About the Role

We’re looking for a commercially sharp and consultative Business Development Manager to join a high-growth, founder-led organisation working with fast-growth software businesses.

This is a strategic, founder-facing role where you’ll identify high-potential companies, lead thoughtful outreach, and hold credible conversations with senior decision-makers about their growth and goals. You’ll combine research-led business development with genuine curiosity and commercial understanding- helping build long-term, trust-based relationships.

You’ll be joining a start-up environment with ambitious founders who are fully invested in setting you up for success. There’s a clear, achievable commission structure, the opportunity to travel, and strong potential for progression as the business scales.

• Leading high-quality outreach to founders and C-level executives via email, LinkedIn, and phone.
• Conducting intelligent, consultative conversations about business strategy, growth, and market positioning.
• Managing your outreach pipeline with precision, using CRM and outreach tools effectively.
• Collaborating with senior leadership to refine messaging and prioritise opportunities.
• Attending client meetings and industry events to strengthen relationships and brand presence.
• Feeding insights back into the business to inform future commercial strategy.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant experience in SaaS or finance industry business development.
• Strong understanding of commercial and financial drivers.
• Proven track record in outbound sales, lead generation, or consultative business development.
• Confident communicator with the ability to engage founders, CEOs, and investors.
• Curious, analytical, and naturally skilled at building rapport.
• Highly organised with disciplined follow-up and CRM management.
• Experience with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Why This Role?

• Remote-first (UK-based) with the flexibility to travel for meetings and events.
• High-trust, collaborative culture with founders committed to your success.
• Direct exposure to senior leaders and strategic decision-making.
• Strong progression opportunities as the business continues to grow.

If you’re commercially minded, curious about how great businesses grow, and thrive on building meaningful connections with founders and senior leaders- we’d love to hear from you.
