Business Development Manager

21 Days Old

Do you love hunting for opportunities inside big OEM accounts rather than cold-calling new ones?

This role is all about developing one of the UK’s most high-profile automotive customers: JLR.

We’re working with a leading 1st tier automotive manufacturer. They’re looking for a commercially sharp Account Development Manager to unlock new revenue streams and grow their footprint with Jaguar Land Rover.

The opportunity

You’ll treat JLR like your own “mini territory”:

*

Map stakeholders across purchasing, engineering, programme and plant teams

*

Spot where existing products could be engineered into new models, derivatives and plants

*

Actively chase new RFQs, nominate opportunities and build the project pipeline

*

Work closely with engineering and programme management to create compelling technical/commercial proposals

*

Build business cases, pricing strategies and value propositions to win profitable new programmes

*

Track forecast vs. actual sales, margin and growth at platform and plant level

*

Feed market and customer insight back into the business to influence innovation and NPD

This is a role for someone who doesn’t just “manage” an account, you grow it.

About you

We’re looking for someone who brings:

*

Proven experience developing business with automotive OEMs and/or Tier 1s

*

Track record of growing revenue within a key account (more programmes, more parts, more plants)

*

Strong understanding of OEM buying cycles, sourcing decisions, programme timelines and gate reviews

*

Confidence sitting with engineering one day and procurement the next, adjusting your approach accordingly

*

Numerate and commercially astute, comfortable with pricing models, cost breakdowns and margin analysis

*

Energy, resilience and a “go after it” mindset, you enjoy creating opportunities, not waiting for them

Existing JLR contacts or experience would be a big plus.

Why join?

*

Own the growth of a strategically critical account

*

Base salary around £50k+ DOE + company car + bonus (flexible for the right person)

*

Hybrid, field-based role with autonomy to plan your week around customer activity
