FULL DESCRIPTION

Business Development Executive

Location: Bury St Edmunds | Salary: £32k - 40k per year | Type: Permanent, Full-time | Hybrid (Field & Office)

Job Description

We are looking for a high energy, highly motivated Business Development Exec who thrives on ‘hunting’ and converting new business. Working for our market-leading client in the component manufacturing industry - If you are someone who finds the door, kicks it down, and moves on to the next one, then we want to hear from you! This is a high-autonomy, high-reward role focused 100% on new acquisition.

The Role

  • Engineer Your Own Pipeline via phone, LinkedIn, and networking — to build a funnel from scratch.
  • Own the Close: Take full control of the sales cycle, from the first 'hello' to the final handshake.
  • Consult & Convert: Move beyond 'selling' to delivering high-impact, solution-based proposals that solve real business problems.
  • Dominate the Territory: Identify untapped markets and turn them into active revenue streams.

What We’re Looking For

  • A proven track record of finding and winning business in competitive spaces.
  • You view 'no' as a temporary detour, not a dead end.
  • A strategic mindset – knowing how to target the right stakeholders.
  • A background in electrical, manufacturing, component-led or technical sales is a massive plus, but your closing ability is what matters most.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive Base: £32,000 basic salary.
  • A structured bonus scheme (£2,000 per quarter) that rewards your direct impact.
  • Growth: This is a company that promotes success. Your career path is tied to your performance.
