Business Development Manager

Job description

The Influence Room is changing the rules of influencer marketing.

We connect brands with creators who genuinely love what they do - exchanging products and experiences for authentic content, not cash. The result? Content audiences trust, campaigns that perform, and partnerships that actually feel real.

No inflated influencer fees. No guesswork. Just passionate advocates creating high-impact content that drives measurable results.

We’re growing fast, winning exciting brands from O2, La Redoute and B&Q to M&S, easyJet and Nissan, as well as building a team of ambitious people who want to make an impact.

Job Overview:

We’re looking for a hungry, driven Business Development Manager who loves winning new business.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the thrill of closing deals, building relationships, and being rewarded for performance.

You’ll be speaking to marketing leaders, pitching a disruptive solution, and directly influencing company growth. If you want a role where effort = reward, this is it.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify and engage prospective clients through research, networking, and outreach.
• Develop and deliver compelling sales pitches tailored to client needs.
• Negotiate and close sales agreements, ensuring alignment with company objectives.
• Accurately forecast sales and maintain up-to-date CRM records.
• Track and report on sales performance, highlighting successes and areas for improvement.
• Build relationships with prospects and internal stakeholders to grow new business opportunities
• Work collaboratively with marketing and technology departments to execute sales strategy, as we introduce enhancements to existing solutions and/or release new products
• Stay informed on industry trends and competitor activities to identify new opportunities.
• Consistently achieve or exceed sales and revenue targets through proactive effort.

The Person:

• Proven success in a sales or business development role (minimum 2-3 years).

• Results-driven with a track record of consistently achieving or exceeding sales targets.

• Self-motivated, highly organised, and able to manage multiple priorities.

• Positive attitude with a strong desire to learn and grow within the role.

SaaS, media, or marketing experience is helpful but not essential — attitude matters more.
