Senior Business Development Manager

Senior Business Development Manager

Technical Solutions | National Role | £55,000–£65,000 + Bonus + Car Allowance + Excellent Benefits

Selling value, not price? Building strategic relationships instead of chasing transactions? This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're partnering with an established and rapidly growing technical solutions provider that's investing heavily in its commercial team. They're looking for an experienced Senior Business Development Manager to lead growth across the UK, developing major accounts while identifying new opportunities within a specialist engineering and compliance-led market.

Whilst experience within fire suppression would be advantageous, we're equally keen to hear from high-performing sales professionals from sectors such as:

  • Fire & Life Safety
  • Electronic Security
  • HVAC
  • Building Services
  • M&E
  • Facilities Management
  • Industrial Automation
  • Technical Engineering Solutions
  • Compliance Services
  • Access Control & Entrance Systems
  • Industrial Equipment & Capital Projects

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

If you're used to selling complex technical solutions into FM providers, contractors, consultants, end users or OEMs, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity:

This isn't a "hit the phones" sales role. It's about building long-term partnerships, identifying commercial opportunities, and becoming a trusted advisor to your customers.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Developing strategic relationships with Facilities Management providers, OEMs, and major national accounts.
  • Identifying and securing new business opportunities across service, maintenance, and engineered solutions.
  • Managing the complete sales process from initial engagement through to negotiation and contract award.
  • Growing existing accounts whilst opening new markets.
  • Working closely with senior leadership to influence commercial strategy.
  • Representing a respected brand within a specialist, high-growth sector.

We're Looking For Someone Who...

  • Has a proven track record in technical B2B sales.
  • Understands specification-led or solution-based selling.
  • Has experience winning business with FM companies, contractors, consultants, or industrial customers.
  • Is commercially astute and confident negotiating six-figure opportunities.
  • Builds relationships naturally and enjoys opening doors.
  • Wants the autonomy to genuinely influence business growth.

  • Pension and comprehensive benefits package
  • National remit with genuine autonomy
  • The opportunity to become a key member of a growing commercial leadership team
  • A supportive business where your ideas and successes are recognised

Location:

National field-based role with UK travel. A central UK location is preferred to provide good national coverage.

If you're looking for your next challenge within technical sales and want to join a business that's genuinely investing in growth, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.
