# Business Development Manager (UK)

> Bjak · United Kingdom (Remote) · — · Posted 2025-12-07

**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Marketing

## Description

**Build momentum. Drive results. Scale operations.**

As BJAK’s Business Development Manager, you are the frontline driver of revenue.  
Your job is simple: bring in insurer partnerships fast, activate them fast, and turn them into volume.

This role sits at the core of our UK expansion. You will be responsible for building high-impact insurer relationships, accelerating go-lives, and driving meaningful commercial outcomes. You must thrive in fast-paced, founder-driven environments where speed, clarity, and results matter above all.

### **What You Will Do**

-   **Acquire and activate new insurer partners with speed**  
    Lead the full partnership cycle—from outreach and relationship building to negotiation, onboarding, and integration. You are expected to open doors, move conversations forward quickly, and deliver fast-market-entry partnerships.
-   **Build and maintain a strong, visible pipeline with disciplined follow-ups and zero drop-offs**  
    Own the pipeline end-to-end. Maintain a clean CRM, follow up consistently, and ensure every prospect moves through the funnel with urgency. No loose ends, no stalled opportunities.
-   **Negotiate and close deals confidently with clear commercial terms and fast go-live timelines**  
    Work closely with legal, product, and tech teams to craft commercially sound agreements. Push for fast activation, align stakeholders, and ensure partners can launch smoothly without delays.
-   **Hit monthly revenue and policy targets — not just close deals, ensure ongoing productivity**  
    After partners go live, continue driving volume and performance. Monitor KPIs, optimize partner output, explore cross-selling opportunities, and turn partnerships into sustainable revenue streams.

## Requirements

### **Requirements**

-   **If you need to be nudged, reminded, or handheld — this is not the role**  
    You must be highly self-driven, proactive, and accountable. We expect initiative, not instructions.
-   **Permanent residency in the UK**  
    You will serve as BJAK’s on-the-ground presence, understanding local regulations, insurers, and market behavior.
-   **Min 5 years experience in insurance / fintech industry with strong negotiation & commercial instincts**  
    You understand insurer dynamics, commercial models, underwriting considerations, and partnership structures.
-   **Existing network of insurer relationships**  
    This allows you to open senior-level conversations immediately and accelerate market penetration.
-   **You take ownership, not instructions.**  
    You run your pipeline independently, solve problems fast, and operate with full autonomy.
