FDP is looking for an experienced Business Development Manager or Sales Professional with a background in print, creative, design, digital or web services.
This is not an entry-level sales role. We're looking for someone who already understands the industry, has experience selling relevant services and can use their knowledge, relationships and prospecting ability to generate new business.
Ideally, you'll have an established professional network and a strong understanding of where opportunities exist within the market. You don't need to be an expert in every service we offer, but you should have solid experience in at least one of our core areas.
This could be an excellent opportunity for an established sales professional looking for a stronger platform or a current or former business owner who wants to move away from the operational pressures of running a business and into a permanent, commercially focused role.
You focus on winning and developing business. Our creative, digital and production teams provide the expertise and infrastructure to deliver it.
What You'll Be Doing
- Generate new business across FDP's full range of services.
- Identify and develop opportunities through industry knowledge, networking and strategic prospecting.
- Build and manage a strong sales pipeline.
- Develop long-term relationships with clients and prospects.
- Understand client requirements and recommend the right creative, digital or print solutions.
- Manage opportunities from initial contact through to sale and ongoing account development.
What You'll Be Selling
FDP offers a broad range of services, giving you multiple opportunities to develop business with each client.
Creative & Design
Branding, graphic design, marketing materials and creative campaigns.
Digital & Web
Websites, bespoke CRM systems, apps, digital platforms and software solutions.
Print
Business cards, brochures, packaging, signage, direct mail, large-format print and print management.
You don't need experience in every area, but you should have a good working knowledge and sales experience in at least one of these sectors.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in experience, industry knowledge and commercial ability rather than job titles.
Ideally, you will have:
- A proven track record in sales or business development.
- Experience selling print, creative, design, digital or web services.
- Strong knowledge of at least one of our core service areas.
- An established professional network and the ability to develop new opportunities.
- Strong prospecting and relationship-building skills.
- A consultative approach to sales.
- The confidence to engage with business owners and senior decision-makers.
- A self-motivated, commercially focused approach.
What We Offer
- £30,000–£40,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
- Uncapped commission, with realistic OTE of £45,000–£60,000+.
- Car allowance, mileage reimbursement or company vehicle options.
- Flexible working arrangements once established.
- A broad range of services, allowing multiple revenue opportunities with each client.
- Full support from experienced creative, digital, production and delivery teams.
- A genuine long-term opportunity within a growing business.
Why FDP?
FDP gives you the opportunity to use your industry knowledge, sales experience and commercial relationships while having an experienced team behind you.
You won't be expected to deliver the creative work, build the websites or manage production yourself. Your role is to identify opportunities, build relationships and grow the business, supported by the people and infrastructure needed to deliver for your clients.
Whether you're an established Business Development Manager looking for a stronger platform, or a business owner looking to move into a permanent role with less operational responsibility, this could be the right next step.
