The Role

Reporting to the Head of Digital Growth, you will be responsible for delivering digital business growth by securing new accounts and building cross-portfolio sales into our existing customer base focused on selling OASIS digital products and solutions across Public Sector and Enterprise customers. You will work closely with the digital sales team and collaborate with account managers in the physical information management teams. You will also work more widely with colleagues in the marketing and communications team to identify prospects and create leads and opportunities. By listening to clients' needs, combined with your understanding of records management, you will assess our chances of winning and conduct a rigorous qualification review. Where the decision is to proceed, you will be responsible for leading the development of compelling and differentiated proposals, engaging the wider organization where required.

The Business Development Manager will primarily be responsible for generating, qualifying, and closing new business opportunities for OASIS FileSmart, a Microsoft 365 and SharePoint-based digital document and records management service. The role will focus on helping organizations modernize document management, improve compliance, reduce reliance on legacy EDRMS platforms, and maximize the value of their existing Microsoft investment.

This is a remotely based role with travel to any of our site offices and our clients on an as-and-when-required basis.

Why This Role

This role plays a critical part in accelerating OASIS' digital growth agenda. It offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of OASIS' digital evolution, combining proactive new business development with consultative selling and close collaboration with product and digital leadership. The role provides clear scope to grow, develop, and make a tangible impact on digital revenue performance within a major European services business.
