Job description

Our client is a cutting-edge technology business with electronics, software, and data-led products. They have an enviable client bank and great products and want to appoint a Business Development Manager to bring in new revenue for the company from target clients they do not already deal with. It is important that you have knowledge of a technical product and experience managing a technical sales cycle, often interacting with technical staff rather than procurement professionals, and that you can hunt out new business opportunities from a standing start. This role is all about new business sales: you need to be able to find and convert new opportunities. The product range you have is market-leading and fairly priced. It's a simple sale once in front of the right person. The hard part is getting in front of them to start with. On offer is an excellent base salary and benefits package and long-term, stable employment for a market-leading technology business with a great R&D team.


Business Development Manager - Role and Responsibilities
  1. Establish and maintain relationships with prospective customers
  2. Communicate new product propositions to prospective customers
  3. Plan, prepare and deliver responses (inclusive of presentations) to prospective customers
  4. Maintain Customer Relationship Management database and produce a monthly sales report
  5. Promote and develop corporate image and reputation and contribute to overall business development plan
  6. Maintain extensive knowledge of current market conditions and provide the Managing Director with market activity feedback

Business Development Manager - Skills and Abilities
  1. Experience selling advanced technology and complex engineered systems to engineers
  2. Proven track record in a technical sales role within an engineering market sector. Often you'll liaise directly with other engineers (and purchasing and leadership posts sometimes too)
  3. Excellent proposal presentation skills
  4. Confident working in an autonomous role (you'll get supported but will be relied on to be the self-starter the team needs)
  5. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to interact with customers and colleagues at all levels
