Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager Base Salary Upto $130k + Double OTEBuild Markets. Win New Business. Shape the Future of Sustainable Food Packaging. Most sales roles talk about growth. This one is entirely built around it. We are looking for true hunters. The kind of commercial professionals who know how to knock down doors, create opportunities from nothing, build relationships quickly and win new business consistently. This is not a role for someone who wants to manage existing accounts. This is a role for someone who wants to go out into the market, challenge competitors, open conversations, create momentum and deliver commercial wins. A leading international food packaging manufacturer is investing heavily in the US market and launching an ambitious growth initiative focused on winning entirely new business across the food packaging sector. We are looking for commercially aggressive, high-energy hunters who know how to open doors, create momentum and close strategic new business opportunities. This is a pure hunter role for someone who thrives on: Winning new logos Creating opportunities from scratch Building pipelines through outbound activity Converting prospects into long-term commercial partnerships Being rewarded directly for performance If you are driven by growth, competition, earnings and impact — this is the kind of platform that can genuinely accelerate your career. Why This Opportunity Stands Out A genuine growth story Our client is already an established and highly successful business across Europe and is now accelerating its expansion across the United States. You will join at a critical stage of growth where your impact will be visible, measurable and commercially important. Exceptional earning potential Base salary up to $130,000 Highly competitive uncapped bonus structure Double OTE opportunity Accelerators for over-performance Strategic deal bonuses available Top performers will be heavily rewarded. Break into the packaging industry Packaging experience is beneficial — but not essential. We are open to high-performing commercial hunters from aligned B2B industries who want to break into one of the most stable, relationship-driven and strategically important industries in the market. True autonomy This is a role for someone who wants ownership. You will have the freedom to build territory plans, develop target account strategies, generate your own pipeline and create commercial success in your region. The Role As Business Development Manager, your focus will be simple: Go into the market and win new customers. You will proactively target manufacturers, food brands, distributors and strategic accounts across the food packaging market — opening doors, creating opportunities and converting prospects into profitable long-term partnerships. You will: Generate and qualify new business opportunities Build and manage your own outbound pipeline Drive the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close Open doors through cold outreach, networking and industry relationships Deliver compelling commercial presentations and proposals Collaborate with technical and operational teams to develop solutions Identify both quick wins and strategic long-term opportunities Maintain strong CRM discipline and forecasting accuracy This is a highly visible role with genuine influence on the organisation’s US growth trajectory.
