Business Development Manager

You’re on a Teams call with a client, uncovering how apprenticeships can support their growth. By the end of the conversation, you’ve mapped out a solution that helps them upskill their workforce and create new opportunities and you’ve just opened the door to a long-term partnership.

This is your chance to step into a senior sales role where you’ll manage the full cycle - from prospecting to closing - with the backing of a strong support team. You’ll be rewarded for results, trusted with client relationships, and given the space to shape your career in a sector that changes lives.

What’s on offer:

• £35,000 base salary + £15,000+ OTE
• Full training and support to refine your sales approach
• Clear career development with scope to grow further
• Office-based role in Leeds (37.5 hours, Mon–Fri)
• Recognition and rewards for high performance

In this role, you will be:

• Generating apprenticeship starts through proactive sales calls and online meetings
• Prospecting new employers and developing existing accounts
• Building strong client relationships and becoming a trusted advisor
• Managing the full sales cycle - from lead to onboarding
• Recording activity accurately in the CRM to track progress and outcomes

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• Experienced in sales or account management (2+ years)
• Confident working with B2B clients and decision-makers
• A clear communicator with strong influencing skills
• Organised, resilient, and motivated by results
• Curious, coachable, and eager to keep learning

Why you’ll love it here:

• Your work creates real impact, helping employers grow and creating new opportunities for learners
• You’ll be trusted to own relationships and close deals, not just “make calls”
• You’ll join a driven, supportive team where success is celebrated
• The apprenticeship sector is growing and so will your career
• You’ll work in an inclusive environment where development is a priority
