Business Development Director

Location: UK & Ireland (Hybrid)

Our client is a market leader in data-driven SaaS solutions, providing insights, analytics, and digital tools that support large-scale industries across the UK and globally. Their platform powers smarter decisions, drives efficiency, and supports innovation across a range of commercial and infrastructure sectors.

They’re now looking for a Business Development Director to lead from the front—defining go-to-market strategy, developing team capability, and winning major enterprise accounts across key verticals.

This is not your typical business development leadership role. It’s a career-defining opportunity to lead strategic growth for a fast-scaling tech company, shape a high-performing team, and close complex, high-value enterprise deals.

• Develop and lead a commercial strategy focused on long-cycle, high-value deals
• Manage, coach, and inspire a growing team of Business Development Managers and Sales Leaders
• Design and implement best-in-class training and development programmes
• Build and maintain strong senior client relationships
• Collaborate with Marketing to drive pipeline growth and improve conversion
• Identify new revenue opportunities and growth markets
• Deliver accurate forecasts and market insight to the executive team
• Represent the business at industry events and in strategic conversations

• Proven experience in senior B2B sales or business development leadership
• Background in SaaS, analytics, platforms, or enterprise-level technology solutions
• Success in leading teams and delivering multi-million-pound targets
• Strong strategic mindset combined with a hands-on leadership style

This is a rare opportunity to step into a commercial leadership position with a business that's scaling fast and has a clear vision for growth. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the function, the platform to lead from the front, and the opportunity to directly influence the company’s trajectory.
