Job Description
Do you have an unwavering passion for winning new business, but perhaps also a fatigue for the quick, unrealistic wins that are expected of you?
Have you got a solid background in winning business of large brand names, taking pride in a human approach to sales and business development, forging stronger relationships than the average, so called "BD expert"?
If so, this opportunity may well be the missing piece in your career journey so far.
This business is a trail blazer, although not a start up. They're already growing revenue like mad, but genuinely, not just advertising it for the sake of marketing. They've got a culture of winning, success and delivery, but one that sees employees as humans who they want to develop. This role offers the successful candidate the opportunity to take them even further.
With the chance to own, grow and eventually lead on a new revenue stream, but one they already have proof is going to be deliverable (and hugely successful), this role will be an extremely visible opportunity to bring some household name clients to this wonderful SME in a hugely exciting and growth oriented sector. Based near Liverpool Street, the foster a hybrid working environment and have an office environment that would be the envy of most businesses of a similar size.
Equally, their own employee benefits platform is superb - this comes back to wanting staff to feel valued and motivated, not just numbers or KPIs to the leadership.
To be considered, you must be a hungry, dynamic and focused business development leader, but a good human with it. You must thrive off the success of making connections, getting a foot in the door of a new client having worked hard to forge a relationship over longer periods of time and NOT quick, demanding, classic sales patter jibes. You must be great on the phone, but also skilled with written sales content and above all? A team player.
It's not a role for anyone who has predominantly worked outside of the commercial sector, and those from a service oriented sales background will be favoured given the sector of the partner client.
The future is growth, the future for this role is the same - with a view in the long term to lead an entire function once success has been established. It's also a highly visible role for the Senior leadership team, which would unquestionable stand the successful incumbent in good stead for future opportunities.
If that's you? Apply.
If you're a classic sales type who would stomp over their colleagues to make a sale? Don't.
