job description

Yell, the UK’s #1 digital marketing partner, is looking for ambitious Business Development Managers to help local businesses thrive in the digital age. With a 60-year legacy of business growth, we have evolved into a cutting-edge marketing powerhouse. In this role, you won’t just be selling; you’ll be a consultant for local entrepreneurs, helping them navigate the worlds of Google, Microsoft, and social media. If you are a target-smashing “go-getter” who wants a high-earning field sales career with a household name, this is your chance to level up.

What We’re Looking For

Proven Success: Experience in field sales or high-performing telesales.
Negotiation Skills: Confidence in building rapport and closing deals.
Resilience: A positive, “can-do” attitude that thrives under pressure.
Technical Aptitude: Strong presentation skills (SaaS or solution selling experience is a plus).
Mobility: A full UK driving license (maximum 6 points).

As a Business Development Manager, you are the face of Yell within your region. Your day is a mix of high-energy prospecting and professional consulting. You will identify new business opportunities, meet with clients face-to-face and virtually, and design bespoke digital marketing packages—ranging from website builds with Wix to managed PPC campaigns. You will own the client relationship for the first 12 months, ensuring their ROI is high and their business is growing. Supported by a £35,875 base salary and a substantial car allowance, you have the potential for massive uncapped earnings as you help the UK’s local business economy flourish.

The Digital Marketing Ecosystem

In this role, you will be selling a suite of products powered by the world’s leading tech brands:

Search Marketing: Helping businesses rank on Google and Bing.
Presence & Social: Managing how a business appears on Facebook, Instagram, and Alexa.
Web Solutions: Utilizing Wix and other platforms to build professional, high-converting sites.
Direct Growth: Leveraging Yell’s own high-traffic marketplace to connect consumers with local pros.

Why Join Us?

Financial Rewards: Competitive base, uncapped commission, and a car allowance of up to £6,200.
Career Trajectory: Clear paths to Senior Account Manager and Digital Account Director via our Aspire Program.
Work-Life Balance: 23 days holiday (increasing with service) and flexible pension options.
Corporate Discounts: Access to exclusive deals with brands like Apple and British Airways.
Inclusive Culture: A supportive team environment that celebrates diversity and rewards success through the “Gold Awards.”
