📍 Bristol, UK
📅 Full-time Permanent
💰 Salary: Up to GBP50,000 basic plus OTE
🏢 Hybrid working: 2 days in the office per week
I am working with a creative software company in Bristol that are looking for a Business Development Manager to join the team.
They sell SaaS solutions and are looking for someone who can be involved throughout the entire BID lifecycle, including involvement with BID writing.
The Role
I am working with a client in Bristol who are looking for a passionate and driven Business Development Manager to join their sales team. You will be responsible for securing new business opportunities, selling SaaS solutions that deliver real returns for clients. This role is a mix of new and existing business.
Most of the pipeline comes from leads, and outreach does not involve cold calling, but rather contacting prospective opportunities and closing business with clients that have shown an interest in services.
You will have access to a database of prospects to chase, and you will also attend industry events once or twice per quarter.
You should have experience working with cross-functional team members, with the ability to speak to technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will have worked with software teams, and associated staff in order to properly put BIDs or proposals together.
