Job Description

We’re hiring a Business Development Manager to join our commercial team.

This is an inbound sales role focused on converting qualified leads into signed clients across the renewable energy sector. Leads come through paid media, referrals, partnerships, and founder visibility, this is not a cold-calling role.

We’re looking for somebody commercially confident, organised, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment. The right person should be able to manage conversations independently, close efficiently, and hand clients over cleanly into onboarding and delivery.

Our average sales cycle is around 2-3 weeks.

Long term, this role is intended to grow into a senior commercial position as the business expands across the UK and US.

What you’ll be doing

  • Managing inbound sales opportunities from qualification through to close
  • Running discovery and sales calls
  • Walking clients through proposals and contracts
  • Managing pipeline and CRM visibility
  • Coordinating handover into onboarding and delivery
  • Supporting improvements to sales process and structure
  • Contributing commercial feedback internally

What we’re looking for

  • 3-5 years’ experience in B2B sales, business development, or account executive roles
  • Experience selling high-ticket services or retainers
  • Background in digital marketing, paid media, lead generation, SaaS, agency, or similar preferred
  • Strong communication and commercial confidence
  • Comfortable working with shorter sales cycles and high lead volume
  • Organised, proactive, and operationally aware

We’re not looking for somebody who relies heavily on scripts or wants a heavily corporate environment. This role suits somebody who can move quickly, communicate clearly, and operate with a level of autonomy.

You should also be eager to contribute to professional visibility, including occasional LinkedIn content and external-facing communication.

Package

  • £35,000–£40,000 base salary
  • £65,000–£80,000+ OTE
  • Remote-first within the UK
  • One Manchester office day per month
  • Long-term progression opportunity into sales leadership
