Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager / Sales Manager – Contract Recruitment - Specific Recruitment Experience a necessity.

Energy & Data Centre Markets | EMEA Focus

I’m currently partnering with a high-growth, well-established recruitment business that’s making serious moves across the energy and data centre space.

They’re looking for a commercially sharp Business Development Manager / Sales Manager to play a key role in scaling their contract recruitment offering across the EMEA region.

This is a genuinely high-impact role. If you enjoy building something, opening doors, and directly influencing revenue, you’ll be right at home here.

The Opportunity

You’ll be given the autonomy and backing to:

• Drive new business across EMEA within energy and data centre markets
• Open doors with key clients and convert opportunities into long-term partnerships
• Own the full sales cycle from initial engagement through to deal close
• Work closely with delivery teams to ensure high-quality contract solutions
• Spot market trends and capitalise on growth areas ahead of competitors

This isn’t a “sit back and account manage” role. It’s for someone who enjoys the chase, thrives on wins, and wants to build a strong, sustainable client base.

What They’re Looking For

• A proven track record in business development, sales, AND contract recruitment
• Strong billing history and evidence of hitting or exceeding targets
• Commercially astute with a proactive, solutions-led mindset
• Confident operating across international markets
• Experience or interest in energy, infrastructure, or data centres would be a big plus

Most importantly, they want someone driven, credible, and capable of operating at pace.

What’s on Offer

• £50K base salary
• Uncapped commission with realistic OTE of £90K – £125K+
• Clear progression in a business that’s scaling
• Strong internal support and collaborative culture
• Access to high-growth, future-focused markets

If you’re an experienced sales professional or recruiter looking to step into a role with real earning potential and long-term career upside, this is well worth a conversation.
