Love talking to people? Thrive on the thrill of the chase? Hungry to smash targets and open doors?

This is your moment.

We’re looking for a fearless, energetic go-getter who lives for the buzz of sales and isn’t afraid to start bold conversations. As our Business Development Executive, you’ll be the powerhouse behind our outbound strategy—cold calling businesses, turning curiosity into interest, and interest into opportunity.

You won’t just dial numbers. You’ll make waves.
 
What You’ll Be Doing as Business Development Executive:

Pick up the phone and make things happen—cold call businesses and introduce our offer with confidence and clarity
Spot real potential—qualify leads and lock in meetings for our Area Sales Manager
Build a hot pipeline—nurture prospects, follow up like a pro, and keep momentum strong
Dig into target markets—do the research and identify key decision-makers
Keep it tight—update CRM systems with laser-focused notes and next steps
Collaborate like a champ—work closely with the Area Sales Manager to hand over leads seamlessly
Hit targets. Then beat them. 
What You’ll Bring to the Table:

Cold calling or outbound sales experience—you know how to get past the gatekeeper
A voice that makes people stop and listen—confident, warm, and engaging
Thick skin and tenacity—you bounce back from knock-backs and keep going
An organised brain—track calls, follow up, stay on top of your game
CRM savvy and solid Microsoft Office skills
Team spirit with a competitive edge 
You’ll Absolutely Love This Role If:

You’re naturally persuasive and love influencing people
You get a genuine buzz from booking meetings and hitting numbers
You’re driven, hungry, and never need to be told to pick up the phone
You want to be in a role where your energy and effort have real impact 
Why Join Us?
Because this isn’t your average sales support gig.
You’ll be the engine that fuels our growth, the spark that kicks off deals, and the person turning blank call sheets into packed calendars. It’s fast. It’s fun. And it’s full of potential.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for UAV Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sector has established itself as one of Europe's most dynamic and strategically important technology markets, with roles spanning from junior drone operators to principal UAV engineers and heads of autonomous systems development. With UAV positions commanding salaries from £28,000 for graduate drone pilots to £85,000+ for senior UAV systems engineers, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this revolutionary and rapidly expanding field. Unlike traditional aviation roles, UAV hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by seasonal operations, government regulatory frameworks, and autonomous systems development timelines. The sector's unique combination of aeronautical engineering, autonomous control systems, and data analytics creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in building tomorrow's unmanned aviation and autonomous aerial systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for UAV job applications in the UK, examining how national drone strategies, seasonal operational cycles, and UAV technology initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering autonomous systems team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of unmanned aircraft and aerial intelligence systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for UAV Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry represents one of the most rapidly expanding and strategically significant sectors in modern aerospace, with UAV professionals playing crucial roles in developing autonomous flight systems, advancing drone technologies, and transforming applications from defence and surveillance to commercial delivery and agricultural monitoring. As UAVs transition from military applications to widespread civilian and commercial use, pre-employment screening processes have become increasingly sophisticated and regulatory-focused. UAV careers span diverse environments from defence contractors and aerospace manufacturers to commercial drone service providers, agricultural technology companies, and emerging urban air mobility developers. Each sector brings unique screening requirements reflecting the safety-critical nature of aviation systems, the regulatory complexity of airspace management, and the critical importance of maintaining both operational safety and security standards. Understanding UAV pre-employment screening helps professionals navigate career opportunities effectively whilst enabling employers to identify candidates capable of contributing to UAV innovation whilst maintaining appropriate aviation safety standards, regulatory compliance, and security awareness. The screening processes examine not only technical UAV competencies but also aviation safety knowledge, regulatory understanding, and ability to work effectively within the highly regulated aerospace ecosystem. This comprehensive guide examines the full spectrum of pre-employment screening practices across UAV careers, from basic right-to-work verification through enhanced security clearance processes, technical competency assessment, and industry-specific requirements. Whether pursuing opportunities in UAV design, autonomous systems development, remote piloting, or UAV operations management, understanding these screening processes enables UAV professionals to prepare effectively and advance their careers successfully. The UAV sector's unique combination of aerospace engineering, autonomous systems technology, and operational safety creates screening requirements that reflect both the technical demands of unmanned flight systems and the regulatory considerations of aviation safety and airspace integration. These processes ultimately support the continued advancement of UAVs by ensuring high professional standards and technical competence necessary for safe UAV operations and responsible drone technology development.
