Job description

Join to apply for the Business Development Executive role at Remote Recruitment .

Job Overview

We’re assembling a dynamic team of charismatic Business Development Executives to launch the WeMerge initiative – a bold new M&A pipeline for acquiring UK-based businesses. This role is ideal for high-energy professionals with business-savvy communication skills and a flair for relationship-building.

As the first line of contact with business owners, your job is to engage potential sellers, open conversations around acquisition, and represent the face of a confident, growth-focused UK enterprise. Think of it as part networker, part negotiator, part charismatic connector. If you're commercially minded, quick on your feet, and the type to win every room – this is your calling.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively identify and engage with UK-based business owners exploring potential exit or acquisition opportunities.
  • Initiate warm, personable conversations that build trust and curiosity around the WeMerge model.
  • Qualify leads and nurture relationships through consultative discussions, not hard sales tactics.
  • Represent the organisation with polish and confidence during calls, emails, and virtual meetings.
  • Maintain accurate, detailed records of conversations and pipeline activity within the CRM.
  • Work in sync with the internal M&A and leadership team to align outreach with acquisition goals.
  • Contribute to an energetic, performance-driven team culture with measurable KPIs.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Degree in business, marketing, or a related field preferred.
  • 2+ years’ experience in business development, consultative sales, or M&A outreach.
  • Excellent verbal communication skills with confidence navigating high-level business discussions.
  • Comfortable speaking with senior stakeholders, founders, and company directors.
  • Naturally persuasive, charismatic, and humorous – someone who builds rapport quickly.
  • Familiarity with CRM tools, LinkedIn outreach, and digital sales platforms.
  • Laptop, reliable high-speed internet, and professional home office setup.
  • Seniority level

  • Mid-Senior level
