The focus of a Business Development Manager is: Lead generation, client qualification, and supporting proposal development by understanding client-specific requirements.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead a team focused upon one of the fastest growing opportunities in the technology market.
In this role you will use your industry insight, track record and your knowledge of the Cloud technology platforms and applications market to acquiring new customers leveraging Sogeti’s market leading offerings in this space and global delivery capability.
We are interested in people who have experience the Mid-Market space of UK&I targeting rapid growth technology opportunities from ‘hyperscalers’ (Microsoft, AWS and Google), competing with native ‘boutique’ system integrators, consulting and service providers and cloud native SaaS technology companies.
As Gen-AI dominates the headlines and leaders demand innovation, our clients require technology partners that can help them unlock the potential of the myriad technology challenges and its opportunities and mitigate its risks and costs. This is the challenge we set ourselves and central to how we go to market with our technology partners and delivery capabilities.

* CRM Knowledge: Familiarity with CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce) is an advantage.
Your skills and experience

* Agility & Complexity: Agile mindset with comfort in handling solutions.
* Self-Starter: Entrepreneurial mentality, adept at identifying and driving own account targets and pipeline.
