Job Description
Business Development Manager leading restaurant partnerships and market expansion in Sheffield and Leeds. Building relationships and driving user acquisition for First Table’s dining platform.
Responsibilities:
- Own and grow your local market.
- Build long-lasting, win-win relationships with restaurants in your assigned patch.
- Maintain an in-depth understanding of market trends and competitors, using this knowledge to identify new opportunities.
- Drive user acquisition and retention strategies.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams
Requirements:
- Proven experience in a similar role such as business development, sales, partnerships or account management.
- Excellent relationship-building, communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
- Familiarity with the hospitality industry is a massive plus, and your ability to hit the ground running with existing contacts will push you to the top of the queue for this position.
- You don't need to have done this exact role before, but you've got a spark to get someone excited about trying something new and the follow-through to make it happen.
- Be a self-starter with a commercial mindset - someone who thrives in an autonomous environment and knows how to spot opportunities (then go after them).
- A “can do attitude”, the drive to grow with us and flexible when needed to stay connected with a global team (including our New Zealand HQ)
- You're currently based in either the Sheffield or Leeds area, with the ability to be out meeting restaurant partners regularly.
- You have existing right to work in the United Kingdom.
Benefits:
- Flexible working hours and the autonomy to manage your own schedule in this full time role
- Remote-first, but never remote-feeling, with regular coaching and support from your manager and opportunities to connect with the wider UK team
- Competitive OTE (base salary + commissions), plus travel allowance, laptop and phone
- You'll get the best of both worlds: launching a brand-new market in Sheffield while growing an established restaurant base in Leeds.
- Enjoy perks like free First Table bookings, referral incentives, team recognition, and regular opportunities to celebrate wins.
- Being part of a purpose-led, award-winning brand that champions exceptional dining experiences and values creativity, collaboration and growth.
