Business Development Director

This is not a maintenance role.

This is for someone who knows how to build, influence and drive serious commercial growth inside a fast-moving, acquisitive professional services environment.

We're partnering with a highly respected, PE-backed organisation undergoing significant expansion across the UK. With ambitious growth plans already in motion, they're looking for a commercially driven Business Development Director to help shape the next phase of the journey.

You'll be operating at senior stakeholder level, opening doors, creating strategic partnerships and identifying high-value opportunities across the market. This is a visible, high-impact role with genuine influence across the business.

What you'll be doing

• Developing and executing a national business development strategy

• Building senior relationships with clients, introducers and partners

• Identifying acquisition, cross-sell and growth opportunities

• Working closely with executive leadership to drive commercial performance

• Leading major pitches, negotiations and strategic conversations

• Collaborating across multiple business units to maximise market opportunity

• Using insight, data and market intelligence to stay ahead of competitors

What we're looking for

• Proven success in a senior business development or commercial leadership role

• Strong background within insurance, financial services or a regulated professional services environment

• Track record of delivering measurable revenue growth

• Exceptional relationship-building and influencing capability

• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate strategically and tactically

• Gravitas, credibility and high levels of commercial acumen

Why this role?

• High-growth business with significant investment behind it

• Real autonomy and visibility at executive level

• Opportunity to shape commercial direction rather than inherit a rigid structure

• Strong earning potential and long-term progression

• Collaborative culture with ambitious leadership

This opportunity will suit an ambitious commercial leader who wants more than just another corporate title - someone who wants to genuinely influence growth, strategy and market position.
