What does the Business Development Executive role look like?
Working as a Business Development Executive, you'll join an existing sales team in an entry level role. It's a hybrid job, split between time spent in the Manchester office and some days working from home.
The first few weeks will be heavily training focused with your tasks and responsibilities starting to ramp up as you start to better learn and understand your market. Once fully up to speed, a typical day-to-day will consist of reaching out to potential new clients proactively, reacting to inbound marketing leads and supporting the senior sales team with account management.
As you progress and develop, you may be considered for an opportunity to be promoted to Business Development Manager - the sky is the limit for long term progression.

The successful candidate may have picked these skills up through work experiences alongside education such as hospitality, retail and customer service. People that have played high level sport could also be well suited to this fast-paced, target driven industry.
