The Opportunity
We’re working with a growing UK digital agency that’s looking to bring its business development function in-house and accelerate its next phase of growth. They’re looking for a confident, commercially driven Business Development Manager who knows how to open doors, start meaningful conversations and turn opportunities into new business.
This isn’t a role where you’ll simply be handed a list of warm leads. You’ll have the autonomy to build your own pipeline, shape the outbound approach and work directly with the leadership team to drive commercial growth. With flexible working arrangements, an attractive commission structure and the option of a fractional engagement, this could be an excellent opportunity for an experienced sales professional looking to make a genuine impact without committing to a full-time position.


What You’ll Be Doing
*Proactively identifying and approaching prospective clients through cold calling, email outreach and LinkedIn.
*Building relationships with decision-makers and generating qualified new business opportunities.
*Managing your own sales pipeline, from initial outreach through to meetings and commercial discussions.
*Working closely with the agency’s directors to convert opportunities into paying clients.
*Developing targeted prospecting strategies and identifying new markets.
*Tracking activity, pipeline progression and potential revenue opportunities.
*Representing the business at occasional industry events and networking opportunities.


What We’re Looking For
*Proven experience in business development, outbound sales, lead generation or a similar commercial role.
*Confidence picking up the phone, engaging senior decision-makers and generating opportunities from scratch.
*A strong track record of building pipelines and progressing opportunities.
*Excellent communication skills and a personable, consultative approach.
*Someone self-motivated, organised and comfortable working independently.
*A commercially minded individual who thrives on results rather than simply activity.
Experience selling digital agency services, eCommerce solutions, web development or technology services would be particularly advantageous, although we’re equally interested in strong sales professionals from other sectors.


What’s on Offer?
*£1,000–£1,500 per month base salary or retainer, depending on experience and arrangement.
*5% commission on successfully sold projects.
*Potential additional incentives for qualified meetings booked.
*Flexible working across approximately 2 - 3 days per week.
*UK remote working, with occasional meetings or industry events.
*Open to both part-time employment and fractional/contract arrangements.
*Direct access to the leadership team and the opportunity to influence the agency’s growth strategy.
