE OPPORTUNITY
A well-established and highly respected water treatment specialist is looking for a driven Business Development Manager to take charge of Southern England.
This is a field-facing, high-impact role where you will be the front line of growth-opening doors, winning contracts, and building long-term client relationships in a technically complex and highly valuable sector.
You'll be trusted with autonomy, backed with support, and measured on results-not activity.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
This is a true hunter role. Your focus will be:
* Driving new business growth across Southern England
* Identifying and converting opportunities through cold outreach, networking, and structured lead generation
* Building long-term client relationships that generate repeat and ongoing revenue
* Leading technical sales discussions with confidence and credibility
* Presenting and pitching solutions that clearly demonstrate commercial value
* Negotiating and closing contracts in line with business objectives
* Tracking pipeline performance and reporting on sales activity and forecasts
* Working closely with internal teams to align strategy and execution
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
In this role, success isn't subtle-it's measurable:
* You grow market share in a defined territory
* You consistently convert opportunities into revenue
* You build a strong, predictable sales pipeline
* You become a trusted voice in both sales and strategy discussions
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
To be considered, you'll need:
* Minimum 3 years' experience in a Business Development or Sales role
* Proven success within the water treatment industry - essential
* Hands-on experience with industrial reverse osmosis and water softening systems
* Strong ability to present, influence, and close deals
* Confidence managing technical conversations with commercial clarity
* Solid understanding of MS Office and sales reporting tools
BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF
This is not a "wait for inbound leads" role.
If you want structure, scripts, and step-by-step instruction-this won't suit you.
But if you want:
* Control over your territory
* Freedom to build your own pipeline
* Real influence on business growth
* And the ability to directly impact revenue
