Head of Business Development

Salary up to £100K plus commission - Hybrid working London HQ Have you successfully built new business pipelines and led high-performing sales teams selling data intelligence, prospect data or data quality solutions into enterprise organisations? We're working exclusively with an established private equity backed data intelligence consultancy of around 150 employees to appoint an experienced Head of New Business during an exciting period of commercial growth.

Our client helps some of the UK's best-known consumer brands unlock greater commercial value through data, insight and consultancy, and is now investing in strengthening its new business function. This is an outstanding opportunity to lead a successful team while developing the next phase of the company's growth strategy across multiple industry sectors. You'll lead a team of four Business Development professionals, taking ownership of both individual and team revenue targets while coaching, mentoring and developing future commercial talent.

Working closely with marketing and senior leadership, you'll shape sector-based propositions, execute account-based sales strategies and engage senior decision makers across Utilities, Telecommunications, Retail, Financial Services, Insurance, Water and other consumer-facing markets. This is a highly strategic sales leadership role where you'll combine hands-on business development with leadership, proposition development and commercial planning. Success will be measured through sustainable pipeline generation, enterprise client acquisition and the continued development of a high-performing sales culture.

We're looking for an experienced sales leader with a proven background selling data intelligence, prospect data, demographic data enhancement or data quality solutions into enterprise customers. You'll have a track record of exceeding new business targets, developing commercial strategies and leading successful sales teams, ideally within a consultative data or information services environment. You'll be equally comfortable engaging C-suite stakeholders as you are coaching individuals to improve performance and win complex opportunities.

Experience operating within structured account-based selling environments and managing long sales cycles will be highly advantageous. You'll be joining a collaborative, ambitious organisation that combines the pace of a growing private equity backed business with the stability of an established market leader. The role offers genuine scope to influence commercial strategy, develop your leadership career and play a key role in shaping the future growth of the business.

The package includes a £100,000 basic salary, £50,000 uncapped OTE, comprehensive benefits and hybrid working with a minimum of two days each week from the London headquarters. To find out more about this opportunity and receive a confidential briefing, apply now.
