Business Development Manager
E-Learning & Digital Training Solutions
Manchester (Hybrid 3 days office / 2 days remote)
£40,000 base + £12,000 OTE uncapped
Join a Growing Business Transforming Workplace Learning
An exciting opportunity for a commercially driven sales professional who enjoys winning new business, building relationships, and helping organisations improve learning and development through innovative e-learning solutions.
This role is ideal for someone with a strong hunter mentality who thrives on generating opportunities, opening new doors, and managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close.
You’ll be joining a fast-growing business operating within the digital learning space, selling e-learning programmes and training solutions that help businesses upskill teams, improve performance, and support employee development.
This position will be focused primarily on new business generation, with approximately 80% of the role dedicated to winning new clients and 20% focused on managing and growing existing accounts.
If you’re ambitious, target-driven, and looking for a business that genuinely rewards effort and progression, this is a fantastic opportunity to accelerate your sales career.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Winning new business across a range of industries and building relationships with key decision‑makers
* Generating your own pipeline through outbound activity, LinkedIn, networking, referrals, and proactive prospecting
* Managing the full sales cycle from initial outreach through to negotiation and close
* Running consultative conversations to understand client learning and development challenges
* Selling tailored e‑learning programmes and digital training solutions to businesses
* Managing and growing a small portfolio of existing client accounts through upsell and cross‑sell opportunities
* Building long‑term client relationships and identifying opportunities for account growth
* Delivering engaging presentations, proposals, and commercial discussions
* Working closely with internal teams to ensure an excellent customer experience
What They’re Looking For
* Experience in a new business, outbound, or B2B sales role
* Confident prospecting and generating opportunities from scratch
* Strong communication and relationship‑building skills
* A resilient, motivated, and target‑driven mindset
* Ability to manage multiple opportunities in a fast‑paced environment
* Experience selling training, SaaS, professional services, tech, or learning solutions is highly beneficial
* Someone ambitious who wants to progress quickly within a growing business
Why This Role Stands Out
* Uncapped commission structure with strong earning potential
* Clear progression opportunities into Senior BDM or leadership roles
* Supportive and high‑energy sales culture
* Hybrid working with a collaborative Manchester office environment
* Excellent onboarding, training, and ongoing development
* Opportunity to sell impactful learning solutions used by leading organisations
* High‑autonomy role where your effort directly impacts your earnings and progression
Perfect for someone who is competitive, ambitious, and excited by the opportunity to build relationships, win business, and grow their career within the fast‑moving digital learning industry.
