Business Development Manager (UK)

Build momentum. Drive results. Scale operations.

As BJAK's Business Development Manager, you are the frontline driver of revenue.
Your job is simple: bring in insurer partnerships fast, activate them fast, and turn them into volume.

This role sits at the core of our UK expansion. You will be responsible for building high-impact insurer relationships, accelerating go-lives, and driving meaningful commercial outcomes. You must thrive in fast-paced, founder-driven environments where speed, clarity, and results matter above all.

• Acquire and activate new insurer partners with speed
  Lead the full partnership cycle-from outreach and relationship building to negotiation, onboarding, and integration. You are expected to open doors, move conversations forward quickly, and deliver fast-market-entry partnerships.

• Build and maintain a strong, visible pipeline with disciplined follow-ups and zero drop-offs
  Own the pipeline end-to-end. Maintain a clean CRM, follow up consistently, and ensure every prospect moves through the funnel with urgency. No loose ends, no stalled opportunities.

• Negotiate and close deals confidently with clear commercial terms and fast go-live timelines
  Work closely with legal, product, and tech teams to craft commercially sound agreements. Push for fast activation, align stakeholders, and ensure partners can launch smoothly without delays.

• Hit monthly revenue and policy targets - not just close deals, ensure ongoing productivity
  After partners go live, continue driving volume and performance. Monitor KPIs, optimize partner output, explore cross-selling opportunities, and turn partnerships into sustainable revenue streams.

• If you need to be nudged, reminded, or handheld - this is not the role
  You must be highly self-driven, proactive, and accountable. We expect initiative, not instructions.

• Permanent residency in the UK
  You will serve as BJAK's on-the-ground presence, understanding local regulations, insurers, and market behavior.

• Min 5 years experience in insurance / fintech industry with strong negotiation & commercial instincts
  You understand insurer dynamics, commercial models, underwriting considerations, and partnership structures.

• Existing network of insurer relationships
  This allows you to open senior-level conversations immediately and accelerate market penetration.

• You take ownership, not instructions.
  You run your pipeline independently, solve problems fast, and operate with full autonomy.
