Job Description
Ready to own your pipeline, win big clients, and make a real commercial impact?
Do you come from a background working in marketing services, promotional marketing OR branded merchandise?
We’re partnering with a high-growth, award-winning branded merchandise agency delivering creative, global solutions to some of the world’s leading organisations. With sustainability credentials placing them in the top 5% globally and a reputation for standout campaigns, this is a business that’s going places that needs a driven Business Development Manager to fuel that journey.
The Opportunity:
This is a true new business role perfect for someone who thrives on building relationships, opening doors, and converting opportunities.
You’ll be responsible for:
Driving ~5% YoY revenue growth through new client acquisition
Securing 3–6 major new clients annually
Targeting senior stakeholders across Marketing, Procurement, Events & Comms
Owning the full sales cycle: outreach → discovery → pitch → conversion
You won’t be alone, you’ll have tools, data, and support but success is down to your energy, curiosity, and commercial instinct.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Proactively generating and qualifying new business opportunities
Running high-impact discovery meetings and presentations
Building tailored, insight-led proposals with internal teams
Using tools like HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator & outreach platforms
Managing and mentoring a part-time BD Coordinator
Representing the business at events and trade shows
Keeping a sharp, data-driven pipeline with clear reporting
What We’re Looking For:
You’re not just a salesperson - you’re a strategic relationship builder
Proven track record in new business / business development
Experience selling into corporate clients with longer sales cycles
Confident presenter with strong storytelling ability
Commercially sharp, target-driven, and self-motivated
Comfortable with CRM systems (ideally HubSpot) and outbound tools
Able to spot real opportunities and walk away from the wrong ones
Why This Role Stands Out:
Work with a globally connected business and premium client base
Be part of a creative, collaborative, high-performing team
Your wins directly impact growth
Strong infrastructure + autonomy = serious earning potential
