Entry-Level Business Development Executive | Marketing Technology

£30,000-£32,000 Base + £16,000-£25,000 Uncapped OTE

Interested in marketing, technology and the creative side of sales?

Want a role where engaging prospects means more than just picking up the phone?

Looking for an entry-level opportunity where you can build relationships, try new ideas and develop your own communication style?

This could be a great place to start your career.

We’re partnering with a fast-growing marketing technology business that helps companies run better marketing campaigns and get more from the technology available to them.

Using an innovative platform powered by AI and technology, they help businesses understand their marketing performance, make smarter decisions and ultimately achieve better results from their campaigns.

They’re now looking for an Entry-Level Business Development Executive to join their growing team. You don’t need previous sales or tech experience. They’re looking for someone creative, confident with people and willing to think differently about how they engage potential clients.

The Role

This isn’t a traditional “sit on the phone all day” business development role.

Yes, there will be calls involved, but you’ll also be encouraged to get creative and use different channels to start conversations and build relationships with potential clients.

You’ll be:

  • Using LinkedIn, video, voice notes, email and phone to engage prospective clients
  • Creating personalised and interesting ways to get the attention of decision-makers
  • Building genuine relationships rather than relying on a scripted sales pitch
  • Speaking with marketing teams and business leaders about their goals and challenges
  • Helping businesses understand how technology and AI could improve their marketing
  • Researching businesses and finding the right people to approach
  • Experimenting with different messaging and outreach ideas to see what works
  • Booking and attending meetings with prospective clients
  • Working closely with experienced team members to develop opportunities
  • Building your knowledge across marketing, technology and business

There’s plenty of room to bring your own personality to the role. If you have an idea for a LinkedIn video, a personalised voice note or a different way to get someone’s attention, you’ll be encouraged to try it.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous sales experience. This is an entry-level opportunity for someone who wants to learn and develop.

You could be a graduate, currently working in a customer-facing role or simply looking for an opportunity to start your commercial career.

We’d love to speak to someone who:

  • Is naturally confident building relationships with new people
  • Has a creative approach to communication
  • Is interested in marketing, social media, technology or AI
  • Would feel comfortable creating videos or voice notes to engage prospects
  • Is curious and enjoys learning about different businesses
  • Is a strong communicator and a good listener
  • Enjoys coming up with new ideas and trying different approaches
  • Is ambitious and wants genuine career progression
  • Is comfortable working towards goals and targets
  • Is positive, resilient and open to feedback

Previous experience in hospitality, retail, customer service, marketing, recruitment, social media or another people-focused environment could be useful, but it’s certainly not essential.

Personality, creativity and the willingness to learn matter far more than having previous B2B sales experience.

What’s On Offer?

  • £30,000-£32,000 basic salary
  • £16,000-£25,000 uncapped OTE
  • Full training and ongoing development
  • A modern approach to business development that goes beyond just cold calling
  • Freedom to get creative with LinkedIn, video, voice notes and personalised outreach
  • Exposure to marketing, AI and technology
  • Clear progression as your confidence and experience grow
  • Opportunity to develop towards managing your own client relationships and deals
  • Support from an experienced, high-performing team
  • The chance to join a growing, award-winning technology business

If you’re looking for an entry-level career that combines creativity, people, marketing, technology and commercial skills , this is an opportunity to learn how modern business development is really done.
