Business Development Manager– What’s The Role?

Reporting directly in to our Managing Director, you’ll be our sales lead, responsible for identifying and approaching businesses that would benefit from our suite of services, whether that’s our recruitment advertising campaigns, our alternative to a traditional recruitment agency approach or even a bespoke headhunting project.

You will identify and introduce yourself to key decision makers within businesses, understanding their unique recruitment challenges and assessing whether they have a requirement for our support. You’ll then build a solution that will add value, introducing the benefits to the customer and close the deal.

Once closed, you’ll then liaise with our Client Success team to ensure the customer is onboarded effectively, following up to ensure each account is developed, maximising upsell and cross sell opportunities for Hiring Wizard and the wider group.

You’ll show creativity and dynamism, exploring new ways to reach decision makers via phone, email and social media. You’ll be well spoken and confident, able to hold your own in a conversation with CEO’s, business directors and heads of department.

Ideally, you’ll have knowledge of the digital advertising and / or recruitment industries and you’ll be able to put together benefits led proposals.
