Who We Are Looking For
To support our ambitious growth objectives, Crisis24 is looking for an experienced, hungry, and highly motivated Director of Business Development (Director, Risk Solutions) to join our high-performing sales team and drive new business revenue through corporate sales across the UK and Northern Europe.
The role forms part of our global sales function and will be based in either our Bournemouth or London office with a degree of remote working possible. Self-generation of pipeline is critical as is the ability to learn and present platform solutions. The successful candidate will be required to drive top-line revenue growth and play an active role in helping the business achieve its commercial objectives.
It is expected that the successful candidate will have a proven track record of new business sales success (ideally within the travel risk management or an adjacent risk/security or SaaS sector) and outreach and prospecting to corporates in order to build their own pipeline must be a strength. Our holistic service solution(s) can be complex so experience providing consultative-based, solution sales would be preferable as would experience pitching and presenting a SaaS solution.
