Business Development Manager

Love opening doors? Make the first hello count.

Our client is a fast-growing, independent premium brand based in Norwich, with a product people genuinely love and ambitious plans to grow. They’re expanding the team, and they’re looking for a Business Development Manager to be the first voice and the friendly face of the brand to brand-new customers.

This is a true hunter role at entry to mid level, ideal for someone with a natural gift for sales who wants to build a career with a brand that’s going places. You won’t be looking after existing accounts. Your job is to find new ones, get in front of decision-makers and win them over.

What you’ll be doing:

Finding and opening doors with new customers across retail, hospitality, corporate and more
Picking up the phone, writing the message and getting in the room to make that first impression count
Building quick, genuine rapport with buyers and decision-makers, and turning conversations into new accounts
Representing a brand people love, at calls, meetings and events
Working closely with the sales team to hand over and grow the accounts you win
What we’re looking for:

A natural hunter with real drive, energy and tenacity, who is proactive rather than reactive
Someone articulate and endearing, who carries themselves well and builds rapport straight away
Confidence on the phone and in front of decision-makers, and no fear of a “no”
A track record of winning new business, or a natural sales gift that shows early promise
Experience in a fast-paced sales environment is a plus, but attitude and personality matter most, and the right person will be trained
A real connection with a brand that has a purpose beyond profit
Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 plus bonus and profit share
Location: Norwich, office-based

This is a confidential search, and full details of the business will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
