Business Development Executive

Exeter | Office-Based | Full-Time

£35,000 Base + Uncapped Commission + Additional bonus for new active accounts

A growing, UK Solar distribution business is hiring a commercially driven Business Development Executive to play a critical role in its next phase of growth. The right person will directly influence customer acquisition, repeat revenue and long-term commercial structure.

As one of the first commercial hires, you’ll have real influence, meaningful autonomy, and the chance to build something from the ground up — with strong long-term progression as the business grows.

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact, new-business-focused role within a scaling environment.

You will be responsible for:

• Identifying and securing new B2B solar customers
• Building pipeline from scratch through proactive outreach
• Converting first orders into repeat, long-term accounts
• Managing pricing and commercial conversations
• Protecting margin while driving revenue
• Helping shape structure, process and sales cadence as the business grows

Why This Role Is Different

• One of the early commercial hires
• Direct exposure to founder-level decision-making
• Visible impact on revenue growth
• Autonomy and ownership
• Opportunity to help build structure from the ground up

What We’re Looking For

• Proven B2B solar sales or business development experience
• Confidence generating new business through outbound activity
• Strong commercial awareness
• Structured approach to pipeline management
• Self-motivated and accountable
• Comfortable operating in a scaling, fast-paced business

This role suits someone who:

• Proactive, high-integrity and committed to delivering high standard of customer support
• Is motivated by growth and performance
• Thrives in early-stage environments
• Is comfortable being measured on results

If you want to play a visible role in scaling a growing business, and be rewarded accordingly, we would like to hear from you.
