Junior Business Development Manager - HOME BASED

Junior Business Development Manager
Location: UK (Home Based)
Reporting to: Operations Director

About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious and commercially driven Junior Business Development Manager to join a growing international business operating within the payments and fintech industry.

The business works with organisations across the UK, Middle East (UAE) and US, providing opportunities to develop relationships with some of the most influential companies across the financial services and technology sectors.

This is a hands-on sales role, focused on generating new business, developing client relationships and converting opportunities into revenue. We are looking for someone with a genuine sales instinct who is confident picking up the phone, engaging decision-makers, negotiating and closing deals.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their sales career who already has a proven ability to sell and wants to develop within an fast growing global business.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate new business opportunities through proactive outbound calling, email, LinkedIn and networking.
• Identify and approach prospective sponsors, partners and clients across the payments and fintech sectors.
• Promote commercial opportunities, sponsorship packages and event participation.
• Manage the full sales process, from initial prospecting and relationship building through to negotiation and closing.
• Convert qualified opportunities into paying customers and deliver against agreed revenue targets.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with new and existing clients.
• Develop and manage a healthy sales pipeline using HubSpot or similar CRM software.
• Follow up consistently with prospects, progressing opportunities and overcoming objections.
• Work closely with the Operations Director and wider team to identify new commercial opportunities.
• Represent the business professionally at meetings, networking events and industry gatherings.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in a sales or business development role, ideally within events, media, fintech or financial services.
• A proven ability to win new business and close deals, not simply generate leads.
• Confident telephone sales and negotiation skills.
• A proactive hunter mentality, with the drive to create opportunities rather than wait for them.
• Commercial awareness and the confidence to discuss pricing and negotiate.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Experience using a CRM system such as HubSpot or Salesforce.
• Highly target-driven, organised and motivated by earning new business.
• Comfortable working independently in a home-based environment.

The Right Personality

We are looking for someone with energy, ambition and a natural ability to sell. They should be confident approaching new people, comfortable having commercial conversations and persistent enough to turn initial interest into a successful sale.

You may be relatively early in your career, but you must have the confidence and ability to take ownership of the sales process and close business.

Why Join?

This is a fantastic opportunity to build a career within the international payments and fintech sector, working with an established and respected business across three key markets.

You'll gain exposure to senior decision-makers across banks, fintechs, payment networks and technology providers, with the opportunity to develop your commercial skills, take ownership of revenue generation and progress your career as the business grows.
