Business Development Executive

Location: Spilsby

Job Type: Full-Time

Travel: Travel and some overnight stays will be required

About the Role:

Our client is seeking a driven and dynamic Business Development Executive to join their expanding team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a confident, motivated individual with strong communication skills, who thrives on building strong relationships, identifying new growth opportunities, and delivering results.

The successful candidate will take ownership of a portfolio of key accounts and buying groups, nurturing and developing these partnerships to maximise performance and long-term value.

A key part of the role will be to identify and develop new business opportunities, expanding their customer base and increasing market share through proactive prospecting and strategic planning.

You will play a pivotal role in driving sales growth, increasing market presence, and ensuring their customers receive exceptional service and support.

You will confidently represent the business at customer meetings, trade exhibitions, supplier open days, and customer events, delivering engaging presentations and building meaningful industry connections.

The position will require some travel and overnight stays.

Flexibility, strong organisational skills, and a willingness to be on the road are essential.

In return, they offer the opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking and ambitious organisation where your contribution will have a direct and visible impact on their continued success, bringing with it the opportunity for career growth and progression within the company.

Skills & Experience:

Experience in a sales-oriented role is certainly advantageous; however, they place far greater value on attitude, mindset, and personality.

They believe skills can be developed, but drive, resilience, and character are far harder to teach.

The ideal candidate will be confident and articulate in their communication, and comfortable building rapport with a wide range of individuals and have the ability to adapt their approach depending on the audience.

Most importantly, they are seeking someone who possesses a genuine hunger to succeed — an individual who is ambitious, self-motivated, and eager to continuously improve.

You should be goal-driven, resilient in the face of rejection, and motivated not only by personal achievement but by progression within the company.

They value individuals who take ownership of their performance, actively seek feedback, and are committed to building a long-term career.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify and develop new business opportunities
• Build, nurture, and manage long-term customer relationships
• Deliver confident, engaging in-person presentations
• Provide professional and energetic product training
• Develop and implement strategic plans to achieve growth
• Manage multiple projects and opportunities simultaneously
• Maintain accurate records and reporting
• Represent the company professionally at meetings, events, and networking opportunities

Person Specification:

They are looking for someone who is:

• An exceptional communicator – confident speaking with people at all levels (this is essential)
• A strategic thinker who can see the bigger picture
• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Self-driven, motivated, proactive and able to use their own initiative
• Resilient and persistent – does not give up after initial rejection
• Results-focused with a strong “get the job done” attitude

What They Offer:

• A competitive salary and benefits package.
  
  (£30,000 + Bonuses)
• The opportunity to play a key role in a leading UK business.
• A supportive and collaborative work environment.
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.

If this sounds like the opportunity for you, please apply ASAP.
