Business & Client Development Executive

Business and Client Development Executive

Birmingham City Centre | Hybrid – 2 days in the office

We are recruiting for a fast-growing, technology-led business based in Birmingham city centre. This is a genuinely varied and visible position, working as the right hand to a high-energy Business Development Director and supporting the continued growth of an established sales division.

This is not a traditional sales administration role. You will become the operational hub of the team: keeping opportunities moving, coordinating customer activity and ensuring that follow-ups, proposals and contracts do not fall through the gaps.

You will also have the opportunity to become increasingly client-facing, contribute to new market development and shape the position around your strengths. For someone ambitious, there is a clear pathway into a more senior business development role.

Working closely with the Business Development Director and wider sales team, you will:

Take ownership of coordinating a busy sales pipeline across several salespeople.

Monitor opportunities and proactively chase actions, decisions and next steps.

Maintain accurate CRM records and support the transition from Dynamics to HubSpot.

Identify stalled opportunities and help move them forward.

Coordinate meetings, diaries and customer communications.

Contact prospective customers and follow up on behalf of senior sales colleagues.

Prepare polished presentations, proposals, quotations and contracts.

Produce meeting agendas and ensure actions are followed through.

Coordinate contract execution, customer onboarding and renewals.

Support pipeline reporting, forecasting and wider commercial activity.

Research new markets and identify prospective customers and commercial partners.

Build targeted prospect lists and undertake intelligent outreach.

Work with Marketing on campaigns, events and lead-generation activity.

Monitor market developments and competitor activity.

Build relationships with prospective customers and, over time, lead meetings and manage opportunities independently.

Applicants must currently be working as a Business Development Executive, Account Executive, Sales Coordinator, Client Services Executive or in a commercially focused account management role. You will have the ability to combine strong organisation with confidence, initiative and commercial awareness.

You will ideally have

Experience supporting or contributing to a business development, sales or account management function.

Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders and customers.

Strong presentation skills and the ability to produce high-quality client materials.
