Job Description

About Nationwide Utilities

Nationwide Utilities is one of the UK's leading independent energy consultancies. We help businesses reduce their utility costs and carbon footprint through expert procurement, transparent advice, and dedicated service. As our team grows, we're excited to welcome a motivated and tenacious Business Development Executive to help drive our outbound growth strategy.

Your Role

We're looking for a smart, diligent and commercially aware Business Development Executive who would work at the intersection of sales and marketing. You'll be part of a small, high-trust team building intelligent sales funnels for some of the UK and Europe's largest energy users. This is a key role in our sales engine. It's about warming the room before we even walk into it.

Why This Role Matters

We're entering a period of major growth. With recent investment into our marketing tech stack and expansion into key European sectors, the timing is right, and execution is everything. That's where you come in. Your ability to support the top of the sales funnel accurately, creatively, and with attention to detail. This will directly influence the quality of conversations we have and the speed at which we close new business. You'll be laying the foundations for multi-million-pound deals across energy procurement, renewables (solar, battery storage, cPPAs), and infrastructure connections. You'll be the first point of contact for potential clients, responsible for identifying and generating new business opportunities through proactive outreach. You'll warm up prospects, understand their needs, and pass qualified leads to the wider sales team to develop and close.

Key Responsibilities

Execute outbound lead generation campaigns via phone, email, LinkedIn, and other digital tools. Identify and reach key decision-makers in target sectors. Articulate Nationwide Utilities' services clearly and persuasively. Qualify leads based on key criteria to ensure alignment with our service offering. Schedule meetings and hand off warm leads to the wider Business Development team. Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in the CRM system. Collaborate with the wider sales and marketing teams to refine outreach strategies and messaging.
What We're Looking For

1-2 years of outbound sales, lead generation, or telesales experience (B2B preferred). Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Confident, enthusiastic, and target-oriented mindset. Resilience and a proactive approach to overcoming objections. Familiarity with CRM platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot is a plus. Energy, utilities, or consultancy experience is an advantage but not essential.
What We Offer

Clear career development path, with opportunities to progress into senior sales roles. Structured onboarding and ongoing training. A supportive and high-energy team environment. Modern office in central London with excellent transport links. Recognition for achievement and contribution.
