Business Development Manager – Hunter

£45,000 Basic + Commission | £74,000 OTE | Qualified Leads | No Admin

Diamond Search Recruitment are delighted to be representing our client in the search for an ambitious, commercially driven Business Development Manager with a genuine hunter mentality.

If you're a proactive new business salesperson who thrives on winning customers, building relationships and closing deals, this could be your next big career move.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER – THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a genuine hunter role.

You'll be responsible for converting qualified opportunities into new business, developing strong commercial relationships and driving revenue growth.

And importantly, you'll be able to focus on selling.

You won't be spending your days buried in administration.

You'll have dedicated PA support, significantly reducing the administrative burden and giving you more time to:

• Identify and develop commercial opportunities
• Speak to decision-makers
• Build relationships
• Understand customer requirements
• Deliver compelling commercial conversations
• Negotiate and overcome objections
• Follow up opportunities
• Close new business
• Hit and exceed revenue targets

In short: more selling, less admin!

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

• £45,000 basic salary
• £74,000 OTE with uncapped earning potential
• 30–50 qualified opportunities every month
• No traditional cold calling
• Dedicated PA support to handle administration
• Full technical and product training
• Genuine career progression
• Annual salary increases - performace based
• Modern, fast-paced working environment
• A role where your performance directly impacts your earnings

You're being given the opportunities, support and infrastructure to succeed — your job is to convert them.

THE ROLE

As Business Development Manager, you'll take ownership of a pipeline of qualified customers who are actively interested in developing and manufacturing products.

You'll manage the sales process from initial conversation through to close, using your commercial skills to understand customer requirements, position the solution, negotiate effectively and ultimately win the business.

This is a highly relationship-driven sales role involving regular telephone and video conversations with customers and decision-makers.

You'll be expected to build trust quickly, identify buying motivations, create urgency and confidently ask for the business.

Full product and technical training will be provided.

What matters is your ability to sell.

ARE YOU A HUNTER?

We're looking for someone who is:

• Commercially hungry and motivated by winning
• Confident speaking with decision-makers
• Naturally proactive and persistent
• Target-driven and competitive
• Comfortable managing a sales pipeline
• Strong at building rapport and commercial relationships
• Resilient when faced with objections
• Motivated by uncapped earning potential
• Confident negotiating and closing
• Energised by new business rather than maintaining the status quo

You'll ideally have experience in B2B sales, business development, recruitment, telesales, account management or another target-driven commercial environment.

However, we're more interested in your sales mentality and track record of winning than a particular job title.

If you're someone who enjoys the thrill of turning an opportunity into a customer, you'll fit right in.

THIS ISN'T AN ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT ROLE

We're looking for a genuine new business hunter.

Someone who enjoys:

Opportunity → Conversation → Relationship → Negotiation → Close → Revenue

You'll have qualified opportunities coming into the business, but it's your responsibility to maximise them.

The more you convert, the more you earn.

WHY JOIN?

This is an opportunity to join a growing commercial environment where sales performance is recognised and rewarded.

You'll have:

Qualified opportunities.
Professional support.
Dedicated PA resource.
Full training.
£74K OTE.
Career progression.

All you need to bring is the ambition, energy and hunger to win.

If you're an experienced salesperson who wants to spend less time on administration and more time having commercial conversations, closing deals and earning money, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today.
