Business Development Manager

We're a family-run, dynamic, fast-growing flexible packaging business looking for a Business Development Manager with a genuine hunter instinct and the technical grit to back it up.

This is a real opportunity to build something rewarding with long term career potential.  You'll have the opportunity to become a key member of the team, reporting to a Director, and a clear path to significant earnings as you grow the business as part of the team.  Ideally you'll bring experience from the flexible packaging industry — but a strong technical sales ability and a good fit to our company values matter more than a perfect sector match.

The Role

This is a technical, value-based sale — you'll be trusted to run your own patch, sourcing your own opportunities, building your own pipeline, and getting stuck into the technical detail that turns a conversation into a won account. The role is focused on quality relationships over quick wins, building influence as high up the customer as possible. It's a role that rewards genuine craft and patience with real, tangible results.

You'll thrive here if:

• You've got technical sales experience — with the hunger of someone starting out

• You enjoy solving real technical problems for customers, not just having the conversation

• You're self-sufficient, tenacious, and comfortable building your own pipeline from scratch

• You value trust and relationships over corporate process, and want real opportunities in a close-knit team

• You're motivated by seeing your effort reflected directly in what you earn

What's in it for you:

• Competitive basic salary, company car, phone and laptop

• A strong bonus/commission scheme with uncapped performance based earning potential

• Reporting directly to a Director and an opportunity to influence how your sector grows

• A fast-growing, family-run business where your contribution is seen and valued

• Based near Shepshed in the office up-to 2-3 a week, but with the main focus being to spend time visiting clients across the UK

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
