With over 20 years of product evolution, Swan is a mature, feature-rich retail solution with high customer retention and deep operational capability. From fashion and department stores to furniture and sports retail, we help retailers run smarter, more connected operations.
Swan is a core brand within the ClearCourse retail division and benefits from dedicated marketing campaigns, SDR support, and strong internal investment.
The Role
We are looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager to accelerate new business growth within Swan Retail.
This is a new role within the team, created to expand market reach and drive additional revenue. You will focus on identifying and securing new retail customers, particularly within fashion, department stores, furniture, beauty, homeware and specialist retail sectors.
While there is inbound support and marketing activity, this role requires a proactive mindset. We are looking for someone who can build their own campaigns, open doors, and develop relationships across the retail landscape.
You will own the full sales cycle, from prospecting through to close, working closely with product managers, implementation teams, and senior leadership to deliver well-structured, commercially sound deals.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Driving new business acquisition across key retail verticals
- Identifying market opportunities through networking, outreach, and targeted campaigns
- Managing the full sales cycle from first contact through demo, proposal, negotiation and close
- Responding to RFPs and structured tender processes
- Delivering product presentations (remote and in person), supported by product and implementation teams
- Building professional relationships with retail decision-makers
- Creating development plans, sales forecasts and revenue projections
- Working closely with marketing and SDR teams to maximise campaign performance
- Accurately managing pipeline and activity within HubSpot
- Meeting agreed quarterly revenue and new logo targets
