Are you a true new business hunter who thrives on opening doors, creating opportunities and winning strategic accounts? At evo, we're looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Strategic Business Development Manager to join our growing New Business team. This is a high-impact role focused on identifying, developing and securing new business with medium and large private sector organisations across the UK.
If you're someone who enjoys building relationships from scratch, filling your own pipeline and seeing the direct results of your efforts, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
This is not an account management role. You'll be responsible for generating opportunities from the ground up and managing the entire sales journey through to contract award and mobilisation.
You'll be:
- Identifying and targeting new private sector opportunities
- Prospecting through calls, email campaigns, LinkedIn and networking
- Building relationships with senior stakeholders and decision makers
- Converting activity into qualified meetings and sales opportunities
- Managing complex sales processes, tenders and negotiations
- Developing compelling commercial proposals and business cases
- Working closely with internal teams to ensure successful customer onboarding
