This Business Development Manager has 10 years of hands-on experience working across media environments. Their recent work has included developing new accounts, preparing proposals and building sales pipelines, with regular responsibility for pipeline management and prospecting. They are comfortable using HubSpot, CRM systems and Excel, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as collaborative, approachable and well organised, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that won new clients, while they also contributed to initiatives that built a healthier pipeline. 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 new business development and proposal writing, 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 position with clear development opportunities. In their next move, greater ownership of their work is an important consideration. They value stability, professional standards and a workplace where people follow through on commitments. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
