Imagine starting your career in a high-growth consultancy where you're trained by industry leaders, work with innovative businesses across tech, AI, life sciences and engineering - and get promoted within your first 9 months.
This is your opportunity to join a thriving team in Manchester City Centre as a Business Development Executive, helping clients unlock growth through R&D tax incentives. These tax credits support innovation in UK businesses - and your role will be to connect with forward-thinking companies and show them how they can access funding for their most exciting projects.
From AI-driven software to new medical devices, the scope is huge - and you'll have the freedom to build relationships with decision-makers across tech, engineering, manufacturing, life sciences, and beyond.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
-
You'll be working in one of the UK's fastest-growing sectors, helping clients fund innovation that gives them a genuine competitive edge.
-
You'll join a close-knit, ambitious team of 14, where collaboration is valued and learning is constant.
-
Your training will be hands-on, structured and led by the Director, including roleplays, classroom sessions and expert workshops.
-
You'll join alongside another new BDE - meaning you'll grow, develop and win together from day one.
-
Promotion to BD Executive Level 2 comes as early as month 9, with your basic rising to £28K, and clear steps to reach Senior BD within 3 years.
What You'll Get:
-
£25,000 basic salary with realistic OTE of £35,000+ in year one
-
Uncapped commission structure - the more value you bring, the more you earn
-
Progression milestones mapped out from day one - expect rapid development
-
Team holidays (last year: 4 days in Amsterdam), regular lunch clubs, and a flexible social fund to spend how the team chooses
-
A collaborative culture where success is shared and ambition is rewarded
-
Office based in Manchester City Centre with hybrid options as you progress
What You'll Be Doing:
-
Build your understanding of R&D tax relief and how it supports innovation across multiple industries
-
Identify and reach out to potential clients through outbound prospecting
-
Qualify businesses and understand their innovation plans
-
Consult with prospects to determine where R&D tax incentives could add real value
-
Collaborate with the consultancy team to deliver tailored support and close opportunities
Who We're Looking For:
-
A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships
-
Graduates who are ambitious, resilient, and excited by professional growth
-
Self-motivated individuals who want to be rewarded for performance
-
Someone who thrives in a supportive, team-first environment
-
No prior sales experience required - just the right attitude, energy and willingness to learn
We're shortlisting now for the next graduate intake. If you're ready to join a business that offers real progression, high earning potential, and the chance to work with some of the UK's most exciting companies - apply today.
