Business Development Manager Technical

Business Development Manager - Advanced Sensor & Robotic Tech

Milton Keynes HQ | £40K Basic + Uncapped Bonus (OTE c.£55K Year 1) | B2B Tech Sales | UK Travel

Are you a confident technical sales professional with a background in engineered products, automation, or smart sensing systems? If you're skilled at demos, customer conversations, and building long-term relationships - and love the idea of selling next-gen hardware that helps map, measure, track, and automate - this role is built for you.

We're recruiting for a well-established UK business that partners with global manufacturers to bring cutting-edge sensor and automation technology to customers across automotive, robotics, defence, and infrastructure sectors. Their products help businesses understand, analyse, and navigate the physical world - from high-speed motion sensors to autonomous mapping and spatial awareness solutions.

What's in it for you?

• £40,000 basic salary + uncapped quarterly bonus (realistic £55K+ Year 1 OTE)
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas shutdown
• Company pension, healthcare, laptop, mobile
• Full onboarding and technical product training
• Office-based in Milton Keynes, with UK-wide travel to customers, events & exhibitions
• Long-term opportunity to grow your skills, network, and earnings

What You'll Do:

• Manage the full sales process: from lead generation and demos to customer onboarding and aftercare
• Prospect and grow accounts across multiple sectors including automation, automotive, mobility, and security
• Deliver technical demonstrations and confidently explain how complex equipment delivers real-world benefits
• Maintain your pipeline and activity in CRM; support marketing and supplier updates
• Build relationships for the long haul: you'll be as much a technical advisor as a sales exec

You'll Be a Great Fit If You Have:

• Solid experience in technical product sales - ideally in robotics, industrial automation, test & measurement, or engineering-led solutions
• Background in roles like Technical Sales Executive, Sales Engineer, Applications Engineer, or similar
• Confident with both hunting and relationship development. You enjoy the challenge of opening doors and nurturing accounts
• Skilled at consultative selling. You can guide customers through options and recommend the right setup
• Strong commercial instincts. You understand cost, value, and ROI
• Based close to the Milton Keynes office with flexibility to travel occasionally.

If you're excited by the thought of selling advanced tools that power the future of automation, sensing, and mobility - this could be your next move.
