The Role

I am working with a client in Bristol who are looking for a passionate and driven Business Development Manager to join their sales team. You will be responsible for securing new business opportunities, selling SaaS solutions that deliver real returns for clients. This role is a mix of new and existing business.

Most of the pipeline comes from leads, and outreach does not involve cold calling, but rather contacting prospective opportunities and closing business with clients that have shown an interest in services.

You will have access to a database of prospects to chase, and you will also attend industry events once or twice per quarter.

If you have an entrepreneurial mindset you will do well in this environment. No micromanaging, and a manager who encourages free thinking and independence.
