About the Role

We are seeking a Client Development Manager with a proven ability to build and nurture a high-quality pipeline of targeted prospects aligned to our value proposition. The role will focus on self-generating opportunities through strategic partnerships, referrals, and outbound prospecting, supported by a strong track record of converting leads into long-term clients.

This is a dynamic, relationship-driven role where you’ll engage with holiday park operators, understand their ambitions, and demonstrate how our tailored solutions can help them achieve their goals.

➡️ Support contract negotiations alongside Legal, ensuring strong commercial outcomes
➡️ Gather market and competitor insights to inform strategy and proposition development
➡️ Represent the business at industry events, trade shows, and networking opportunities
➡️ Maintain accurate pipeline reporting, tracking performance against targets and KPIs

Live by our four values: One Business One Team, Keep it Simple, Grow & Learn, Sustainable Impact.

What You’ll Bring

✅ Proven experience in B2B sales or business development (ideally within travel, leisure, hospitality, property, or holiday parks)
✅ A strong track record of sourcing, pitching, and converting new business opportunities
✅ Excellent relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
✅ Strong commercial awareness and a consultative sales approach
