Business Development Enablement - Manager

Succeed by shaping what matters

We’re BDO, one of the UK’s largest accountancy and business advisory organisations, helping ambitious businesses, their owners and management teams navigate a changing world.

With circa 8,500 people across the UK and Ireland, backed by a global network spanning 169 countries, there’s lots of knowledge, experience and different thinking to draw on here. But what matters is what you bring to it; your ideas, perspectives - the things you care about getting right.

So, here’s where you come in:

The team you’ll join

Our Sales & Marketing team helps us understand our markets, build relationships and communicate what we do.   

You’ll work with different teams and sectors, bringing your ideas to campaigns, insights and engagement across the business. It’s a collaborative environment where you can challenge thinking, take ownership of your work and see how your contribution connects to the bigger picture.  

The role you’ll have

The Business Development Manager supports planning and delivery of business plan activity within a deployment area aligned to growth and market priority areas, including the firm’s Target and Priority Client programmes where applicable. The role runs assigned business development routines reliably, applies central Proposition/Business Development Packs, supports stakeholder coordination and follow-through, and contributes learning and improvement ideas to strengthen future activation.

• Develop activity plans for assigned routines and workstreams, using agreed templates and packs.
• Consult with the senior role for plan sign-off and alignment to priorities, audiences and measures.
• Maintain clear trackers of what is happening, by when, and who owns follow-through.
• Deliver assigned business development routines, briefings and follow-ups, ensuring stakeholders understand next steps.
• Capture actions and commitments from sessions and support follow-through with reminders and updates.
• Maintain consistent communications and coordination for stakeholders participating in activation.
• Apply central Proposition Packs and Business Development Packs correctly and ensure materials remain consistent.
• Flag where buyer-type nuance, objections or proof-point gaps are emerging and escalate through the senior role.
• Support reuse discipline by pointing stakeholders to existing packs and assets.
• Support coordination with Campaigns, Content, Digital and Design by preparing required information and tracking dependencies.
• Ensure briefs and requests are complete and routed appropriately, escalating when inputs are missing.
• Provide accurate reporting inputs on activity delivered, adoption signals and issues encountered.
• Capture learning and improvement ideas and feed them back to the senior role for adoption in packs and routines.
• Identify delivery risks early (timelines, dependencies, stakeholder readiness) and escalate with clear context.
• Track mitigations and actions to closure.

You'll be someone with

• Experience supporting sales enablement, BD activity or programme coordination in a B2B setting.
• Strong organisation and communication skills with attention to detail.
• Comfortable following structured methods, using templates and packs, and working with multiple stakeholders.
• Comfortable with basic reporting and surfacing issues early.

You’ll have people around you to learn from, ask questions and share thoughts with, alongside learning programmes to enhance your skillset and digital platforms to ease your work. All of this helps you succeed in achieving those big (and personal) dreams.

How you’ll succeed

You’ll have plenty of ways to develop at BDO; you might build deeper expertise in what you already do, take on something new or simply get better at the things that matter to you.

How and where you work matters too. Our agile working framework is designed around our Better Together approach: bringing more in-person time with clients and teams, creating more opportunities to share ideas, build confidence and develop day-to-day.

Whatever success looks like to you, you won’t be shaping it alone. You’ll have people around you who want you to do well, and plenty of opportunities to make it all count. 

That’s how we’ll all continue to succeed by shaping what matters.

Apply now.
