Job role - Business Development Manager The Business Development Manager will be responsible for identifying, developing, negotiating, and closing B2B opportunities from an India base, with a focus on building export, distributor, retailer, and strategic partner relationships across international markets, particularly MENA and Africa. This is a highly entrepreneurial role suited to someone who is comfortable operating in a fast-growth environment, building from the ground up, and taking ownership of commercial outcomes.

This role requires a strong all-rounder: someone equally comfortable negotiating with senior commercial partners, managing and building an India-based offshore B2B team, reporting to UK management, and rolling up their sleeves to build the operational foundations of a scalable B2B function.
