Business Development Manager

If you enjoy the chase, the hunt, for new business opportunities and want to work for a flexible company with a very appealing range of services that save customers thousands of pounds, then we have a very interesting role to discuss.

The organisation we're recruiting for is an international business in the security sector, offering a wide range of services, both manned and unmanned, to protect remote construction sites, empty properties, and a wide variety of other situations.

This is a hybrid role based out of their office based in NE Leeds, after an initial training period, you will be encouraged to be out and about with potential clients and customers as much as possible, sourcing opportunities and booking meetings to discuss services. Ideally though if not out and about you will be able to spend 2/3 days in the office.

The position will be self-sufficient, and over time, you will build your client base, at which point the role will be both new business and account management. The sales process can sometimes be as long as 6 months, so you must be patient and use your excellent client management skills to ensure that deals get over the line.

Ideally candidates will come with experience of selling services into government sectors such as local authorities, public sector, housing associations, the NHS and police. However, candidates from security, debt/property enforcement, fire solutions will also be of great interest, as will any experienced services sales professionals with steady careers in relatable roles.

If you're a motivated salesperson happy out and about pitching and trying to win new clients/contracts, and this sounds like a position you could be interested in then please send us your CV today and if you have the required product and industry experience, we will be in touch quickly for a chat.
