About the role
We’re looking for a Corporate Business Development Executive in waste management to join our Construction and Infrastructure team in the Recycle Loop. We have a strong track record of thinking differently when it comes to working with customers, helping them transition to more sustainable and circular business models.
With global attention on resource management and the urgent need to tackle climate change, this is a fantastic opportunity to help businesses reduce their environmental impact. As part of our ongoing growth strategy, we’ve successfully completed over 20 acquisitions, with more in the pipeline, making this an exciting time for ambitious sales professionals to join us and contribute to our expanding portfolio of prestigious clients.
What is the role?
You will need to be self-motivated, along with a high energy, vision, and strong relationship building skills to develop impactful solutions for blue-chip organisations.
A key part of this role is building and maintaining a strong sales pipeline, using a mix of self-generated opportunities and company-provided leads. Where needed, you’ll collaborate with a dedicated bid team to manage the development and submission of compelling proposals.
You will have the opportunity to engage and present to an interesting variety of client stakeholders from on-site operations to the boardroom. Your goal will be to build a portfolio of profitable business accounts while delivering social, economic and environmental value to customers.
What we need from you
A proactive attitude and genuine willingness to learn, grow, and take on new challenges.
A self-motivated approach, with the ability to take initiative and manage your own workload effectively.
Ability to self-generate and convert new business opportunities across multiple market sectors.
Be able to demonstrate competence with a solution led sales process.
Having the confidence to develop meaningful dialogue with the right stakeholders.
Effective communication and presentation skills.
Demonstrable track record of working to and consistently achieving challenging targets.
This role requires regular travel across the UK to meet potential customers, including frequent overnight stays. When not on the road, you will work remotely from home. A full UK driving licence is essential due to the travel demands of the position.
What we offer
Financial perks: Pension scheme, length of service rewards, and referral bonuses
Exclusive discounts: MyPerks platform, Cycle to Work scheme, gym membership discounts, and skip hire discounts
Health & wellbeing: Flu jabs, eyecare vouchers, and an Employee Assistance Programme
Mental health support: Confidential counselling, MyPerks Wellbeing Centre, and access to trained Mental Health First Aiders
Family-friendly: Enhanced maternity/paternity leave, birthday off, and holiday trading scheme
Community engagement: Volunteer days and collaboration with local charities
