Business Development Manager in Manchester, Greater Manchester

Business Development Manager – Technology Solutions

£50,000–£75,000 Basic | Double OTE Potential (£100k–£150k) | Car Allowance + Benefits

Location: North of Birmingham | Home-Based / Field Sales

Good at selling? Ambitious? Feel like you could be earning a lot more? Acting as Account Manager as well as Sales?

We're working with an established, market-leading technology business looking for two ambitious Business Development Managers to join its growing commercial team.

This is an opportunity for someone who knows how to sell, enjoys winning business and wants to be properly rewarded for their success.

You'll have an established customer base to work with, innovative technology solutions to sell and the freedom to manage your own territory. No micromanagement, no unnecessary office attendance and no sitting around waiting for opportunities to land in your lap.

If you're currently performing well in a sales role but feel your earning potential has hit a ceiling, we'd particularly like to hear from you.

The Opportunity

You'll be selling a portfolio of technology-led solutions, combining hardware, software and managed platforms, primarily into local authorities and public-sector organisations.

This isn't simply about cold calling and chasing new logos. It's about building relationships, understanding customer challenges, growing existing accounts and convincing customers that your solutions are better than the competition.

You'll be joining a small, close-knit sales team where personality matters, ideas are welcomed and results are rewarded.

What You'll Be Doing

• Developing and growing relationships with existing and prospective customers across your territory.

• Identifying opportunities to introduce new products and solutions.

• Getting in front of decision-makers, challenging existing arrangements and winning business from competitors.

• Delivering product demonstrations, arranging trials and presenting compelling commercial proposals.

• Managing your own sales pipeline, customer relationships and territory.

• Using modern sales technology, CRM and AI-powered tools to work smarter and maximise opportunities.

• Working alongside a supportive, ambitious team that enjoys what it does.

What We're Looking For

First and foremost, we want someone who can sell.

You'll ideally bring:

• A proven track record in B2B sales, business development or account management.

• Experience selling technology-led solutions, ideally combining hardware and software, SaaS or managed platforms.

• The ability to develop accounts, influence decision-makers and close deals.

• A proactive, commercially hungry approach and a genuine desire to exceed targets.

• Confidence presenting solutions, handling objections and challenging customers constructively.

• An interest in technology and a willingness to embrace new tools, including AI.

• A positive, outgoing personality and the ability to build lasting relationships.

Experience selling into local authorities or the wider public sector would be a real advantage, but isn't essential.

You don't need to be a Sales Director or have 20 years' experience. You do need to demonstrate that you're good at what you do, enjoy winning and have the ambition to achieve considerably more.

What's In It For You?

• £50,000–£75,000 basic salary, depending on experience.

• OTE approximately double your basic salary, with significant earning potential.

• Car allowance and comprehensive benefits package.

• Predominantly home-based working, with full autonomy over your diary.

• Established customers and a strong portfolio of technology solutions.

• Access to AI-powered sales tools that help with proposals, presentations and administration.

• A supportive, sociable team with regular opportunities to get together.

• Genuine opportunity to make an impact and grow your career.

Interested?

If you're a successful salesperson who feels capable of achieving more, we'd love to hear from you.

You might be an ambitious Account Manager ready to step up, an established BDM looking for a bigger opportunity, or a technology salesperson who wants to be rewarded for the business they generate.

If you've got the ability, ambition and drive, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
