Business Development Manager

Electronic Components / Technical Sales

Oxfordshire / Buckinghamshire / Bedfordshire / Northamptonshire

£45,000 – £55,000 basic + uncapped commission + company car

I’m working with a well-established European electronics manufacturer looking to hire a technically minded BDM to grow an established territory across the South Midlands.

This role would suit someone currently selling electronic components, connectors, sensors, power supplies, embedded solutions, automation products, or other technical/electronic products into OEMs and engineering customers.

The position is heavily relationship and project focused — engaging with design engineers, technical teams, procurement, and manufacturing stakeholders to support projects from design stage through to production.

What the role involves:

• Managing and developing existing OEM and engineering accounts

• Identifying new business opportunities across manufacturing and industrial customers

• Selling consultatively into technical environments rather than transactional sales

• Supporting design-in/specification-led projects with long sales cycles

• Working closely with engineering and procurement teams to deliver tailored solutions

• Building long-term customer partnerships across the territory

What they’re looking for:

• Experience in technical B2B sales or engineering sales

• Background in electronic components, electromechanical products, automation, controls, sensors, connectors, or similar technical products

• Comfortable speaking with engineers and understanding technical applications

• Proven track record in business development and account growth

• Self-motivated and capable of managing a field-based territory

Why this role stands out:

• Established territory with existing customer relationships

• Strong technical product portfolio with genuine market demand

• Consultative sales environment with longer-term project work

• Supportive leadership team and realistic growth plans

• Good earning potential without aggressive micromanagement culture

• Opportunity to work with innovative engineering and manufacturing customers
