Job description

Job Title: Business Development Manager

Location: UK (remote / field-based)

Compensation: Strong base + commission structure

What’s in it for you

A rare opportunity to take full ownership of UK business development within an internationally established ingredients supplier. You’ll have the autonomy to build your own pipeline, shape market strategy, and directly influence growth.

Package / Benefits

• Strong base salary + commission structure
• Flexible, remote working model
• High autonomy with direct access to UK leadership
• Clear opportunity to shape and grow a UK market presence

Why this business

A globally established ingredients supplier operating across food, beverage, and supplements, with circa €250m turnover and international reach. The UK arm is lean, high-growth, and commercially focused, offering a less structured environment where individuals can take ownership and drive tangible results. You’ll work closely with the UK lead, contributing to market direction and expansion strategy.

What you’ll be doing

• Drive new business growth across the UK within supplements and food & beverage ingredients
• Build and execute a self-generated pipeline, targeting high-value accounts
• Develop and convert commercial relationships through proactive market engagement
• Identify market gaps and influence product opportunities aligned to customer demand

What you’ll bring

• Experience within supplements, nutraceuticals, or food & beverage ingredients
• Proven track record or clear ability to win new business
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to spot market opportunities
• Confidence operating independently within a lean, entrepreneurial setup

Who this suits

You’re a commercially minded individual who thrives on ownership and new business development. You enjoy building something from the ground up and are comfortable operating without a heavy structure.

This could suit someone earlier in their career with strong drive, or a more experienced profile seeking greater autonomy. You’re motivated by impact, flexibility, and the chance to shape your own success.
