We have been seeking an experienced Business Development Manager for some time; however, despite previous recruitment efforts, we have been unsuccessful in securing a suitable candidate. This role is critical to the continued expansion of the Systems division and will be responsible for generating new business opportunities, developing customer relationships and increasing revenue across target sectors. The successful candidate will work closely with the CSO to develop growth strategies while delivering end-to-end sales solutions, from lead generation and system design through to quotation, presentation, project handover and ongoing client relationship oversight. Given the specialist nature of the role, applicants must possess a combination of proven business development experience and technical systems knowledge, including the ability to design and quote fire and security system solutions. The current market for experienced Systems BDMs remains competitive, making this a difficult role to fill through standard recruitment methods. Approval is therefore requested to recruit externally for this permanent vacancy to ensure Kingdom Systems can attract the specialist expertise required to support its growth ambitions across the South East region.
