Business Development Executive

Milton Keynes · Full-time, Monday–Friday · Immediate availability preferred

A day in this role looks like this:

You walk into a conversation with someone who's never heard of the brand you're representing. Ten minutes later, they have — and they understand why it's worth their time. That's the job. Not cold-calling a script, not sitting behind a screen — real conversations, face-to-face, across B2B, B2C and event campaigns, where the outcome depends on how well you listen before you pitch.

Some days you're working a campaign for a brand most people already trust. Other days you're introducing one they've never encountered. Either way, the target's the same: understand what the customer actually needs, represent the client properly, and turn that conversation into a result.

Is this you?

• Are you commercially minded? You don't need a sales background — but you need to enjoy figuring out what makes people say yes.
• Can you start a conversation with a stranger and make it worth their time? That's the core skill. Everything else — product knowledge, objection handling, closing — we train.
• Do you take ownership without being chased? Targets here are real, and the people who do well are the ones who treat them as theirs, not something imposed.
• Have you done sales or BD before? Welcome, but not required. Full training and mentorship are built into the role from day one.

What it pays and how you grow

Earnings here are fully performance-based, paid weekly — OTE £28,000 - £32,000, uncapped. It's not a guaranteed salary; it reflects what you actually bring in, and top performers earn well beyond the OTE range. Alongside that: structured coaching, regular workshops, team recognition, incentives, and travel opportunities for strong performers.

OTE is an indication of potential earnings and is not guaranteed — actual earnings depend on individual results.

The basics

• Milton Keynes, full-time, Monday–Friday
