Business Development Manager (Chinese Speaking)
Location: Corby (Onsite)
Salary: Up to £45,000 basic performance-related bonus
Benefits: Mileage paid uncapped bonus structure
This role is based in Onsite in Corby, Northamptonshire and does not support sponsorship.
The Company
Our client is a well-established packaging company based in Corby, supplying high-quality packaging solutions across a wide range of sectors. With a strong reputation for service, quality, and reliability, the business is looking to appoint an ambitious and commercially driven Chinese-Speaking Business Development Manager to help accelerate growth, develop new opportunities, and expand market share.
The Role

As a key part of the role, you will utilise your Chinese language skills to communicate effectively with Chinese-speaking customers, suppliers, and prospects, helping to build strong commercial relationships and open new business opportunities.
The position is primarily based onsite in Corby when not attending customer meetings, with regular travel to visit clients across your territory.

Cross-selling across product categories
Successful movement of redundant stock
Overall revenue and margin performance
About You
