Application instructions
We’re looking for someone exceptional. Someone who can take ownership of Eden’s B2B commercial engine and help us scale it for the future. We know that the right candidate may not be actively job hunting, so we’re keeping our approach flexible and focused on finding the person who fits both the role and our mission. There’s no fixed closing date, though the need for this role is very alive. What matters most is finding a person with the skills, experience, and mindset to strengthen our team and help Eden.co.uk continue to grow as the trusted foundation of the Eden Group. If this opportunity excites you and you’d like to explore it further, please email [email protected] to start the conversation.
Are you commercially sharp but driven by more than targets alone?
At Eden, we believe business can be a force for good - rooted in trust, integrity, and genuine service to the Church. Now, we’re looking for a Business Development Manager to lead and grow how we serve Christian organisations across the UK.
You’ll take proven solutions that are already delivering real impact - from partner campaigns to premium digital solutions - and scale them further. With ownership of B2B growth and leadership of a small sales team, this is your opportunity to build momentum, deepen partnerships, and expand our reach across the Christian charity and church sector.
You will lead and scale Eden’s B2B commercial activity, driving revenue growth and working consultatively with Christian organisations to shape tailored, outcomes-focused solutions that help those organisations grow support and strengthen their mission.
This is a leadership role with real ownership. You’ll build and manage a strong sales pipeline, personally close high-value strategic partnerships, and lead a small B2B-focussed team. You’ll combine commercial sharpness with relational intelligence, building trusted partnerships with CEOs, marketing leads, and HR teams across the sector.
We’re looking for someone who wants to grow responsibly. Someone who understands that sustainable commercial success comes from serving well. At Eden, we only work with partners who genuinely serve the Church, and we are careful to ensure our commercial activity remains helpful, relevant, and trusted by the audience we’ve built over 20+ years.
If you’re energised by growth, motivated by impact, and ready to take ownership of a meaningful B2B commercial engine - we’d love to hear from you.
