Business Development Manager - Security Technology

We are retained by one of the world's most respected names in precision technology to appoint a Business Development Manager/Sales Specialist for the UK and Ireland. This is a rare opportunity to join a global business with 15,000+ employees and €3bn+ turnover at the start of a deliberate market expansion, with a genuinely differentiated product and a strong revenue foundation already in place.

The opportunity

The product is a next-generation security system with a capability that goes well beyond anything currently deployed at scale in the UK market. It is already proven in the most highly regulated security environments globally, and the business is now expanding into new verticals.

The business has an established and well-performing book of business in a highly regulated, established vertical and has recently secured a major new customer in an adjacent sector, a significant milestone that is opening the door to a broader range of high-value accounts. The mandate for this role is to build on that momentum and develop new business across a wider range of security-focused sectors throughout the UK and Ireland.
