Business Development & Account Management
Manchester | Hybrid | £27.5k base | £40k OTE Year 1 (uncapped)
You’ve got around a year of B2B sales or recruitment experience. You know how to pick up the phone, build rapport, and win business - and now you’re ready for a role with more ownership, better progression, and proper earning potential?
We’re hiring a Business Development & Account Manager to join a Manchester-based team. This is a hybrid role combining new business development with account management - ideal if you want to move beyond pure cold outreach and start building long-term client relationships.
Why this role?
* £40,000+ realistic year-one OTE (uncapped commission)
* Clear path to 2 promotions within ~18 months
* Client-facing role - meetings, lunches, events
* Progression tailored to you (AM, BDM, Client Success)
* Great Place to Work certified + Top 100 UK Workplace
* Strong socials, incentives, and team culture
* Hybrid working
* A supportive, high-performance environment where development is taken seriously
The role
You’ll take ownership of a sizeable client base while continuing to develop new relationships:
* Managing and growing a portfolio of ~200 accounts
* Developing long-term relationships with agencies
* Generating new business through calls, emails, and relationship-led outreach
* Attending client meetings and hospitality (lunches, coffees, drinks) when required
* Identifying opportunities to increase account value and retention
This is not a call-centre role and not pure new business - it’s about becoming a trusted commercial partner.
What we’re looking for
* 12+ months’ experience in B2B sales or recruitment
* Comfortable starting conversations and building relationships from scratch
* Commercially minded, organised, and motivated by progression
If you’re currently in sales or recruitment and feel ready for more responsibility, better earnings, and a clearer career path, this is a strong next step.
