Business Development Manager - Aerospace

\n

Buckinghamshire | Field Based | £50,000+ DOE + 15% Bonus + Company Car

\n

We're recruiting for a Business Development Manager to join a well-established and growing business, taking a key role in developing sales within the aerospace market.

\n

This is a predominantly field-based role focused on winning new business, developing existing customer relationships and building a strong sales pipeline.

\n

We're particularly interested in speaking to people with experience within aerospace or fasteners. Ideally you'll bring both, but this isn't essential - strong aerospace sales experience with another product, or fastener sales experience within another industry, could work equally well.

\n
• Managing and developing existing customer relationships
\n
• Building and maintaining a strong sales pipeline
\n
• Regularly meeting customers face-to-face across your territory
\n
• Working towards sales, turnover and gross margin targets
\n
• Working closely with internal sales and wider teams to develop opportunities
\n
• Providing market and customer insight to support future growth
\n
• Promoting the business and its capabilities through customer visits, networking and industry activity
\n
• Supporting presentations and proposals to prospective and existing customers
\n

\n

About You

\n

\n

\n
• A strong new business mindset with the drive to identify and convert opportunities
\n
• Commercially aware and comfortable working to sales and profitability targets
\n
• Confident building relationships with customers and key decision-makers
\n
• Proactive, organised and comfortable managing your own diary and customer activity
\n

\n
• Full UK driving licence
\n
