We’re Hiring a Senior Business Development Manager
We’re looking for an outstanding Senior Business Development Manager to join DC Byte and win some of the most important prospective customers in the EMEA data centre market.
You’ll own a defined portfolio of flagship target accounts, using your data centre industry expertise to open doors, build senior relationships and turn complex customer needs into significant new business for DC Byte. You’ll lead strategic opportunities from initial engagement through to close, working closely with the VP Sales and teams across Research, Product and the wider business, with the opportunity to sell solutions that can span regions and product suites. If you enjoy winning complex, high-value business and have deep experience in the data centre industry, this role is for you.
Key Requirements
- Deeply experienced in the data centre industry, with strong knowledge of the market, its participants, and the commercial challenges facing customers
- A proven new-business seller who can demonstrate success winning significant B2B deals with large and complex organizations
- Experienced in selling subscription and information services; experience in data subscriptions, research, or intelligence is particularly valuable
- Skilled at developing strategic target accounts, identifying routes into an organization, and building momentum where relationships do not already exist
- Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and capable of developing the credibility required to operate increasingly independently at VP and C-suite level
- Commercially curious and consultative, able to uncover customer challenges and develop compelling use cases rather than relying on transactional selling
- Experienced in navigating multi-stakeholder sales processes and bringing together commercial, technical, and strategic decision-makers
- Disciplined in pipeline management, forecasting, and account planning, with the ability to focus on a relatively small number of high-value opportunities
- Collaborative and comfortable bringing in senior leadership and subject-matter experts to strengthen an opportunity when required
- Based in London and flexible to travel across EMEA for prospect meetings, industry events, and conferences, with occasional engagement across other global regions
