New Business Development Manager

About The Role

We've just reached 500,000 Trustpilot reviews, so you might know AO for our brilliant customer service - but we're much more than that. We also support landlords, charities and other businesses with all their electrical needs.

We're growing our B2B partnerships team, and with growth comes lots of opportunity. Opportunity for you to make your mark and shape this exciting new expansion of our business. If you’re up for generating your own leads and onboarding new businesses, then we want you!

We know we work better when we’re together, so all our AOers come into the office Monday - Friday. We collaborate more easily, have continual conversations, we’re more creative and give better support and all this makes us more motivated and even better at what we do.

• You'll be out there tracking down fresh leads and sealing the deal on public sector business opportunities
• Produce and present weekly, monthly and quarterly performance reports
• You'll be the friendly face of AO, connecting and building strong relationships with a variety of business owners
• Attend exhibition and networking events on behalf of AO
• You’ll be managing tender proposals for Public Sector businesses

• You've got a knack for spotting opportunities before they even hit the radar. With your creative mind, you're always coming up with new ways to grow the business
• Strong commercial acumen - having a sixth sense for business

A Bit About Us
