Business Development Manager

Climate17 is proud to be working with a growing, Dorset based business who work with clients from a range of sectors to help them scale their businesses sustainably and to innovate and they’re now looking to add to their Team and recruit a Business Development Manager. Their clients operate in a number of sectors, including construction, marine, agriculture and environment and the portfolio is expanding all the time.

As a BDM, you will be allocated a number of accounts and it will be your responsibility to get to know these businesses well, find out what their growth strategy is and then connect them with larger organisations to help them scale.  You’ll be responsible for developing long term relationships with the clients and then you’ll be almost an extension of them when approaching businesses on their behalf. As such, you will have excellent client management skills and be comfortable calling new businesses, some of whom you won’t have spoken to before. As such, your aptitude for sales and business development will be well developed and you’ll be able to adapt your language according to the audience.

In return, you’ll be joining a company with a strong team culture and you’ll be working with clients who have solid roots in the environment and sustainability space so if you have an interest in the environment field, that will be advantageous. You will also need to be resilient, tenacious, ambitious, self-motivated and driven, as you’ll be working to targets and will have a number of KPI’s to meet (and hopefully exceed!)

Based in modern, standalone offices just outside Blandford – with beautiful countryside views – you will be joining a fantastic team of professionals who are all striving for the same thing, to support their clients to grow and achieve their sustainability goals. The Team work in the office four days a week and work from home on Fridays, and they organise a number of social events to further build the culture and sense of teamwork.

So, if you are looking to join a business who are genuinely making a positive difference and work with some amazing, innovative clients to help them achieve their goals, please contact Katie on katie@climate17.com to find out more.
