Business Development Director
đź“Ť UK Based | Remote First | Travel Required
đź’°Competitive Base + Uncapped Commission + Long-Term Growth Opportunity
Build Relationships. Create Opportunity. Help Shape a Category.
Momentum Global helps technology-driven organisations build global teams they own, not rent.
As the world's only globally agnostic, end-to-end nearshore insourcing partner, we operate across 31 countries, combining market intelligence, local expertise and delivery capability to help businesses scale globally while retaining control, culture and capability.
We're now looking for a Business Development Director to help drive our next phase of growth.
This isn't a traditional sales leadership role.
You won't inherit a mature pipeline or spend your days managing SDR-generated opportunities.
Your job is to create opportunity.
The Role
Working closely with our Founder, CRO and leadership team, you'll build relationships across:
- Private Equity and Venture Capital
- Portfolio companies
- Technology leaders
- Founders and executive decision-makers
- Strategic partners
You'll identify routes into target organisations, develop senior relationships and turn those relationships into meaningful commercial opportunities across Momentum's services.
You'll also represent Momentum at executive dinners, conferences, industry events and other networking opportunities across the UK and internationally.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and developing senior relationships across PE, VC and technology ecosystems
- Creating qualified opportunities through networking, referrals and proactive outreach
- Developing strategic account and relationship plans
- Building and managing your own pipeline
- Attending events, dinners and industry communities
- Working with leadership and marketing to create new routes into target markets
- Helping prospective customers understand Momentum's global workforce, Centre of Excellence, Executive Search and AI-enabled solutions
- Bringing market insight back into the business as we evolve our proposition
Who We're Looking For
Above all, we're looking for a genuine hunter.
Someone who enjoys meeting people, opening doors and creating opportunities where none previously existed.
You'll likely be:
- Highly proactive and commercially ambitious
- A natural relationship-builder and networker
- Comfortable engaging senior executives
- Energised by autonomy and ambiguity
- Comfortable with longer, consultative sales cycles
- Disciplined in managing pipeline and CRM activity
- Motivated by building something rather than inheriting it
Your background could include Executive Search, Recruitment BD, Consulting, Professional Services, Workforce Solutions, Technology or Strategic Partnerships.
PE or VC exposure would be valuable, but your ability to build relationships and personally generate business matters more than your industry label.
Why Momentum?
You'll be joining a lean business at a point where your impact will be highly visible.
You'll work directly with founders and senior commercial leaders, gain exposure to PE and VC ecosystems and help shape a commercial function that is still being built.
We're remote-first, outcome-focused and highly autonomous.
And as Momentum grows, there is significant opportunity for your own role to grow with it.
Our Values
Innovation — We challenge the status quo and look for better.
Community — We show up for each other.
Ownership — We take accountability for outcomes.
Deliberate — We act with intention.
