Business Development Executive
We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a leading IP firm, in their search for a Business Development Executive.
The Role
We are seeking a commercially focused and adaptable Business Development (BD) professional to thrive in a fast-paced, intellectually demanding environment.

- CRM Management : Oversee BD-related aspects of HubSpot, including contact and data management, pipeline tracking, lead nurturing, and reporting.
- Content Development : Support the creation and management of materials like brochures, profiles, deal lists, case studies, and directory submissions.
About You

- Skills & Tools : Advanced MS Office skills, CRM experience (HubSpot preferred), and strong written communication with excellent attention to detail.
- Mindset : Commercially astute, client-focused, highly proactive, and organised.
- Collaboration : Strong team player with the ability to liaise effectively at all levels and navigate complex, intelligent environments.
