Field-based Business Development Manager needed to grow deister's intelligent key and asset management solutions working directly with end-user organisations across a range of industries. You will build relationships with the people who buy and operate these solutions — facilities, security and procurement teams inside organisations of all kinds.

For almost 40 years, deister has been at the forefront of the UK security sector. As a specialist design and manufacturing company based in Lincolnshire, we develop class-leading solutions trusted across critical infrastructure and industry, from intelligent key and asset management to GovPass-compliant access control and long-range vehicle identification. We are an independent, family-owned business with global reach, built on innovation, value engineering and trust.
What you will be doing
- Identifying and winning new business opportunities directly with end-user organisations, with focus on the corporate and public sector
- Building relationships with key stakeholders such as Heads of Security, Facilities Management, IT and Procurement, across a range of industries
- Navigating public sector procurement processes, tenders and frameworks to secure new contracts
- Understanding organisational security requirements and delivering consultative, solution-based proposals
- Representing deister at client meetings, industry events and exhibitions
- Creating structured account plans to support sustained business development across the UK
- Maintaining accurate CRM records and forecasting to support pipeline management
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
