Business Development Advisor - Agency-Facing Role
Location: Lancashire
Sector: Contractor Services/Umbrella/Payroll
Full-Time | Permanent
Salary: £25000 rising to £28000 + £15000 On Target commission
I'm working with a well-established organisation in the contractor services space, and they're looking to add a Business Development Advisor to their growing team.
This role is ideal for someone confident, proactive, and relationship-driven - someone who enjoys engaging with recruitment agencies, spotting opportunities to grow accounts, and making a real commercial impact.
Previous experience of working within a recruitment company or umbrella provider would be highly beneficial.
You'll act as a key point of contact for a portfolio of agencies, helping to onboard new partners, support contractors, and drive registrations. It's not a cold-calling sales role - it's more about building and maintaining strong agency relationships that lead to growth.
Key responsibilities include:
* Developing and maintaining regular contact with allocated agencies
* Providing feedback to agencies on contractor progress
* Supporting both internal and field-based sales teams
* Onboarding new agencies and identifying business opportunities
* Keeping CRM systems up to date
* Attending relevant training and development sessions
* Coordinating comms plans and delivering on planned activities
* Responding to agency and contractor queries via phone/email
What they're looking for:
* Excellent written and verbal communication
* Confidence and professionalism in client interactions
* Strong organisational skills and ability to prioritise
* A team player who can also work on their own initiative
* Comfortable working to targets and deadlines
* Solid IT skills and CRM experience preferred
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a supportive and forward-thinking company that values development and long-term relationships over high-pressure selling.
