Job Overview

As the first line of contact with business owners, your job is to engage potential sellers, open conversations around acquisition, and represent the face of a confident, growth-focused UK enterprise.

• Maintain accurate, detailed records of conversations and pipeline activity within the CRM.
• Work in sync with the internal M&A and leadership team to align outreach with acquisition goals.
• Contribute to an energetic, performance-driven team culture with measurable KPIs.

Qualifications and Experience

• Degree in business, marketing, or a related field preferred.
• 2+ years’ experience in business development, consultative sales, or M&A outreach.
• Excellent verbal communication skills with confidence navigating high-level business discussions.
• Comfortable speaking with senior stakeholders, founders, and company directors.
• Naturally persuasive, charismatic, and humorous – someone who builds rapport quickly.
• Familiarity with CRM tools, LinkedIn outreach, and digital sales platforms.
• Laptop, reliable high-speed internet, and professional home office setup.

• Mid-Senior level

• Full-time
