Business Development Manager

£14.8 - £17.2 per hourEstimated

Job Overview

Drive Growth. Build Relationships. Make Your Mark.

Are you a commercially-driven sales leader who thrives on winning new business? LKQ is looking for a  Business Development Manager to spearhead customer growth across our strategically important accounts, selling directly to local mechanics and garages.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who loves the thrill of the chase — identifying opportunities, building relationships from the ground up, and turning prospects into long-term, transacting customers.

What we offer

  • Competitive Salary – We regularly review our salaries to keep your earnings competitive.
  • Enhanced Annual Leave – Enjoy a great work-life balance with plenty of time off to recharge.
  • Exciting Career Growth – Unlock personal development and career opportunities across the UK & Europe.
  • Pension Contributions – We invest in your future with our contributory pension scheme.
  • Life Assurance for Peace of Mind – Providing financial security for you and your loved ones.
  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme – Confidential support for you and your family, whenever you need it.
  • Exclusive Gym Discounts – Stay fit and healthy with reduced memberships at top health clubs.
  • Comprehensive Healthcare Perks – Access an online GP, a hospital plan, and other wellness benefits.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme – Save money while staying active with tax-free bike purchases.
  • Retail & Staff Discounts – Enjoy exclusive savings on popular brands and products.

Key Responsibilities

  • Designing and executing targeted sales strategies that generate new business and grow our transacting customer base among local mechanics and garages
  • Getting under the skin of customer needs to craft bespoke solutions that set LKQ apart from the competition
  • Staying ahead of the curve on market trends, competitor activity, and garage scheme propositions within the independent garage sector
  • Owning your numbers — delivering against KPIs focused on new business acquisition and customer growth
  • Partnering closely with Area Sales, Operations, Concept Account Management, and Specialist Sales teams to bring strategies to life
  • Championing collaboration across LKQ channels to keep everyone aligned and pulling in the same direction
  • Coaching and mentoring the wider sales team, setting the standard for best-practice sales behaviours

Skills and Experience

  • A proven track record of strong sales performance in a leadership capacity
  • A genuine customer-first mindset, with real experience growing and retaining business accounts
  • Confidence using data to shape commercial decisions and sharpen performance
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder-influencing skills — you can hold your own in any room
  • A natural networker who builds trust and collaborates seamlessly across teams
  • The independence and strategic thinking to make smart calls fast, in a fast-moving environment

Why Work for LKQ

You'll be joining a business that's serious about growth — and serious about the people who drive it. This is a role with real autonomy, real influence, and a real opportunity to build lasting relationships with the local mechanics and garages who keep the trade moving.
