Business Development Partner

About the role

This is a head office role, not a per-store field position. Where the Sales Agent role is built around individual client introductions, Business Development Partner is about building larger, ongoing strategic relationships on the company's behalf — the kind of partnerships that shape where EXCITY grows next, not a single job.

It's genuinely commission-only at the outset: no salary, no retainer, zero-hours. Commission is discussed directly with you on application rather than published as one fixed public rate, because it's structured around the scale of what you bring in. Nothing is owed either way if nothing materialises.

The path to salaried

Commission-only isn't meant to be permanent for the right person. Once the role is consistently generating enough to justify it, there's a genuine, performance-based route to a salaried position at EXCITY Retail Support Ltd. To be honest about it upfront: that's a real possibility we intend to honour, not a guarantee, and there's no fixed timeline or revenue figure attached to it — it's reviewed on actual performance, in good faith, as the role and the company grow together.

Written communication, always

Every stage of this role — the application, any discussion of terms, ongoing work — is written: email or text. No phone calls are required at any stage, for this role or any other at EXCITY. If there's any adjustment that would help you do this role well, we're happy to talk about it in writing.

What we're looking for

• Genuine experience building B2B relationships or partnerships, ideally in retail, FMCG or a related commercial sector
• Comfortable working independently at head office level, without close supervision
• Able to represent EXCITY credibly in strategic conversations, in writing
