It’s an exciting time to join us, we are expanding our UK presence and are looking for a commercially driven and relationship-focused Business Development Manager to join our Vision Care team and drive sustainable growth across our Northern Growth Corridor territory. This is a great opportunity for someone who has the mindset, energy, and determination to win.

The Opportunity

This is a role where attitude matters as much as experience. You’ll be supported to succeed, but expected to bring focus, resilience, and a strong desire to close business.

You’ll learn how to manage a territory, build a pipeline, and use CRM tools to turn opportunities into long-term customer relationships.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Winning new business and growing existing accounts 

• Building and managing a strong sales pipeline 

• Following up consistently and closing opportunities

• Using CRM (Salesforce) to plan, track, and improve your performance 

• Developing trusted relationships with customers 

• Working with a supportive team to deliver strong commercial results 

What We’re Looking For

• A strong desire to succeed in sales and build a long-term career

• Resilience, drive, and the ability to keep going when things get tough

• Confidence to engage with customers and learn quickly

• A disciplined approach to follow-up and organisation 

• Willingness to learn CRM tools and structured sales processes

• Any experience in sales, retail, healthcare, or customer-facing roles is beneficial—but not essential 

Why Join Us? 

• A genuine opportunity to develop and grow in a sales career

• Clear structure, training, and support to help you succeed 

• A role where effort and results are recognised

• A collaborative, customer-focused team environment 

• Authentic, supportive and progressive business culture
