Business Development Manager

About Social Nucleus

Social Nucleus is one of the UK's leading eCommerce growth agencies.We manage over £30 million in annual ad spend and drive £200 million+ in client sales each year — combining deep creative strategy, paid media expertise, and performance analytics to help brands scale globally.

We're not a "set it and forget it" agency. Every decision is grounded in data, creative excellence, and real commercial impact.

Now, we're looking for a Business Development Manager who can turn that story into pipeline — someone who thrives on connection, insight, and smart outreach.

The Mission

Your mission is simple:

Generate a consistent flow of qualified, high-value discovery calls with eCommerce brands that are the perfect fit for Social Nucleus.

You'll use our thought leadership content, case studies, creative audits, and performance insights to start meaningful conversations — not cold calls or spray-and-pray outreach.

What You'll Do

• Revive dormant leads from our database (tens of thousands of contacts). Build relationships, re-engage interest, and get them back on calls.
• Target dream brands we want to work with in 2026 — using creative audits, Looms, and insight-driven messages to earn attention and build trust.
• Run consistent, daily outbound activity across LinkedIn, Instagram, and email — reaching out to brands daily with personalised, value-first messages.
• Test, track, and iterate messaging — know what angles, assets, and verticals perform best, and adapt in real-time.
• Collaborate with our internal marketing team to request new assets, case studies, or creative support to improve outreach performance.
• Support pitch preparation by researching brands, reviewing ad libraries, and contributing insights to proposals and decks.
• Feed back learnings to the leadership and marketing team — helping shape who we target, how we talk, and what we show.

Who You Are

• A driven operator who loves building relationships and starting conversations.
• Experience in sales, business development, or outreach for agencies, SaaS, or B2B brands.
• Skilled in social selling — you understand how to use LinkedIn, email, and social media to connect, not spam.
• Analytical — you don't just send messages, you track what works.
• Comfortable using HubSpot or similar CRMs for pipeline management.
• Confident communicating with eCommerce founders, marketing directors, and brand owners.
• Ideally, you have a good understanding of paid advertising and creative strategy — or you're eager to learn quickly.

Why Join Social Nucleus

• Modern outbound strategy: You'll leverage cutting-edge creative, performance insights, and a best-in-class asset library to power your outreach.
• High autonomy: You'll have ownership of your pipeline and the freedom to experiment, test, and iterate.
• Growth path: This role is designed to evolve — from high-performing BDM into a Sales & Growth Lead role, owning the entire new business function.
• Proven product: You'll represent an agency with the results, reputation, and credibility to back every conversation.

Compensation & Progression

• Base salary: £2,500–£3,500/month (depending on experience)
• Plus OTE
• Clear progression path to Sales & Growth Lead within 12–18 months

How to Apply

Send your CV, LinkedIn profile, and a short Loom (2–3 mins max) introducing yourself.Tell us:

• Why this role excites you
• How you approach outbound prospecting
• A recent win or outreach campaign you're proud of

Summary

This is a role for someone who's done with outdated cold sales and wants to build relationships the modern way — using value, creativity, and persistence.

If you want to join a fast-scaling, data-driven eCommerce agency and be the engine behind our next phase of growth, we want to hear from you.
