Business Development Manager - Bristol

Job Description

Business Development Manager

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drives everything we do. Our Commercial team sits at the centre of Deliveroo’s marketplace—shaping how we serve restaurants, grocers, and new verticals worldwide. From negotiating key partnerships to unlocking new revenue streams and crafting data-led growth strategies, we take on big challenges that move the business forward. If you thrive in fast-paced, commercial environments and want to influence the future of a global brand—this is the team for you.

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to join our Bristol team. In this role, you’ll help us sign up the best restaurants across Bristol and the South West, improving our proposition for customers and identifying new ways to fuel our rapid growth.

Get to know our Commercial team — what drives us, how we work, and what you can expect.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be joining the Regional UK & Ireland team, reporting to the Regional Manager. We are experts in the local markets we serve, and this role is all about being out on the road, finding hidden gems, and being the face of Deliveroo in the Bristol and South West/Wales region.

Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

• Pipeline Management: Map, prospect, pitch, and close new restaurants across your region, acting as a city-level expert who knows exactly which spots customers crave.

• Strategic Outreach: Engage with restaurant owners through physical visits, calls, and social media to demonstrate the value of Deliveroo’s technology.

• Seamless Onboarding: Oversee the end-to-end onboarding process to ensure new partners are set up quickly and efficiently.

• Partner Success: Drive restaurant performance within the critical first eight weeks of signing to ensure long-term success on the platform.

• Community Engagement: Attend restaurant meet-ups and stay immersed in the local food scene to identify up-and-coming culinary talent.

What You’ll Need to Thrive

Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:

• Sales & Negotiation: Proven experience in business development or "hunting" roles, with the ability to structure win-win deals for both partners and Deliveroo.

• Commercial Acumen: A strong understanding of the economics of food delivery and the ability to hit demanding monthly targets.

• Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to build relationships face-to-face, over the phone, and through digital channels.

• Operational Ownership: A tenacious, self-motivated approach to managing your own region and taking ownership of partner success.

• Mobility: A valid driving licence and access to a car are required, as you will be frequently travelling across Bristol and the surrounding areas.
