Job description

About us

At Environment Bank, we’re working together to help restore natural habitats across England. With thousands of acres of new habitat creation already underway, our projects are delivering biodiversity gains and helping vital ecosystems to recover and flourish.

Our diverse team includes ecologists, land managers, habitat specialists, geospatial analysts, planning advisors, account managers, digital creatives, legal experts, and more.

From our habitat specialists to our sales and marketing teams, everyone at Environment Bank is a champion for our values, working towards our goal of reversing biodiversity loss.

Environment Bank is a market-leading organisation in a sector that’s experiencing rapid growth. We’ve already built a highly skilled team of experts and we’re actively looking to expand our team in the coming months.

We’re incredibly proud of all we achieved so far and we’re still growing. If you’d like to be part of a driven organisation that’s making a real difference, find your next role with the team at Environment Bank.

About the role

We’re looking for a driven and strategic individual to grow, nurture, and expand sales of BNG Units for Environment Bank, focusing on a defined portfolio of Strategically Important Accounts (Developers).

You’ll build a strong business pipeline and play a key role in delivering Environment Bank’s growth strategy by meeting ambitious sales targets. This is an exciting opportunity to work with some of the UK’s most influential land developers on nationally significant projects.

High performers will have the chance to shape our strategic account plans and may progress into a leadership role following a period of trust-building and consistent, high-quality delivery.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide expert consultation to help prospective customers meet their BNG requirements at both project and organisational levels.
  • Own the full sales cycle—from initiating relationships and qualifying opportunities to scoping, pipeline management, and closing deals.
  • Use a consultative sales approach to build strategic, long-term relationships with new and existing clients.
  • Identify and develop new business opportunities within your account portfolio over the short and medium term.
  • Drive growth within each account through a proactive, multi-threaded engagement strategy.
  • Collaborate closely with the Partnerships team, Senior Leadership, and other Sales functions to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and Environment Bank.
