The Opportunity

An opportunity for an experienced Business Development Manager to win and develop long-term manufacturing programmes with leading industrial OEMs across the UK.

The business specialises in advanced plastic moulding solutions, supplying engineered components into global industrial markets. Contracts are typically multi-year programmes, often supporting products throughout their lifecycle. Many run 5–10 years or longer, creating stable, long-term customer partnerships.

Working in a home-based role with national customer responsibility, you will have the autonomy to identify, develop and secure new UK manufacturing programmes.

The company is investing in automation, systems and commercial growth, creating an opportunity to play a key role in expanding the UK customer base and driving future growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to win long-term manufacturing programmes with global industrial customers
• Contracts typically run up to 10 years, creating significant long-term revenue streams
• High level of autonomy to develop and grow new customer relationships
• Opportunity to shape the UK commercial growth strategy
• Join a business actively investing in modern manufacturing and automation

What You’ll Be Doing

• Winning new injection and blow moulding programmes with industrial manufacturers and OEMs
• Developing relationships with engineering, procurement and programme teams
• Identifying and developing new UK customers aligned with the company’s ideal customer profile
• Managing the commercial relationship once programmes are secured
• Growing revenue within selected existing customers

Sales cycles typically range from 3–12 months, with programme values increasing as projects move into full production.

What We’re Looking For

• Sales or business development experience within plastic moulding, engineered components or manufacturing
• A proven track record of winning new business
• Experience selling into OEMs or industrial manufacturing organisationsComfortable managing longer technical sales cycles
• A commercially driven and proactive approach to building strategic customer relationships

Company Overview

• Global operations with manufacturing facilities across Europe
