Business Development Manager
£40,000–£45,000 + annual bonus | West Sussex | Hybrid
Our client is looking for a Business Development Manager to help grow their business with installers.
About the company
Our client has been working within the connected entry sector for over 30 years. They design and build intercom and access solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
They work closely with installers and understand that what matters isn't simply the product. It's having the right information, knowing who to speak to when something needs answering, and having a supplier that understands the work they do.
That's the approach they want this role to bring to their customers.
The role
The role is based from their West Sussex office, with regular attendance for meetings, alongside customer visits, trade shows, and occasional overnight travel.
