Company Overview
Our client is a technology business helping organisations overcome one of the biggest barriers to digital engagement. Through an innovative connectivity platform, they enable businesses to improve access to digital services, enhance customer experiences, and extend their reach across a wide range of markets and industries. Operating at the intersection of technology, telecommunications, and digital transformation, the business is growing its commercial footprint and expanding the adoption of a highly differentiated solution that is already delivering meaningful impact for organisations and their users.
Position Overview
- This is not a traditional sales role. The Business Development Lead will be responsible for introducing a niche technology solution to new markets, identifying commercial opportunities, and building strategic relationships with decision makers across multiple industries. Working within a growing business, the successful candidate will play a key role in driving revenue growth while helping organisations solve real digital accessibility and engagement challenges. The role requires a proactive, commercially minded individual who is comfortable opening doors, leading consultative sales conversations, and managing opportunities through to close.
This opportunity is well suited to someone who enjoys building rather than maintaining, thrives in fast moving environments, and is excited by the challenge of selling an innovative solution that requires strategic thinking rather than a transactional approach.
