As our Business Development Manager your key responsibility is to grow our eCommerce fulfillment services in the UK. Reporting directly to the Sales Manager, you will form a crucial part of our current sales team. This is a new business focused role, so you will thrive on chasing the sale, but then be keen to pass the work to our customer delivery team and move onto the next prospect.

• Ensure we effectively market map our target customers and industries while maintaining CRM system information, so we know our metrics in terms of success.
• Develop and implement a sales strategy for your product/service.
• Oversee and manage any new business opportunities in your area.
• Stay updated on industry trends, competitor activities, sales performance and market trends.

Ultimately, you have already been a successful salesperson with a desire and drive to do more. You may have come from a logistics or fulfilment background, or work in food and beverage; maybe you have sold into these areas and have exposure to the right level of decision maker. Whatever your background, you are ready for your next step and to join a business that is experiencing rapid growth.

• Some exposure to eCommerce fulfillment, contract packing, beverages and an understanding of the types of contacts you need to generate business in this arena.
• Prolonged experience managing your own diary and prospecting defined markets with little or no supervision.
• The drive and desire to always be looking for the next sale; this role really suits someone who is always looking for the next deal.
• Experience generating your own business; you will need to prospect and generate your own business to be successful in this role.
• It would be ideal if you have worked in a contract manufacturing environment and have knowledge of how this service fits into the supply chain of health and beauty products; ultimately the right person with the right attitude and drive is the most important thing.
