NYES is a leader in delivering high-quality traded services predominantly into the Education sector. We are now looking to extend our reach into additional sectors and are now looking for a Business Development Manager. This role offers a unique opportunity to play a key part in shaping that growth and driving commercial success.
The role will initially be leading NYES Catering & Cleaning in gaining new business within the wider public sector and the private sector. As a commercially minded and experienced professional, you will be responsible for identifying and securing new business opportunities, building strong relationships with prospective clients, and converting leads into long-term partnerships. You will be comfortable and confident in working within the target footprint creating your own leads; picking up the phone and selling the service; through to sales meetings/pitches, and finalising the deal. Working closely with colleagues across NYES, you will develop and deliver sales and business development strategies, manage a dynamic pipeline of opportunities, and represent the organisation at networking events and conferences.
Your ability to combine strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery will be essential in achieving ambitious income and growth targets. We are looking for an individual with a proven track record in B2B sales, lead generation, and market development, alongside strong communication and relationship-building skills. In return, North Yorkshire Council offers the chance to work within a supportive and forward‑thinking environment where innovation and collaboration are valued.
This is more than just a sales role - it is an opportunity to influence growth, lead change, and make a meaningful impact within a respected public service organisation.
