About Biglight

AtBiglight, we help ambitious organisations transform their customer experiences and unlock real growth. 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.
  • Run the show on the day and gather feedback afterwards so we can make the next one even better.
Internal communications
  • Write and send the Biglight Bulletin - our internal newsletter that keeps everyone connected.
  • Co ordinate the Biglight Broadcast - our monthly all hands meeting - managing the host rota and agenda.
What we're looking for
  • You're commercially minded - you understand what makes businesses tick and can spot a good opportunity.
  • You enjoy the business development side of your role: meeting people, staying in touch and turning early conversations into lasting relationships.
  • You're hands on and proactive. 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.
  • Hands on experience with Lead Gen and CRM tools like Apollo AI and HubSpot and a strong working knowledge of LinkedIn.
  • A solid understanding of SEO basics and how to optimise content effectively.
  • The ability to create simple, professional marketing materials when needed.
  • Highly organised, proactive, and comfortable working independently.
  • Results focused with a desire to track and improve on what you do.
  • It's helpful to have a basic understanding of how B2B and B2C digital experiences differ, particularly in the context of transformation and customer experience.
  • Experience with events (internal or external) or internal comms is a bonus, but we're really looking for someone who can fit in well with our team.

  • Enhanced maternity/paternity pay
  • Access to Perkbox employee benefits platform
  • Hybrid office/home working
  • Regular business updates and company socials
  • Opportunities for professional growth and career development
