Business Development Manager (12 month FTC)

The company

Established in 1873 as a Bradford-based hospital fund, Sovereign Health Care has been helping people for over 140 years. Today, Sovereign is one of the UK’s leading cash plan providers, and it still stands by the original principle of a hospital fund – to support people when they need to access health care. In fact, supporting people is still at the heart of everything we do.

Last year alone, we paid out £7.2 million in claims to our customers and, because we have no shareholders, any surplus profit is reinvested or awarded to community or charitable initiatives. In the last 8 years over £5 million has been donated to health and wellbeing good causes.

The role

This new field-based role is integral to expanding our reach in the employee paid market; we are therefore seeking a business development professional with a proven track record of securing major business wins.

A key element of the role is to make and attend your own B2B appointments, therefore it is essential that you are accomplished at sourcing and developing leads within the Yorkshire business community, utilising experience to seek referrals, and a strong relationship builder.

Success will be the delivery of new cash plan sales, via our worksite sales team, from the corporate distribution channels you secure.

The person

We’re looking for a resilient, tenacious self-starter with a positive attitude and a drive to succeed. You will be a great communicator and problem solver; with an inquisitive mind, you can think on your feet and anticipate obstacles to present appropriate solutions.

Please note

If your application meets our minimum criteria, we will contact you to discuss the opportunity in more detail within three working days of receiving your application. Should you not hear from us within this timescale, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

In the meantime, we would like to thank you for your interest in Sovereign Health Care.
