Business Development Executive
Help Great Businesses Grow
At Magnetic Business Development, we help ambitious organisations open doors, build relationships and win new business.
For more than 20 years, we have supported businesses operating in specialist, technical and regulated sectors, helping them connect with senior decision-makers and secure opportunities that drive long-term growth.
Our clients range from fire safety and engineering companies to professional services firms, technology providers and specialist consultancies. They trust us to represent their brand professionally and create meaningful commercial conversations that lead to new opportunities.
We are looking for motivated, professional and reliable individuals to join our growing team as Business Development Executives.
This is an opportunity to build valuable commercial skills, develop confidence in a professional business environment and become part of a team that plays a direct role in helping businesses grow.
Whether you are at the beginning of your career, returning to work, or looking for a fresh challenge, we are interested in speaking with people who are confident communicators, enjoy building relationships and are eager to learn.
The Role
This is a full-time, office-based position located in Eastbourne.
As a Business Development Executive, you will be responsible for managing client campaigns, identifying opportunities and engaging with senior decision-makers across a range of industries.
You will represent respected organisations, initiate commercial conversations and secure qualified meetings that create genuine business opportunities for our clients.
Every day is different. One week you may be supporting a fire safety consultancy, the next an engineering business, technology company or professional services firm.
You will receive full training, ongoing coaching and support from an experienced team.
