Job Description:

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
£base + unrivalled commission

Become part of an internationally recognised Group to help shape the next generation of packaging sales in the UK.

This is not a "smile and dial" sales role. It is a strategic business development position focused on high-quality, long-term customer growth.

You'll be joining a long-established business who are actively modernising the sector through technology, innovation and ambitious commercial leadership who are focused on accelerating growth and market share.

The opportunity:

• Manage and convert a steady flow of qualified inbound opportunities
• Build strategic relationships with brand owners and decision-makers
• Develop a high-value sales pipeline across Food, FMCG, Retail and Premium Packaging
• Work alongside a fast-moving commercial team already delivering strong growth
• Sell genuinely market-leading packaging capability and print technology

Why this role stands out:

• Extensive warm, qualified leads per day entering the business
• Unique market capability
• Backed by international manufacturing operations in Europe
• Long-term earning potential with uncapped commission
• Opportunity to build meaningful accounts rather than chase low-margin volumn

Who we want:

• A commercially sharp BDM with a modern approach to winning business
• Someone energetic, curious and proactive
• Packaging or print experience is helpful, but mindset matters more
• Strong Account Managers looking to step into new business will also be considered
• Comfortable managing longer sales cycles and strategic opportunities

If you want to join a business genuinely evolving its industry - and be part of building its next phase of growth, we'd like to speak with you.
