£40,000 + Bonus + Company Car + Pension + Excellent Benefits

Northampton | Field-Based UK-Wide | Hybrid Office & Client Site Role

Looking for a role where you can run your own territory, represent a premium British brand, and see your projects transform into world-class environments?

This is your chance to work with an award-winning manufacturer whose designs are trusted by global automotive brands, motorsport leaders, universities, and industrial innovators. You’ll enjoy autonomy, variety, and the backing of a respected name — all while developing your skills and career under an experienced, supportive Sales Director.

If you’re commercially driven, love seeing projects come to life, and thrive in a role that mixes client interaction, design collaboration, and technical challenge — this could be the perfect next step.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Business Development Manager, you’ll lead B2B sales projects from first contact to completion — identifying opportunities, building relationships, and delivering solutions that match each client’s vision.

Your focus will be to:

• Develop new business opportunities across automotive, industrial, education, and motorsport sectors.
• Manage the full sales cycle — from enquiry to proposal, negotiation, and closure.
• Build and nurture long-term client relationships with decision-makers, architects, and contractors.
• Collaborate with design, operations, and project teams to bring bespoke projects to life.
• Represent the brand at trade shows, exhibitions, and industry events.

You’ll be field-based across the UK, with a home and office balance and around 25k–35k driving miles per year — plenty of variety, freedom, and ownership of your territory.
