We're looking for a Business Development Manager to sell Tier 2 ERP solutions (Epicor, Infor, IFS, Aptean, QAD, or similar) into the manufacturing and Engineer-to-Order (ETO) sectors.

This is a role for a true deal-maker. You'll take ownership of the full sales cycle-prospecting, qualifying, pitching, negotiating, and closing-while engaging with senior stakeholders across IT, Operations, and the C-Suite.

What You'll Be Doing

• Partnering with pre-sales and delivery teams to hand over closed deals seamlessly.

• A proven ERP/enterprise software salesperson, ideally with Epicor or comparable Tier 2 ERP experience.
• Background in discrete manufacturing or ETO.
• A hunter mentality - driven, competitive, and focused on results.
• Consultative sales skills with the ability to influence decision-makers at all levels.
• Strong professional network in business change or lean manufacturing (desirable).
• Willingness to travel UK-wide to close business.

Salary/package: £80-90,000 + commission + OTE £100-120K benefits, * Competitive base salary + uncapped commission.

• Freedom to grow your own territory in a high-demand market.
• The chance to represent a leading ERP solution.
• Career development, training, and long-term progression opportunities.
