A growing business is looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager to help shape the next phase of its growth journey.

Instead, it is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial sales professional who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, and generating revenue through their own network and business development expertise.

The business is at an exciting stage of its evolution, with ambitious growth plans and a clear vision for the future. Revenue is already established, but the focus now is on accelerating growth, expanding market presence, and building a strong foundation for long-term success.

Support the growth of the business through proactive business development and relationship building
Leverage an existing network to identify and secure new commercial opportunities
Build and manage a strong pipeline of prospective clients and partners
Develop strategic relationships across key sectors and decision-makers
Lead conversations from initial introduction through to negotiation and close
Work closely with senior leadership to shape the commercial strategy
Provide market insight and identify new routes to revenue growth
Represent the business at industry events, networking functions, and client meetings
Help establish the foundations for future sales team growth as the business expands

The Person:

Currently operating in a Business Development Manager, Senior Business Development Manager, or similar commercial role
Strong track record of personally generating revenue and winning new business in a corporate catering environment
Well-connected with an established professional network and proven relationship-building skills
Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a growing business environment
Comfortable creating opportunities from scratch rather than relying on inbound leads
Commercially astute with strong negotiation and influencing skills
Self-motivated, resilient, and driven by growth and success
Looking for an opportunity where their impact can be seen directly in the performance of the business
