Business Development Representative London | £30,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission
If you're looking for more than just another graduate sales role, this is an opportunity to build expertise within one of the world's most innovative industries while developing a long-term career in consultative business development.
We're working with an internationally recognised healthcare media and publishing organisation that collaborates with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to deliver trusted medical education to healthcare professionals around the world.
As a Graduate Business Development Representative, you'll become an expert within your own specialist therapy area, helping global organisations connect with clinicians through market-leading educational campaigns, digital content and medical publications.
What makes this role different?
Forget selling a generic product.
Instead, you'll build genuine market knowledge, develop relationships with senior professionals across the pharmaceutical industry and learn how commercial partnerships are created within the healthcare sector.
You'll receive comprehensive training from experienced sales professionals, giving you the confidence to manage conversations with Marketing Directors, Medical Affairs teams and commercial decision-makers from the very beginning.
Your day-to-day No two days are the same. You'll spend your time:
- Identifying pharmaceutical and healthcare organisations that could benefit from tailored media and educational solutions.
- Researching your specialist therapy area to understand market developments, key accounts and industry trends.
- Speaking with senior decision-makers to understand their commercial objectives and upcoming projects.
- Building a pipeline of new business opportunities through outbound calls, email campaigns and LinkedIn networking.
- Arranging high-quality meetings for the wider commercial team.
- Supporting sales activity around major international healthcare events and medical congresses.
- Managing your own pipeline using CRM software and tracking your progress against personal goals.
- Working alongside experienced Business Development Managers to learn the full commercial sales process.
Who we're looking for
This opportunity is ideal for graduates or ambitious individuals looking to establish themselves in a professional B2B sales environment.
You'll stand out if you:
- Enjoy building relationships and starting conversations with new people.
- Have a genuine interest in business and commercial strategy.
- Are motivated by targets, progression and earning potential.
- Learn quickly and enjoy becoming an expert in new subjects.
- Stay organised and manage your time effectively.
- Bring energy, resilience and a positive attitude to your work.
Experience in customer service, sales, recruitment, hospitality or fundraising is beneficial, but your attitude and ambition are what matter most.
What you'll receive
- £30,000 starting salary.
- Uncapped commission with realistic first-year earnings of £60,000.
- A structured induction and ongoing professional development.
- Dedicated coaching from experienced commercial leaders.
- Ownership of your own specialist healthcare market.
- Exposure to globally recognised pharmaceutical organisations.
- Clear progression into Business Development and Account Management roles.
- A supportive culture where success is recognised and rewarded.
Why choose this opportunity?
This role offers the chance to develop specialist commercial expertise within an industry that genuinely makes a difference.
Rather than focusing purely on volume sales, you'll learn how to build lasting business relationships, understand complex client needs and represent solutions that help healthcare professionals access the latest medical research and education.
If you're ambitious, commercially curious and looking for a graduate role with genuine progression, this is the perfect place to start your career.
