About Flat Rock Technology
Flat Rock Technology is an established global technology services business with over 18 years' experience helping organisations solve complex technology challenges.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an experienced, well-connected Business Development Manager with an established network of CTOs, CIOs, CEOs, and senior technology leaders across the UK.
Your network is key. We want someone who already has strong relationships with CTOs, CIOs, CEOs, Heads of Technology, and other senior decision-makers - and is comfortable picking up the phone, calling their contacts, and opening doors.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to wait for inbound leads. You'll be expected to use your network, create conversations, identify opportunities, and win new business.
You'll have the opportunity to build a new revenue stream while being backed by an established international technology business with the technical expertise and delivery capability already in place.
About the Role
As Strategic Business Development Manager, you'll be responsible for generating and growing consulting revenue across the UK.
Working alongside our leadership team, you'll introduce clients to senior consultants and advisory specialists across areas including:
- Data & AI
- Databricks
- Snowflake
- Cloud Transformation
- DevOps
- Platform Engineering
- Enterprise Architecture
- Software Engineering
- ERP & CRM Transformation
- Cyber Security
- Technology Leadership
- Fractional CIO / CTO / Chief Architect services
Your focus will be on understanding client challenges and introducing the right expertise quickly, helping organisations accelerate business-critical initiatives.

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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Use your existing network to generate new consulting opportunities.
- Proactively call and engage CTOs, CIOs, CEOs, and senior technology leaders.
- Build a strong pipeline of new business opportunities.
- Understand client challenges and introduce the right technology expertise.
- Sell consulting and advisory engagements across areas such as Data & AI, Cloud, DevOps, Software Engineering, Cyber Security, and Enterprise Architecture.
- Own opportunities from initial conversation through to commercial agreement.
- Build trusted relationships that generate repeat business and account growth.
- Work closely with our CEO, Commercial Director, Marketing, and technical teams.
- Help shape and grow Flat Rock’s Technology Consulting proposition.
About You
We’re looking for a natural business developer and relationship builder who already knows the UK technology market.
You will ideally have:
- A strong existing network of CTOs, CIOs, CEOs, and senior technology decision-makers.
- At least 5 years’ experience in technology consulting, professional services, or technology solutions sales.
- A demonstrable track record of winning new business.
- The confidence to pick up the phone and turn existing relationships into commercial conversations.
- Experience selling consulting, professional services, or complex technology solutions.
- Strong C-level communication and commercial negotiation skills.
- A proactive, entrepreneurial approach — you enjoy opening doors and creating opportunities rather than waiting for leads.
Experience selling services across Data & AI, Cloud, Databricks, Snowflake, DevOps, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, or technology transformation would be an advantage.
