Business Development Manager Full Time Permanent Remote UK Travel Technical B2B Sales

Are you a technical B2B salesperson who enjoys creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to land on your desk?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a growing UK market, build relationships with major organisations across transport, logistics and warehousing , and influence projects long before a purchase order is on the table.

We're looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager who can combine technical understanding with genuine business development ability — someone who enjoys getting out in front of customers, uncovering problems, influencing specifications and turning conversations into long-term commercial opportunities

What you'll be doing

  • Build the market — develop and execute a sales strategy focused on growth across the UK transport and logistics sector.
  • Create opportunities — proactively identify prospects, projects and emerging areas where you can add value.
  • Build relationships — establish strong relationships with decision-makers and influencers at multiple levels of an organisation.
  • Influence specifications — engage early in the project lifecycle so that the right solutions are considered and specified from the outset.
  • Present & demonstrate — deliver technical presentations, seminars, site visits and hands-on demonstrations to customers and partners.
  • Develop the partner network — identify, establish and develop integration and installation partners who can support market growth.
  • Educate the market — help customers and partners understand technical requirements, applications, legislation, standards and the commercial benefits of the solutions available.
  • Own your pipeline — manage opportunities through Salesforce/CRM, provide accurate forecasting and maintain a clear view of prospects, projects and competitive activity.
  • Shape future opportunities — feed market intelligence back into the wider business to help identify new product and service opportunities.

What we’re looking for

You’ll ideally have a background in technical B2B sales , with experience selling into transport, logistics, warehousing or automotive .

Experience within areas such as industrial automation, system integration, building services, access control, safety solutions or other specification-led environments would be highly relevant.

Most importantly, you’ll be:

  • A proven new business developer with a strong hunter mentality
  • Comfortable selling technically and commercially
  • Confident influencing multiple stakeholders
  • Curious, consultative and commercially driven
  • Happy being out with customers across the UK

If you’re a technical salesperson who wants the autonomy to build something and make a genuine impact on market growth, this could be the opportunity for you.
