Business Development Director
Richmond, London
Expected year 1 OTE ~ £120,000
Defined path to Sales Director South within 12 months
There’s a real buzz to winning a client you know you can help. You get beneath the brief, spot what’s holding their growth back and turn a first conversation into a partnership. If that’s the part of your work you love most, we’d like to meet you.
At Furza, we help growing businesses and those backed by private equity build sales teams that perform. Our Academy, Talent, Training and Advisory services give you more than one way to solve a client’s challenge, whether they need new talent, stronger skills or a clearer commercial strategy.
We’re growing our own commercial team, and you’ll play a big part in what it becomes. You’ll win business, grow client relationships and coach two Business Development Managers or Executives. You’ll work directly with the Group Sales Director and have the opportunity to shape how Furza grows across the South.
What you’ll do
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Start conversations with founders, CEOs and commercial leaders, find out what their businesses need and bring together the right Furza services.
- Own your opportunities from first meeting to signed deal, then work closely with our delivery teams to make sure we deliver what was promised.
- Stay close to existing clients, spot new ways to help them and coach your team to have better conversations and build a stronger pipeline.
- Own your number and keep your forecasts clear, but have the freedom to bring your ideas to how we sell.
Could this be your next move?
This role could suit you if you’re a recruiter who loves winning and growing client accounts but is ready to step away from candidate management. It could also suit you if you’re a BDM selling professional services and want a more varied proposition and a bigger leadership opportunity.
You’ll have a strong record in consultative B2B sales, feel comfortable talking to senior decision makers and enjoy helping others improve. We value people who put the client first, think ahead and follow through, especially when a deal takes work to get right.

Where it can take you
We have a defined path for this role to become Sales Director South within 12 months, subject to agreed revenue and leadership goals. You would take ownership of the region’s commercial performance and build a team planned to grow to six or more people.
This is a permanent, full-time role based at our Boutique Workplace Richmond office. You’ll need to be able to commute to Richmond and expect to be in the office most days. Flexible working is available after probation.
If you’re excited by the chance to win clients, build a team and earn your next step, we’d love to hear from you.
At Furza, we’re committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences. If there’s anything we can do to support you during the process, please let us know, we’d be happy to help.
