Business Development Manager

Are you an experienced SaaS salesperson who wants more ownership, greater earning potential and the opportunity to help build a new business function?

An established UK software company is expanding its portfolio of AI-powered SaaS products and is looking for a driven Business Development Manager to lead new customer acquisition.

This is not a role where you'll simply inherit a list of existing accounts.

You'll build pipeline, open doors, lead sales conversations and close new SaaS customers-while helping shape the sales approach as the business grows.

The Opportunity

You'll sell a portfolio of AI-led software products to UK retailers.

The products can integrate into customers' existing technology, making them easier to adopt without a major systems replacement.

You'll be supported by quality prospect data, established sales tools, an external appointment-setting partner and experienced product specialists.

What You'll Be Doing

• Researching and targeting relevant UK accounts
• Building and managing your own outbound pipeline
• Qualifying inbound and partner-generated opportunities
• Engaging senior ecommerce, digital and commercial decision-makers
• Running product demonstrations and discovery meetings
• Preparing proposals and leading commercial negotiations
• Closing annual SaaS licence agreements

As you become established, you'll take full ownership of the new-business number and play an important role in how the commercial function develops.

About You

You'll ideally have:

• At least three years' experience in outbound B2B software or technology sales
• Experience researching accounts, building prospect lists and running outbound campaigns
• One to two years' experience carrying a closing target
• A track record of progressing software opportunities from initial contact through to signed agreement
• Confidence communicating with senior commercial and technical stakeholders

Experience in ecommerce, retail technology, martech, search, merchandising or related software would be advantageous but is not essential.

Package

• circa 55,000 basic salary
• Uncapped commission
• 80,000- 85,000 OTE at target
• Private medical cover
• Company pension

Location and Working Pattern

This is a hybrid position based in the Nottingham area.

Candidates must live within a reasonable commuting distance of Nottingham and be comfortable attending the office two days per week.

Take Ownership of Your Next Move

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys winning new business but also wants to influence strategy, improve the sales process and grow into a more senior commercial position.
