Join RS Group as a Business Development Manager and play a key role in shaping the future of our business. Sitting at the heart of our strategic planning and execution function, this role offers a unique opportunity to drive meaningful impact through smart customer acquisition, revenue growth, and cross-functional coordination.

As part of a dynamic team, you’ll work closely with stakeholders across Marketing, Private Label, Pricing, and Supplier Management to identify high-potential customers, optimize product offerings, and unlock commercial value. If you're ready for a fast-paced, rewarding environment where your ideas and actions directly contribute to success — this could be the perfect next step in your career.

What you will enjoy doing to be successful in this role: 

As a Business Development Manager, you will be identifying and securing new business opportunities that enhance our PPE product range and expand our customer account portfolio. You will actively engage in business development activities, crafting and executing strategic plans that align with the needs of local stakeholders and deliver profitable growth, customer acquisition, and a strong return on investment.

You will build and maintain long-term relationships with key senior-level decision makers ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction across targeted accounts — including major strategic customers.

You will use your commercial acumen to drive growth in revenue, product margin, and customer count, while developing and maintaining great relationships with both customers and PPE suppliers. You’ll communicate progress regularly to stakeholders, identify new growth opportunities, support online customer experiences, and help increase satisfaction (CsAT) ratings.
