The Opportunity We are working on an exclusive basis with a specialist high-technology electronics business to appoint a commercially driven Business Development Manager focused on power electronics and high-voltage markets. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes advanced power conversion and high-voltage solutions, serving customers across defence, aerospace, automotive, industrial and scientific sectors. The business is undergoing an exciting transformation moving from a reactive sales model to a proactive, growth-led commercial culture. A dedicated Technical Lead and applications engineering function now provides strong back-office support, freeing this role to focus squarely on winning new business and developing existing accounts. This is a genuine opportunity to make your mark in a business with ambitious growth targets, strong technical credibility, and the backing of a major FTSE-listed group while retaining the agility and culture of an entrepreneurial SME. The Role Reporting to the Sales Director, you will take ownership of a portfolio of existing accounts and drive proactive new business development across high-voltage and power electronics applications. You will manage the full sales cycle from initial engagement through design-in to order placement, with full accountability for revenue growth and order intake. Key responsibilities include: Proactively identify, target, and develop new customer relationships through structured business development activity. Own and grow a portfolio of existing accounts, identifying new applications, programmes, and opportunities. Manage the full sales cycle end-to-end: engagement, design-in, quotation, negotiation, and close. Build trusted relationships with customers, prospects, and principal suppliers to drive cross-sell and up-sell activity. Monitor industry trends, attend relevant trade shows, and maintain competitive market awareness. Manage pipeline and forecasting using CRM tools, producing accurate sales reports and proposals. Develop application-level knowledge in key product lines, working closely with the Technical Lead on complex requirements. Act as a positive role model, sharing knowledge and supporting less experienced team members. The Candidate You will be a commercially hungry, technically credible BDM with a background in electronics distribution or technical sales someone who is motivated primarily by new business, customer engagement, and revenue growth rather than deep technical specialisation. You will likely bring: Proven experience in electronics distribution sales, ideally within power electronics or high-voltage markets. Strong working knowledge of power electronics technologies: power semiconductors, capacitors, magnetics, sensing, and high-voltage components. Demonstrated track record of identifying, developing, and closing new business from early engagement through to design-in and production ramp. Experience selling into defence, aerospace, or other regulated, high-reliability markets is a strong advantage. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills; able to engage credibly at all levels, from engineers to procurement leads. High energy, self-motivated, and proactive someone who consistently drives toward targets and takes ownership of outcomes. Comfortable with CRM systems for pipeline management, forecasting, and customer activity tracking. Degree-qualified in a relevant technical or engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience. Please note: candidates must be eligible for Security Check (SC) clearance. This typically requires at least five years of continuous UK residency and the right to work in the UK. The Package Highly competitive base salary. Bonus scheme 20% OTE, uncapped. Car allowance. Access to group Share Incentive Plan. Pension plan with 6.5% employer contribution. Group life insurance (4x salary). Private medical cover (individual). Employee Assistance Programme, wellbeing app and retail discount scheme. Cycle-to-work scheme. 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with option to buy/sell.
