Business Development Director -Bristol
Director of Business Development - Bristol Region | Top 10 UK Accounting Firm
An exciting opportunity has opened with one of the UK's top 10 accounting firm. This is a newly created, senior leadership role focused on driving business development across the Bristol region.
Known for helping clients navigate complexity and unlock potential, this firm offers a full suite of services including tax, accountancy, advisory, corporate finance, and restructuring. They are now investing in strategic growth across the South West.
About the Role: This is a high-impact position where you'll lead the regional business development strategy, originate new opportunities, and build meaningful partnerships. The role offers the chance to shape commercial direction, collaborate across service lines, and influence the firm's market presence in Bristol and beyond.
Key Responsibilities:

• Originate and convert new business opportunities across the Bristol region.
• Build and nurture strategic alliances and client relationships.
• Lead regional sales strategy and pipeline development.
• Collaborate with partners to develop winning proposals and bids.
• Champion best practices in sales and marketing integration.
• Drive commercial performance and exceed personal sales targets.

What's Needed:

• 10+ years of experience in business development or a related field.
• Strong strategic planning and execution skills.
• Proven ability to build relationships and influence at senior levels.
• Commercially astute with deep market insight.
• Demonstrated leadership and mentoring experience.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• A proactive, adaptable, and collaborative approach.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• It's a newly created role with the freedom to shape strategy and impact.
• You'll be part of a top-tier firm with a strong reputation and ambitious growth plans.
• The role offers visibility, influence, and the chance to make a lasting mark in the region.
