Offer description

Business Development Lead Location: Fully Remote (UK) with travel for client pitches Package: Performance-Led Reward We're offering a highly competitive package designed to attract senior, top-tier sales talent. Base Salary: £70,000 - £75,000 On-Target Earnings: £110,000 - £115,000 The Opportunity We're working with a fast-growing, well-backed UK organisation operating in the insurance space, looking to appoint a senior, highly visible Business Development Lead to drive strategic partnerships across the UK market. This is a pure 'hunter' role suited to a resilient, commercially astute individual who thrives on building relationships from scratch, shaping complex propositions, and closing meaningful, revenue-driving deals. You'll operate as a senior individual contributor, trusted to own the full sales lifecycle and represent the business at the highest level with partners and stakeholders. What You'll Be Doing You'll take full ownership of end-to-end business development, from initial outreach through to commercial close. The role spans two complementary deal types: Large, complex partnership deals: Leading the hunt for high-value, strategic opportunities, working closely with internal specialists to shape propositions, build business cases, and manage senior-level pitches. Smaller, direct partnerships: Operating fully autonomously to identify, pitch, and close non-complex deals, creating your own pitch materials and narratives end-to-end. This is a hands-on role where success is driven by your ability to open doors, build trust, and convert opportunity into long-term commercial value. Why This Role Stands Out High visibility and impact: Your wins will directly influence business growth and be visible to senior leadership. Modern, ambitious culture: You'll be part of a driven, collaborative team that values ownership, pace, and commercial thinking. Genuine flexibility: Fully remote working with travel for key pitches and meetings, all expensed. You're trusted to manage your time and focus on outcomes. What We're Looking For This is a senior hire, and the following are essential: Insurance sector experience: You must have a background in insurance (pet insurance, underwriting, or brokerage experience is highly desirable). Strong commercial capability: You understand P&L, loss ratios, profit-share models, and how to construct robust, defensible business cases. Proven hunter mentality: A clear track record of sourcing, qualifying, and closing complex partnership deals. Credibility and resilience: Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders, challenging assumptions, and holding your own in commercial negotiations. Autonomous but collaborative: Self-motivated, disciplined, and outcomes-focused, while still operating with a team-first mindset RSG Plc is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
