The Opportunity

Are you a true hunter who thrives on opening doors, creating opportunities and winning new business?

We're recruiting on behalf of a growing and ambitious UK manufacturer that is investing heavily in its future growth. This is a newly created role within a dedicated Growth Team and presents an exciting opportunity for an energetic Business Development Executive to play a key role in expanding market share and identifying new revenue opportunities.

This is not an account management position. We're looking for someone who enjoys researching prospects, making outbound calls, securing meetings and building a high-quality pipeline of opportunities for the wider commercial team.

You'll be engaging with senior decision-makers across multiple sectors, identifying organisations with upcoming projects, and creating opportunities through a mixture of market intelligence, buyer intent data, CRM tools and proactive outreach.

Key Responsibilities

New Business Development

  • Identify and generate new business opportunities across target markets.
  • Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified prospects.
  • Generate appointments and sales opportunities through proactive outbound activity.
  • Develop relationships with key stakeholders and decision-makers.

Prospecting & Lead Generation

  • Research target organisations and identify buying signals.
  • Approach Facilities Directors, Estates Managers, Property Directors, Procurement Teams, Contractors and Architects.
  • Conduct professional, value-led conversations that convert prospects into opportunities.
  • Create tailored outreach campaigns using multiple channels.

CRM & Pipeline Management

  • Manage prospect activity through HubSpot CRM.
  • Maintain accurate records and pipeline data.
  • Track opportunities, conversations and next actions.
  • Ensure qualified opportunities are effectively handed over to the sales team.

Market Intelligence

  • Monitor construction projects, refurbishment activity and market trends.
  • Use platforms such as LinkedIn, Cognism and HubSpot to identify opportunities.
  • Gather market insight and competitor intelligence to support business growth.

About You

We're keen to speak with candidates who can demonstrate:

  • Proven success within Business Development, Lead Generation, Sales Development Representative (SDR) or outbound sales roles.
  • A genuine passion for winning new business.
  • Confidence making outbound calls and engaging senior stakeholders.
  • Strong commercial awareness and an ability to identify opportunities.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Resilience, determination and the ability to handle objections positively.
  • CRM experience (HubSpot experience would be advantageous).
  • A proactive and self-motivated approach to work.

We're open to candidates from a variety of sectors who can demonstrate a strong track record of proactive business development and generating new opportunities.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a business with significant growth ambitions, where your contribution will have a direct impact on future success. You'll work closely with senior commercial leaders, gain exposure to strategic growth initiatives, and have the opportunity to develop into increasingly senior business development or sales roles as the company continues to expand.

If you're an ambitious, driven sales professional who enjoys opening new doors and creating opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.
