Strategic Business Development Manager (New Markets & New Business)

Location: UK (Flexible)

Package: £55,000 - £70,000 + Bonus, Company Car and other benefits

Elevation Recruitment are excited to be the retainer partner to Oilgear in their hunt for a strategic, commercially sharp Business Development Manager whose primary mission is simple:
win new business and open new markets
.

This is not an account management or “farm the existing customers” role. It is a hunting role focused on:

• Identifying new sectors, new customers, and new opportunities
• Opening doors that aren’t currently open
• Turning cold prospects into long-term strategic clients
• Building a strong, sustainable pipeline of high-value opportunities

You’ll work closely with senior leadership and technical teams to shape go-to-market strategy
, target priority industries, and position their capabilities in new markets.

• A role with real influence on company growth strategy
• Backing from a strong technical and delivery team
• Freedom to shape markets rather than just service them
• A Global business that is genuinely investing in growth!

• Proven track record in new business sales / business development (ideally in engineering, industrial, fluid power or adjacent)
• A hunter mindset – you enjoy opening doors, creating opportunities, and winning new logos
• Comfortable selling high-value, technical or consultative solutions
• Strong strategic thinking: you can spot market opportunities, not just respond to enquiries
• Confident, credible, and able to operate at senior decision‑maker level
• Self‑motivated, driven, and highly accountable for results
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and commercial skills
