The Opportunity
We're looking for an ambitious and commercially driven National Business Development Manager to identify, develop and secure high-value outsourcing contracts across the UK manufacturing and industrial sectors. This is a true hunter role, focused on generating new business rather than managing existing accounts. You'll engage with senior decision-makers, uncover complex customer challenges and develop tailored outsourcing solutions that deliver long-term value. If you enjoy building strategic relationships, navigating complex sales cycles and winning transformational contracts, this is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, develop and secure new outsourcing opportunities across target manufacturing and industrial sectors.
- Generate and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities through proactive business development.
- Build relationships with senior stakeholders including Plant Managers, Engineering Managers, Procurement Directors, Operations Directors and C-Suite executives.
- Lead complex consultative sales processes from initial engagement through to contract award.
- Understand customer challenges and develop tailored outsourced service solutions that create measurable value.
- Coordinate technical, operational and commercial teams throughout the bid and proposal process.
- Deliver presentations, facilitate customer workshops and negotiate long-term commercial agreements.
- Maintain accurate sales forecasting, CRM records and strategic account plans before successfully transitioning won contracts into operational delivery.
