Corporate Account Business Development Manager
Hybrid / UK & International Travel Required. Competitive Basic Salary + Uncapped Commission. High‑Growth Opportunity. Industry – Respected Business with Long‑Term Career Potential.
Are you a commercially driven relationship builder who thrives on winning new business, influencing senior decision‑makers, and delivering consultative solutions rather than transactional sales? We are looking for an ambitious, high‑performing Corporate Account Business Development Manager to join a highly respected training provider with an outstanding reputation across technical, management and business skills development.
This is not a volume‑sales role. It is about building credibility with senior stakeholders, understanding complex business challenges, and creating tailored learning solutions that genuinely add value. We are particularly interested in speaking with individuals from either:
* A B2B training or learning solutions sales background
* Recruitment professionals who have experience engaging senior stakeholders, developing new business, managing complex sales cycles, and operating in a highly target‑driven environment.
You'll play a key role in driving revenue growth through both new client acquisition and development of existing accounts, working with organisations across a wide range of industries in the UK and internationally. This is a role for someone with a true hunter mentality – someone who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities, and building lasting commercial partnerships. You will:
* Develop and grow a strong pipeline of corporate opportunities
* Sell tailored training and development solutions to senior decision‑makers and C‑suite executives
* Build relationships across complex organisations with multiple stakeholders
* Identify client challenges and provide strategic, solution‑led recommendations
* Work closely with subject matter experts and internal teams to deliver outstanding client solutions
* Attend client meetings across the UK and overseas when required
* Contribute ideas, market insight, and commercial strategy to support continued business growth
We're less interested in industry labels and more interested in mindset, credibility, and commercial capability. You may already work within training sales, L&D solutions, or corporate development – or you could come from a recruitment background where you've built strong client relationships, influenced senior stakeholders, and consistently exceeded targets. You'll likely have:
* A proven track record in B2B sales and business development
* Experience selling consultative or solution‑led services
* Confidence communicating with senior leadership teams and C‑level executives
* Strong pipeline generation and outbound business development skills
* A resilient, self‑motivated, and proactive approach
* The ability to navigate complex sales processes and negotiate effectively
* A commercially driven mindset with a genuine passion for building relationships
This is an opportunity to become part of an established and highly respected organisation with genuine longevity, an excellent market reputation, and ambitious growth plans. In return, you'll benefit from:
* Uncapped earning potential
* A supportive and collaborative environment
* The opportunity to work with recognised industry experts
* Career stability and long‑term progression opportunities
* Exposure to international clients and projects
* A role where your success and contribution will genuinely be recognised and rewarded
This role is based in West Sussex and will require office presence – 2‑3 days a week.
