About Our Client

Our client is a large, established international manufacturing group operating since 1980, with two major manufacturing facilities and worldwide customer exposure.

The business manufactures high-quality plastic and rubber components, supplying major global OEMs across sectors including payment technology, home security, electronics and automation.

With strong European growth and significant international ambitions, they are now looking to appoint an experienced Business Development Manager to accelerate new customer acquisition.

Job Description

Working remotely, the Business Development Manager will take ownership of developing new OEM customers across UK and Europe.

This is a genuine new-business position, requiring someone who understands technical and contract manufacturing environments and can turn existing market relationships into significant commercial opportunities.

The Business Development Manager will:

• Identify and win new OEM customers across international markets.
• Develop opportunities across plastics, rubber and technical contract manufacturing.
• Target customers requiring high-quality, engineered manufacturing solutions.
• Open doors through an established network of senior OEM contacts.
• Develop opportunities within payment systems, security, electronics and automation.
• Explore adjacent markets including defence, aerospace and medical.
• Work with customers on technical applications and product requirements.
• Manage opportunities from initial engagement through commercial negotiation.
• Build strategic relationships with key decision-makers and procurement teams.
• Develop a long-term pipeline capable of delivering substantial international growth.

The Successful Applicant

We're looking for an established technical sales or business development professional with:

• Strong experience selling into OEM manufacturers.
• A background in plastic, rubber or engineered component manufacturing would be highly desirable.
• Alternatively, strong contract manufacturing or Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) experience.
• An established network of relevant OEM customers and decision-makers.
• Experience developing genuinely new accounts rather than purely managing existing business.
• Exposure to electronics, security, POS/payment terminals, consumer electronics or similar markets.
• Wider experience across defence, aerospace or medical manufacturing could also be relevant.
• Strong understanding of technical applications and customer-led product solutions.
• Experience developing substantial international or European business.
• The ability to operate autonomously in a remote, commercially driven role.
