Elevate Your Career: Join Us as a Business Development Manager in our Local Authority/Healthcare division with a focus on the North (M62 region). This is a hybrid role offering you the flexibility to handle your diary as you see fit. While we value face-to-face interaction through monthly team meetings and customer visits, you're in control of how and when you work. Our encouraging environment, combined with autonomy and flexibility, makes this the ideal place for driven professionals to thrive.
If you are a B2B Sales Leader who thrives on forging strategic partnerships, exceeding targets and making a meaningful impact in the Public Sector, then we want to hear from you!
Our division is rapidly expanding, with untapped potential worth hundreds of millions in cross-sell opportunities, particularly within an already established customer base. You will have the advantage of aligning with these customers, many of whom have yet to fully explore our offerings, such as former VM customers who currently do not have mobile services. You'll be at the forefront, crafting and implementing growth strategies, working with Customer Success Managers to develop opportunities, and leading virtual teams to land new business.
Your mission: Hit sales targets, convert leads, and secure high-value deals (typically £500k+). Not forgetting creating compelling customer propositions, gaining internal agreement, and delivering winning presentations that get results.
Ready to make your mark and thrive in the fast-paced world of B2B sales? Join us!
