Business Development Executive

This role isn't about closing deals — it's about making sure every deal that reaches Sales is worth closing. You'll work a defined list of strategic target accounts: qualifying leads, understanding what they actually need, and handing Sales a pipeline that's warm, accurate and ready to convert.

You'll sit in Marketing, working tightly with Sales — the link between interest and opportunity.

About the Role What you'll be doing:

• Calling and qualifying new and inbound leads across our key strategic accounts
• Digging into what each prospect actually needs, not just what they ask for
• Working your list systematically — every opportunity has a clear next step, logged and on time
• Handing Sales opportunities that are genuinely ready to go
• Representing Venta properly — direct, honest, no nonsense

Benefits

• 33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• Daily free lunch and refreshments
• Real, freshly ground coffee!
• Access to Lifeworks perks and discount scheme
• Employee recognition and rewards
• Additional holiday after 2 years of service
• Nest pension scheme

Requirements

• You pick up the phone without hesitating, and a "not interested" doesn't slow you down — you're already on to the next one
• You read people quickly and bring them round to your way of thinking without much effort
• You want a target and a scoreboard — you need to know where you stand
• You're organised enough to work a defined list properly — you treat the process as how you win, not as admin that gets in the way
• You're direct enough to move a conversation forward, personable enough that people stay on the line
