We’re working with a high-growth UK B2B platform operating at the intersection of retail, performance marketing and loyalty.

• Aggressive plans to onboard 100+ new retail partners
• Strong product-market fit with UK retailers
• Backed by a proven commercial leadership team that invests heavily in its people

This is a company where good salespeople are trusted, developed and promoted.

The Role

This is a 100% new business, full-cycle BDM role focused on winning UK retail partnerships.

You’ll own deals end-to-end:

• Prospecting (your own patch + black book)
• Pitching and proposal building (data-led, consultative)
• Negotiation and close
• Supporting onboarding alongside Client Success

You’ll be selling a measurable, performance-led proposition to retail brands.

Sales motion:

• Pure hunter role
• Average deal values ranging from around £60k but scaling up to £400k
• Consultative, multi-stakeholder sales
• Strong autonomy in how you run your pipeline, do your outreach etc

Progression

• Realistic, well-defined ramp period
• Clear path into senior commercial roles for top performers
• Regular performance reviews and structured development
