Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager

Ready to own your market, unlock new opportunities, and drive growth for a globally trusted brand while working flexibly from anywhere in the UK or Ireland?

We are looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager to lead growth across a defined market area. This role is responsible for developing new business opportunities, growing existing customer relationships, identifying new prospects, and delivering sustainable sales growth across DNV's management systems certification and training services.

This is not a desk-based sales role. Success requires a proactive approach to customer engagement, market development, opportunity creation, and territory planning. You will be expected to build a strong pipeline of opportunities, maintain excellent customer relationships, and act as a visible representative of DNV in your region.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive New Business Growth
• Grow Existing Customer Relationships
• Territory and Market Development
• Pipeline and Forecast Management
• Customer Engagement
• Collaboration

What We Offer

This is more than a traditional sales role. You'll have the opportunity to develop your market, influence growth strategy and build relationships with organizations that are shaping the future of their industries.

Wherever you are based in the UK and Ireland, you'll have the flexibility to work remotely while staying closely connected to customers, colleagues and industry networks.

Combined with a trusted global brand, a broad service portfolio and the support of leading technical experts, DNV provides an environment where commercially minded professionals can make a genuine impact and build a long-term career.

DNV is an Equal Opportunity Employer and gives consideration for employment to qualified applicants without regard to gender, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, cultural background, social group, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, age or political opinion. Diversity is fundamental to our culture and we invite you to be part of this diversity.

Security and compliance with statutory requirements in the countries in which we operate is essential for DNV. Background checks will be conducted on all final candidates as part of the offer process, in accordance with applicable country-specific laws and practices.
