Graduate Business Development Executive

Birmingham City Centre

Full time, permanent, on-site

Schedule: Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm

What This Role Involves

You will join the business development function, working across areas that directly influence performance and growth. The role is structured to give you exposure, but also expectation. You will be trusted to contribute, not just assist.

You will:

  • Work on acquiring and developing new client relationships
  • Support the planning and execution of growth strategies
  • Learn how to manage accounts, budgets, and performance metrics
  • Collaborate with different teams to ensure consistent delivery
  • Engage in client-facing activity, developing confidence and professionalism
  • Analyse results and contribute to improving future campaigns and approaches

Who This Is For

  • Graduates from any discipline who want to step into a business environment
  • Individuals who are unsure of their exact path but know they want to build a career with substance
  • Candidates who are certain they want to work in business development, strategy, or growth
  • People who are motivated, adaptable, and open to learning in a fast-paced setting

What You Will Gain

  • Practical, hands-on experience from your first day
  • A clear understanding of how businesses grow and operate
  • Ongoing training, mentorship, and structured development
  • Exposure to decision-making, planning, and commercial thinking
  • The chance to build confidence in communication, leadership, and problem solving

The focus is on giving you a foundation that you can build a long-term career on, whether that leads into leadership, specialist roles, or entrepreneurship.

Growth and Progression

As the business expands, new responsibilities and opportunities naturally open. Progression is not automatic, but it is available to those who demonstrate consistency, initiative, and results.

You may take on increased responsibility in client management, support new market expansion, or contribute to team development as your experience grows.

If you are looking for a role that gives you direction without limiting your future, and a chance to build real experience inside a growing business, this could be the right place to start.
