We're looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Business Development Manager to accelerate the growth of our Able to Pay division. This is a true business development role focused on identifying new opportunities, building strategic partnerships and increasing revenue across domestic and commercial renewable energy markets.

If you thrive on winning new business, developing long-term client relationships and delivering commercial success, we'd love to hear from you.

• Growing sales of renewable energy solutions including heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage and energy-efficient heating systems.
• Building and managing a strong sales pipeline from lead generation through to contract completion.
• Creating and delivering business development strategies to achieve ambitious revenue targets.

• Collaborating with operational teams to ensure an excellent customer journey from enquiry through to installation.
• Monitoring market trends, competitor activity and emerging technologies to identify future growth opportunities.
• Maintaining accurate CRM records, forecasts and sales reporting.

While you'll provide guidance and support to the telesales function, this role is primarily focused on commercial growth rather than people management.

• The ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Strong commercial awareness and strategic thinking.
• Experience managing sales pipelines and CRM systems.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with a passion for exceeding targets.
• Knowledge of renewable technologies including heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage or wider decarbonisation solutions would be highly desirable.

What We Offer

• £60,000–£70,000 salary depending on experience
