Senior Business Development Manager, Industrial & Commercial Utilities
UK-wide | Home-based with client site travel | Uncapped commission (OTE £100k+) | Car allowance
About our client
I'm recruiting for a UK utilities and energy services business that helps organisations cut energy costs, carbon and complexity. Following continued growth, they're expanding their commercial team and need a seasoned hunter to win major Industrial & Commercial (I&C) clients.
The opportunity
A senior new business role selling my client's Utility Management services: procurement, bill validation, management, data analysis and metering operations. You'll own the full sales cycle, from prospecting through to close and handover, leading complex, high-value deals with senior decision-makers and board-level stakeholders, with support from a dedicated lead generation and marketing team and technical experts.
Reporting to the Head of New Business, you'll work remotely with flexibility on location, but you'll be comfortable travelling to client sites and industry events as needed.
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.
