Business Development Director (B2B Hunter)
Location: London or Stoke-on-Trent (Flexible Remote)
Role Type: Full-time, Individual Contributor
About the Company
Our client is a practitioner-led professional services consultancy specializing in operational excellence. We help high-stakes organizations-including Tier 1 & 2 banks, utilities, gambling, and hospitality firms-"fix the unfixable" by analyzing operational policies and deploying expert workforces to deliver tangible, measurable ROI.
They are currently in a high-growth phase with a five-year plan to scale from £15m to £40m in revenue. To achieve this, they are moving away from relationship-led organic growth and hiring our first-ever dedicated "hunter" sales team.
The Role
This is a high-impact, "counter-culture" sales role. We are not looking for a traditional relationship manager or an account farmer; we need a relentless Business Development Hunter to spearhead new business acquisition. You will have complete ownership of the sales cycle, targeting C-suite stakeholders and decision-makers across our core sectors.
Key Responsibilities
- New Business Acquisition: Identify, prospect, and close high-value B2B deals within Financial Services, Utilities, Construction, Hospitality, and Gambling.
- Networking & Fronting: Be the face of the organization at industry events and client meetings. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit behind a laptop all day.
- Strategic Growth: Contribute to our mission of scaling revenue to £40m by delivering consistent, high-impact sales results.
- Commercial Ownership: Take full accountability for your sales numbers and pipeline, with the potential to grow into a Commercial Director role as the team expands.
Requirements
- Experience: A minimum of 5 years of proven B2B new business sales (hunting) experience.
- Sector Expertise: A demonstrable track record and an existing network within professional services, recruitment, consultancy, or fintech.
- The "Killer" Mentality: We need someone with a "hunter" or "killer" mindset-someone who is competitive, cocky about their numbers, and hungry to "rinse" the market opportunity.
- Service-Led Sales: Experience selling complex services or workforce augmentation solutions rather than physical hardware or products.
- Autonomy: The ability to work without a pre-existing sales structure and build your own path to success.
What We Offer
- Unrivaled Earning Potential: A truly uncapped commission structure paying 10% of GP. Their top earner took home over £400,000 last year.
- Hybrid Flexibility: While they have offices in London and Stoke, they offer significant working-from-home flexibility, provided you are out networking and meeting clients.
- Career Trajectory: As one of the first pure sales hires, you have a direct path to senior leadership and Commercial Director status.
High-Stakes Projects: Work with massive organizations (e.g., Starling Bank) where our consultants make up a significant portion of their workforce.
