Business Development Manager

RAPANUI ,
Freshwater, Isle of Wight
Contract Type: Permanent

Overview

Business Development Manager Who we are Our mission is to redesign the fashion industry. We're a young brand, we love what we do and as a fast-growth company there's always something new happening. We grow fast and people quickly progress, so we pick our team carefully. We're focused, take what we do seriously and consider ourselves the special forces of sustainable fashion. What we do As a company, we develop and deploy our own technologies into the online and manufacturing environment to make sustainability accessible and cool. Not many people know that tens of thousands of companies all over the world use our manufacturing tech to power their online stores, and we have one of the most advanced fashion factories in the world right here on the Isle of Wight. What we can do for you We work hard, but we like having fun too. On team days, going surfing is pretty much a whole-squad operation. We're welcoming, friendly and we don't care if you've not got much experience. We believe that young people are the future and we'll challenge you to be your best, to step up and we'll build your confidence by trusting you to take on big projects - sometimes they're things that have never been done before. Everyone joining our team can expect to be valued, encouraged and celebrated. For the best, there are opportunities to progress - nearly all of our management team are former apprentices or graduate trainees and our training is designed to create future leaders. TeeMill gave me the freedom to choose my own path to success. It provided me with a rare opportunity to work in a fast-paced, fast-growth company, and for someone with a long-term vision, there isn't a better place to be. There is a wolf-pack like mentality - As a team, we're all moving together in the same direction. This is a very fulfilling place to work, where hard work and persistence is seen and rewarded. I was recently gifted with Flying lessons for reaching Christmas targets. - Lewis Blackmore, 19, Apprentice Social Media Partnerships We've grown from a business run by two brothers in a shed to a pioneering tech company that's won a Queen's Award for our work, but our values have stayed the same. What these folk do is great Really nice quality products with the knowledge that their entire operation is ethical and sustainable. They're transparent and honest, exactly what we consumers need more of from retailers. Thanks for leading the way What your day looks like A typical day at Rapanui starts with a team scrum. High-energy, fast-paced and everyone has their say. We come away from it energised and with a clear focus for the day. At lunch, we catch up with our friends from other departments. It's an opportunity to talk about different projects happening within the company and share what we're learning. Everyone in our team is driven by gaining knowledge and skills to progress in their careers, and sometimes it's as simple as having a chat over a sandwich. Our afternoon is about focusing and completing our goals for the day. We go home knowing that our work that day has taken us one step further in achieving our mission of redesigning the fashion industry.
