Business Development Trainee

Liverpool | Full-Time | Entry Level

Start Your Career. Build Relationships. Create Opportunities.

Looking for an entry-level role where you can meet customers, develop real business skills, and build a career with progression?

Join our growing team in Liverpool as a Business Development Trainee. This is a customer-facing role, so you'll be involved in customer interactions and relationship building as part of your day-to-day work.

You'll receive full training from the start while gaining practical experience in business development, sales, customer engagement, and commercial operations. As you develop, you'll have opportunities to take on greater responsibility and progress into Business Development Executive, Account Manager, Team Leader, and Management positions.

Your Responsibilities

• Interact with customers and clients as part of your daily activities.
• Build professional relationships and understand customer requirements.
• Support customer acquisition and business development activities.
• Identify potential opportunities through customer conversations and market research.
• Present products and services clearly and professionally.
• Follow up with prospective customers and support the sales process.
• Work alongside sales and marketing teams to support business growth.
• Maintain accurate customer and prospect information.
• Contribute ideas to improve customer engagement and business performance.
• Take on additional responsibilities as your skills and confidence develop.

We're Looking For Someone Who Is

• Confident and comfortable speaking with customers.
• Friendly, professional, and naturally people-focused.
• Ambitious and motivated to build a commercial career.
• Positive, reliable, and eager to learn.
• Organised with strong communication skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment.
• A strong team player who enjoys meeting new people.
• Motivated by personal development and career progression.

No previous experience is required. Experience in sales, customer service, retail, hospitality, marketing, or other customer-facing roles is beneficial but not essential, as full training will be provided.

What You'll Receive

• Competitive base salary plus performance-based bonuses.
• Full business development and customer engagement training.
• Hands-on experience from day one.
• Ongoing coaching and mentoring.
• Clear career progression opportunities.
• Leadership development opportunities.
• Recognition and reward programmes.
• A supportive, collaborative, and inclusive working environment.

Why Join Us?

This is a starting point, not a dead-end entry-level job.

You'll be involved in real customer conversations, develop commercial confidence, and learn how businesses build strong customer relationships. With structured training and increasing responsibility, you'll have the opportunity to turn your first role into a long-term career in business development, sales, account management, or leadership.
