If you’re an experienced sales professional who’s grown tired of volume-driven targets and would rather focus on meaningful, solution-led conversations, this role is one to explore.
This opportunity combines product sales and services, offering a consultative, relationship-focused sales environment within a well-established, technically led organisation operating across the industrial, engineering, and new energy sectors.
The role
This business has a strong presence across Northern England, with the North East and North West both playing a strategically important role in its future growth. The Business Development Manager will develop and grow relationships across both regions.
The position will require operating across multiple industrial hubs, building credibility quickly, and developing long-term customer relationships within technically complex environments.
What you’ll be doing
· Developing new business opportunities across both product sales and service offerings throughout the North East and North West
· Building and strengthening an existing network of customer relationships across Northern England
· Engaging with engineering, maintenance, operations, and procurement stakeholders
· Managing the full sales cycle, from early conversations through to contract award
· Representing the business at client meetings, site visits, and relevant industry events
Your background
You’ll likely have built your commercial experience within one or more of the following sectors:
· Onshore Oil & Gas
· Petrochemical
· Pharmaceutical
· Manufacturing
· MOD or defence-related projects
Previous experience selling technical products, services, or integrated solutions into regulated or operationally complex environments would be perfect.
What we’re looking for
· Proven experience in B2B sales or business development
· A consultative, professional sales approach focused on long-term value
· Confidence engaging with a broad range of technical and commercial stakeholders
· Strong organisation and territory management skills
· Full UK driving licence
What’s in it for you
· A senior, visible commercial role within a growing, well-established organisation
· A highly competitive salary and reward package
· A bonus structure designed to reward consistent, high-quality sales performance
· Company car allowance, and the tools needed to operate effectively
· Long-term development within a business investing in its people and markets
Interested?
If you’re open to a role that values credibility, relationships, and solution-led selling, and you have in-depth knowledge of the industrial heartlands of Northern England, I’d welcome an initial, informal and confidential conversation.
