We're a close-knit, driven team that cares about doing great work - and we're re growing fast. What you'll do Building Relationships Help identify which sectors and accounts we should focus on. Support early research by identifying priority sectors, events and trade shows where we can gather insight to inform our outreach. Spot opportunities to reach out - when a prospect moves jobs, a company announces news, or there's a sector development worth talking about. Create the materials we need - one pagers, case studies, and email templates that stand out and add value. Start conversations over email that feel personal and relevant. Pipeline management & reporting Keep our CRM tidy and up to date - log conversations, track who we're talking to, and what's been said. Build and maintain our contact lists. Research prospects so we're well prepared for meetings. Let your manager know when someone's warming up or there's a real opportunity. Keep an eye on what's working - are people responding? Are we getting meetings? Track response rates, relationship progression, and meetings booked. Content & Marketing Work with people across Biglight to gather updates, stories, and content. Support social media and marketing campaigns - jump in on marketing projects and help bring them to life. Events - External (Business Development) Support our presence at conferences by creating event materials and assisting with event communications. Attend events - take photos, help manage materials, and support the team on the day. Track event leads and ensure timely follow up. Events - Internal (Team Engagement) You'll own our two big team events each year - Christmas and Summer parties. Find great venues, get quotes, negotiate with suppliers, and own the delivery. Manage budgets carefully and keep your manager informed throughout. Write and send all event communications - save the dates, invitations, reminders.

You bring ideas forward, turn them into action and deliver the work with pace and care. You can write - whether it's a prospect email, a social post, or the team newsletter, you know how to make words work. You manage your workload well, juggling multiple priorities while staying flexible and responsive to what's needed. You're comfortable with tech - you can pick up tools like HubSpot, LinkedIn, Figma, and whatever else we throw at you. You're a genuine team player. You collaborate well, support others and help create a positive, productive atmosphere wherever you work. Experience we'd love to see 3-4 years in business development, or a relationship focused role - ideally in a consultancy, agency, or B2B environment. A track record of building and sustaining relationships with clients or prospects over time. Confident writing skills across a range of formats and audiences.
