Business Development Manager

At Paul Card Recruitment, we've built a strong reputation across the North East finance community. We have long-standing relationships with clients, an extensive network of finance professionals and a team that delivers exceptional recruitment services.

Like most successful recruitment businesses, our consultants have always played an active role in developing business and building client relationships. However, as we've grown, we've recognised that generating new opportunities needs a more consistent and dedicated focus.

That's why we're creating this role.

We're looking for an experienced Business Development Manager with a proven track record in a business-to-business sales environment to help drive the next stage of growth for the business.

Part of the role will focus on opportunities within markets where we're already established and well known. Alongside that, you'll play a key role in helping us develop a new niche sales channel across the North of England.

This is an opportunity to work directly with the Managing Director and take ownership of business development within an established and respected business.

We're not looking for someone to follow a rigid script or inherit a heavily structured sales process. We're looking for somebody with the experience, judgement and confidence to develop relationships, identify opportunities and help shape how business development is approached moving forward.

You'll be joining a business with a clear vision, a strong reputation and a genuine appetite to invest in growth.

We're looking for somebody with a proven track record in a business-to-business sales environment.

Recruitment experience would be helpful, but it isn't essential.

What's more important is experience of generating new business, building relationships and successfully selling in a business-to-business environment.

You'll be comfortable speaking with senior decision-makers, managing your own performance and developing opportunities over time.

Most importantly, you'll enjoy business development. We're looking for somebody who is naturally curious, commercially minded and motivated by creating opportunities rather than simply maintaining existing relationships.

• £45,000 basic salary
• Bonus scheme
• 33 days annual leave, increasing with service to 38 days
• Private healthcare through Vitality
• Health Shield cash plan
• Sabbatical opportunity every five years
• Flexible and hybrid working
• Direct access to the Managing Director
• The opportunity to influence the future direction of the business
