Business Development Advisor - Agency-Facing Role

Location: Lancashire
Sector: Contractor Services/Umbrella/Payroll
Full-Time | Permanent
Salary: £25000 rising to £28000 + £15000 On Target commission

I'm working with a well-established organisation in the contractor services space, and they're looking to add a Business Development Advisor to their growing team.

This role is ideal for someone confident, proactive, and relationship-driven - someone who enjoys engaging with recruitment agencies, spotting opportunities to grow accounts, and making a real commercial impact.

Previous experience of working within a recruitment company or umbrella provider would be highly beneficial.

You'll act as a key point of contact for a portfolio of agencies, helping to onboard new partners, support contractors, and drive registrations. It's not a cold-calling sales role - it's more about building and maintaining strong agency relationships that lead to growth.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing and maintaining regular contact with allocated agencies

• Providing feedback to agencies on contractor progress

• Supporting both internal and field-based sales teams

• Onboarding new agencies and identifying business opportunities

• Keeping CRM systems up to date

• Attending relevant training and development sessions

• Coordinating comms plans and delivering on planned activities

• Responding to agency and contractor queries via phone/email

What they're looking for:

• Excellent written and verbal communication

• Confidence and professionalism in client interactions

• Strong organisational skills and ability to prioritise

• A team player who can also work on their own initiative

• Comfortable working to targets and deadlines

• Solid IT skills and CRM experience preferred

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a supportive and forward-thinking company that values development and long-term relationships over high-pressure selling.
