Business Development Manager
Salary: £50,000-£55,000 per annum + Uncapped Commission (Realistic OTE £80,000+)

The Opportunity
Pineapple Recruitment is partnering with a market leader in specialist schoolwear, bespoke teamwear, corporate clothing, and branded merchandise.
We are seeking a high-energy, field-based "hunter" to drive rapid account acquisition across England and Wales. This is not a long-cycle tender or bid management role—it is a fast-paced, direct sales position suited to a proactive salesperson who excels at opening doors, presenting physical samples, and closing deals.
Key Responsibilities
- Prospecting & Closing: Identify, target, and acquire new B2B accounts across schools, academies, colleges, sports clubs, and commercial enterprises.
- Field Territory Management: Spend the majority of your week on the road conducting face-to-face pitch meetings with decision-makers (Headteachers, School Business Managers, Operations Directors, and Club Chairmen).
- Pipeline Development: Build a high-volume sales pipeline from scratch and seamlessly hand off won accounts to the internal account management team.
- Product Ambassadorship: Deliver expert product demonstrations showcasing custom schoolwear, sportswear ranges, workwear, and bespoke branding capabilities.
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.
Skills & Experience Required
- Sales Track Record: Proven experience in fast-moving B2B product sales (schoolwear, textiles, corporate apparel, FMCG, or similar).
- Sector Knowledge: Prior experience selling directly into educational institutions or sports organisations is highly advantageous.
- Commercial Mindset: Target-driven with a strong desire to maximise earnings through uncapped commission.
- Self-Discipline: Able to effectively manage time, travel routes, and client appointments across a large geographical territory.
- Licence: A full UK driving licence is essential due to extensive field travel.
