Business Development Manager
Reference: APR20260047
Expiry date: 08:50, Tue, 26th May 2026
Location: Liverpool
Salary: Competitive
Benefits: See below
Do you want to be a top sales performer earning 100k in a FTSE 250 company?
Field-based role covering the North West, with a strong focus on Liverpool and surrounding key commercial areas.
We’re looking for high-energy, pure new business hunters who thrive on opening doors, challenging the status quo, and winning customers from competitors.
This is not an account management role. You will not be inheriting a warm portfolio. You will build your own pipeline from scratch and win business through consistent, high-activity outbound prospecting and face‑to‑face engagement.
At Northgate Vehicle Hire, we believe in usership over ownership, helping businesses access flexible, scalable vehicle solutions that keep them moving without the burden of ownership.
You’ll be fully equipped with a company laptop, mobile phone and a company car to support your success on the road.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be the driving force behind new customer acquisition in your territory, responsible for:
* Identifying and winning new commercial customers through cold calling, door knocking, networking, referrals, and competitor targeting
* Building a detailed understanding of your local market, including key sectors, decision‑makers, and existing supplier arrangements
* Actively targeting businesses already using competitors (including major regional players such as West Wallasey)
* Creating tailored, consultative solutions across our full vehicle and support services
* Owning the full sales cycle from first contact through to close
* Working closely with central support teams to build compelling proposals and win new contracts
Benefits
* Salary – £40,000 per annum enhanced by a fantastic commission scheme plus a company car. New Business Managers see a realistic OTE of £70,000, top performers hitting their commission cap of £77,500 on‑top of salary.
* Annual leave – Start with 24 days, increasing to 26 days with service, plus public holidays and an extra day’s leave to celebrate your birthday.
* Pension – generous employer contributions of 5%
* Financial Benefits – free life assurance, a save‑as‑you‑earn scheme, an employee referral scheme (earning £1,000 per referral), and our Benefits App with discounts and cashback at top retailers such as Tesco, Asda, Currys, B&Q, and Wickes.
* Wellbeing & Lifestyle Services – colleague assistance programme with 24/7 GP service, mental health support and physiotherapy, cycle to work, eyecare vouchers, Health Cash Plan, Dental Plan and Travel Insurance.
* Motoring Benefits – exclusive employee vehicle‑leasing schemes, discounted repairs, and reduced rates on weekend car and van hires.
* Stream – a free financial wellbeing app that gives you more control over your pay, helps you save, provides financial advice and offers even more discounts on your shopping.
What we’re looking for
We want individuals who are already proven in fast‑paced, high‑activity new business roles, such as:
* Recruitment consultants / 360 agency recruiters
* Field sales / B2B outbound sales roles
* Telecoms, merchant services, FMCG, or energy sales
* Vehicle leasing, rental, or fleet sales environments (desirable but not essential)
You will succeed here if you:
* Are relentless in building your pipeline and generating your own leads
* Are comfortable with cold prospecting at volume
* Can confidently engage senior decision‑makers
* Thrive in a competitive territory where winning new accounts is the only measure that matters
* Can tailor solutions rather than sell a “one‑size‑fits‑all” product
* Take pride in being a visible, credible ambassador in your local market
We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace where everyone can thrive. We actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, identities, and abilities. If you need adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, just let us know. We’re here to support you.
