Internal collaboration: Working closely with bid, pricing, marketing, and account management teams to develop compelling proposals and ensure alignment on strategy and delivery.
Commercial delivery & market presence: Leading negotiations, updating CRM and forecasts, and representing the business at events or partner meetings to strengthen relationships and spot new growth opportunities.

WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU?

Proven sales performance: A strong track record of winning new business, growing accounts, and consistently exceeding targets in a B2B, public sector, or regulated environment.
Commercial and market expertise: Confidence in leading negotiations, building pricing strategies, and navigating complex bids, with an understanding of public sector procurement and utility/service markets.
Relationship-building skills: The ability to build trust quickly with customers, partners, and internal teams, and to influence senior stakeholders through clear, compelling communication.
Drive, curiosity and resilience: A proactive, self-starting mindset with the energy to prospect, solve problems, spot opportunities, and continuously improve how you deliver results.
