JP provides accountancy, VAT and compliance services to businesses, including international and e-commerce clients. We are looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to establish our dedicated sales function and help grow our client base.
This is a hands-on opportunity to win new business, build relationships and develop a practical sales approach. You will initially lead sales activity yourself, with the opportunity to recruit and manage a dedicated salesperson once the foundations are established.
What you will do
- Generate new business through cold outreach, networking, referrals and incoming enquiries.
- Manage the sales process from first contact through proposals, negotiation and closing.
- Attend exhibitions and develop relationships with accountancy firms, referral partners and prospective clients.
- Establish simple sales processes, pipeline tracking and reporting.
- Work with marketing colleagues and external providers to improve lead generation, with potential to take on responsibility for paid advertising.
- Coordinate smooth client handovers to our Account Management team.
- Help recruit, train and manage a salesperson as the function develops.
What we are looking for
- Confidence in prospecting, cold calling, presenting and closing.
- Experience developing or improving sales processes.
- Strong communication, organisation and relationship-building skills.
- A practical, proactive approach and the ability to work independently.
Experience in accountancy, tax, compliance or related professional services would be an advantage. Experience managing people or paid marketing would also be welcome.
What we offer
The opportunity to shape a new sales function, work closely with senior management and develop into a broader sales leadership role as the team grows.
