Head of Business Development who thrives on landing high-value B2B accounts, driving growth, and rolling up their sleeves to get things done to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission mobility - at scale.

About Us

We are WeVee. And together, we’re electric.

We’re more than just a global electric car leasing platform. Our mission is to dramatically increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), helping people and businesses make the switch to zero-emission mobility.

Our flagship EcoMute™ (electric car salary sacrifice) programme, backed by industry giants like Lex Autolease, LeasePlan, Arval UK, and ALD Automotive, helps companies replace internal combustion engine vehicles with EVs. By offering substantial financial benefits to employees and employers alike, EcoMute helps businesses lower Scope 3 GHG emissions, enabling them to achieve sustainability goals while improving employee benefits.

We believe in real solutions for real people, and we’re here to make it easy, exciting, and electric.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a driven professional who’s ready to actively engage with prospects and land new accounts, while laying the groundwork for future growth. You’ll work closely with, and report directly to, our CEO, giving you a front-row seat to shape our expansion. If you love combining strategy with action—and building a team while doing it—this role is for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

New Business Acquisition:

Identify, engage, and win new B2B accounts in the UK, focusing on companies with 1,000–10,000 employees and a strong white-collar workforce. You’ll be the one driving deals over the finish line.

• Direct Client Engagement: Pitch to senior stakeholders—including C-suite executives, HR leaders, and sustainability officers—articulating the financial and environmental benefits of our EcoMute programme.

• Pipeline Management: Build, manage, and optimise a pipeline of prospects in Microsoft Dynamics 365. Track progress, forecast accurately, and maintain detailed records of interactions and opportunities.

• Strategic Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with the CEO to refine our business development strategy, prioritise targets, and ensure alignment with company goals.

• Team Building: As you land accounts and grow the business, recruit, train, and lead a team of business development executives, setting the foundation for scalable success.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Navigate complex sales processes, engaging with multiple stakeholders within target companies to ensure buy-in and successful onboarding.

• Reporting and Insights: Provide regular reports on pipeline activity, sales performance, and market insights to inform strategic decisions.

About You

We’re looking for someone with a rare mix of strategy, execution, and leadership potential. Your core superpowers include:

Your Core Skills:

• Proven Business Development Track Record: Experience landing high-value B2B accounts, particularly with UK-based companies of 1,000–10,000 employees.

• Hands-On Sales Execution: You’re comfortable actively engaging prospects, driving deals, and closing business yourself—not just directing from the sidelines.

• Strategic Pipeline Management: Expertise in managing sales pipelines using CRM tools like Microsoft Dynamics 365, with a disciplined approach to tracking and forecasting.

• Financial and Commercial Acumen: Deep understanding of salary sacrifice benefits and the ability to clearly articulate the advantages to higher-rate taxpayers (40%, 45%, and 62%).

• Client Relationship Building: Ability to engage with multiple stakeholders, build trust, and drive consensus within large organisations.

• Team Leadership Potential: A passion for mentoring and growing a team of business development professionals as the business scales.

Your Soft Skills:

• Excellent Communication: Clear, confident, and persuasive in pitches, presentations, and follow-ups.

• Proactive Mindset: You take initiative, tackle challenges head-on, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

• Resilience and Grit: Determined to push through obstacles and achieve ambitious targets.

• Passion for Sustainability: A genuine commitment to helping businesses reduce emissions and embrace greener solutions.

• Collaborative Spirit: You enjoy working closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to achieve shared goals.

Your Experience

You should have:

• 7+ years of experience in business development, B2B sales, or a similar role.
• A proven track record of landing large accounts.
• Experience managing complex sales cycles and engaging with senior stakeholders.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (or similar CRM tools).
• Prior experience in employee benefits, sustainability solutions, or salary sacrifice (a plus).

Why Join WeVee?

We offer:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonus.
• Health insurance.
• Paid time off.
• Professional development opportunities, including an annual learning grant.
• A frontline role working closely with the CEO to shape the future of the company.
• The satisfaction of contributing to a greener, cleaner world.

At WeVee, you won’t just be joining a company, you’ll be joining a mission to drive the EV revolution. Together, we’re not just building careers; we’re building a better future.
