Senior Business Development Executive
Location: Ebbw Vale, Wales (with UK and international travel as required)
Reporting To: Chief Executive Officer
Employment Type: Full-Time
About the Role
We are seeking an exceptional, commercially driven, and highly creative Senior Business Development Executive to spearhead revenue growth across three innovative business sectors:
- Electric Sports Cars – selling premium, retro, electric sports cars to high-net-worth individuals, collectors, entrepreneurs, and corporate clients.
- Electric Skateboard Platforms – commercialising vehicle platforms for low-volume vehicle manufacturers, specialist mobility businesses, and niche automotive OEMs.
- Advanced Composite Materials & Engineering Solutions – providing lightweighting, structural, and manufacturing solutions to businesses across automotive, aerospace, defence, marine, motorsport, and industrial sectors.
This is not a traditional sales position. We are looking for a strategic dealmaker, relationship-builder, and creative thinker who can identify opportunities that others miss, design compelling commercial propositions, and build partnerships from concept through to contract.
The successful candidate will be equally comfortable presenting a luxury vehicle to a billionaire entrepreneur, negotiating platform supply agreements with automotive manufacturers, pitching technology solutions to film production studios, or helping create innovative composite applications for industrial customers.
