Business Development Manager - Technology & Talent Solutions

Leeds City Centre - Hybrid

Up to £60,000 basic + realistic £80,000 - £100,000 OTE, uncapped

Spend your time winning and developing clients, with an established recruitment team behind you to deliver the work you create.

Earn ongoing commission from business you've originated.

Take recruitment, technology consultancy and leadership solutions to market, giving you more ways to open and grow client relationships.

And do it within an established £5m+ founder-led business where you'll work directly with the owners and have genuine freedom to shape what you build.

I'm working with a profitable technology recruitment and consultancy business in Leeds that's looking for someone to focus on new business and client development.

This could suit a strong 360 recruiter who loves winning clients but wants to spend less time filling their own vacancies. Equally, you might already work in dedicated BD, technology consultancy, talent solutions or another closely related professional-services environment.

The opportunity

Your focus will be opening and developing client relationships, with established recruitment and delivery capability behind you.

You'll have three propositions to take to market:

• Technology recruitment
• Consultancy and project-based solutions
• Leadership and coaching programmes

You'll identify target organisations, create conversations with senior decision-makers, get out to meet clients and develop opportunities through to commercial agreement.

This is proper hands-on BD. Intelligent research matters but so does picking up the phone, creating meetings and turning conversations into revenue.

Who could fit?

You might be:

• A Senior/Principal Recruiter strongest at winning business
• A recruitment BDM, Client Development Manager or Account Director
• Selling technology consultancy, project teams or talent solutions
• Selling RPO/MSP or closely related people-led professional services

Your title matters less than your track record. You'll need evidence that you've personally opened new accounts, secured senior-level meetings and converted opportunities into paying clients.

What you'll get

• Up to £60,000 basic
• Realistic £80,000-£100,000 OTE
• Uncapped 10-15% commission on business generated
• Additional bonus opportunity
• Ongoing commission opportunity on business you've originated
• Established delivery capability behind you
• Direct access to the founders
• Autonomy over how you develop your market
• Leeds city-centre hybrid working
• Scope for the role to grow as the business develops

If you're good at creating new business but feel you could achieve more with greater autonomy, more to take to market and a delivery team behind you, I'd be interested in speaking confidentially.
