This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established global business with an enviable reputation in the defence and security market.
Working alongside a Senior Business Development Manager, you will help grow a defined product segment and, over time, take ownership of that area. You’ll work across B2B and B2G markets, including Government, Law Enforcement and Critical Infrastructure.
We’re looking for a commercially minded sales professional with genuine technical curiosity, the ability to open doors, and the confidence to build long-term customer relationships. Above all, we value drive, ambition and the appetite to succeed over years served.
You may come from a technical background through college, university, the Armed Forces, or from selling technical or engineered products where understanding the technology really mattered.
