Business Development Manager

Salary: £26,000 – £30,000 per year

Sky Recruitment Solutions (Industrial) are Derby’s fastest growing recruitment agency, and have just moved to brand new modern, city centre premises as part of our growth strategy (there is even free beer!).

We are in a position to expand our team in Derby, and have a role for a Business Development Manager (salary and bonus scheme negotiable dependant on experience).

This role is essentially focussed on winning, and developing, accounts in the Derby area including Castle Donington, Long Eaton, Burton, Swadlincote, Ashbourne and all areas within a 5 mile radius of Derby city centre.

However, what makes this role stand out are the prospects – options include helping to develop a business development function for the Sky Recruitment Solutions group of offices, assisting in day to day operational management, opening new offices, and share options in the business leading to full ownership!

An industrial recruitment background would be ideal, but isn’t essential, however knowledge of business in the geographical areas above is important (warehousing and distribution, manufacturing businesses, freight, FMCG etc.).

Key skills required include:

Business development/account management background

Experience in developing new leads, objection handling, and negotiation

People management/team building and operational organisation

Personal attributes:

‘Commitment to the cause’ – we are proud of what we have achieved, and the successful candidate must be able to represent this

Self motivated/driven personality

Lively personae/strong communication skills

Interviews for this role will take place immediately with the MD, David Torrington, with a view to starting as soon as possible – we do understand that a notice period may be required, and this wouldn’t be an issue for the right candidate.

All applications treated in strictest confidence.
