Birmingham | Hybrid (1–2 Days Office Based)
£75,000 - £85,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Eaton Syalon are delighted to be exclusively supporting a highly respected and ambitious professional services organisation in the appointment of a Business Development Director.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Business Development professional to take ownership of the growth strategy for a key regional office, working closely with senior leadership to drive new business, strengthen market presence and build long-term client relationships across the West Midlands.

The Role
As Business Development Director, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering the commercial growth strategy for the Birmingham office.
Working alongside Partners and Directors, you'll identify opportunities, build strategic relationships and help generate sustainable business growth across a range of professional service offerings. Supported by an established marketing team, you'll have the autonomy to develop your own approach while ensuring a consistent pipeline of opportunities and maintaining a strong presence within the local business community.
