About The Role

Are you ready to push your sales career in an exciting, fast-growing company?

We're Retail Insight, a cutting-edge software and analytics company that helps businesses unlock their potential through data-driven solutions. We're on a mission to expand our reach, and we need a dynamic, ambitious Business Development Executive (BDE) to help us connect with more businesses and transform the way they work.



This isn't just a job; it's an opportunity to grow, make an impact, and have fun doing it. If you thrive on challenges, love building relationships, and have a passion for learning, we want to hear from you!

What will you do?

Conduct in-depth research to identify market trends, industry shifts, and emerging opportunities in the retail/grocery/CPG space. Cultivate strong relationships with new and existing clients to build trust and encourage repeat business. Identify and establish partnerships that align with business objectives and open up new revenue streams. Collaborate with other departments (marketing, product, operations) to leverage resources in support of partnership development and maintenance. Maintain an organised and detailed sales pipeline to manage leads and forecast business opportunities. Work closely with sales, marketing, and product development teams to create cohesive strategies for customer acquisition and retention. Prepare reports and presentations on sales performance, pipeline updates, and revenue growth.

Our ideal candidate...

Proven experience in business development for technology or SaaS products. Excellent track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets and driving revenue growth. Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence clients at all levels. Experience with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and sales reporting. Willingness to travel as needed to meet clients and attend industry events (if applicable). Bilingual or multilingual candidates are strongly preferred, particularly those fluent in European language. Good understanding of the UK grocery/retail/CPG markets is a huge plus. Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field; an MBA is a plus.
