This candidate offers 11 years of experience as a Business Development Manager, primarily within business services. Their recent work has included preparing proposals, negotiating agreements and building sales pipelines, with regular responsibility for pipeline management and negotiation. They are comfortable using HubSpot, CRM systems and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as commercially minded, proactive and solutions focused, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that exceeded sales targets, while they also contributed to initiatives that won new clients. They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in proposal writing and relationship building, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to property, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a structured environment with supportive leadership. In their next move, greater ownership of their work is an important consideration. They are particularly interested in employers that invest in development and provide clear feedback. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
