Seisma is looking for a high-performing Business Development Manager to drive new market growth and build our next generation of enterprise customers.

This is a true hunter role for someone who thrives on opening doors, building senior relationships and turning complex business challenges into compelling technology solutions.

You’ll own the new business pipeline end-to-end — from identifying target accounts and creating opportunities through to solution development, negotiation and close. With the autonomy to shape your approach, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible and measurable impact on Seisma’s growth.

If you’re energised by enterprise sales, complex deals and the challenge of building something from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do

• Build and own your pipeline by identifying target accounts, emerging markets, industry trends and whitespace opportunities.
• Win new enterprise customers through strategic prospecting, networking, referrals, cold outreach and relationship building.
• Lead consultative sales conversations to uncover customer challenges and position tailored ICT and technology solutions.
• Build trusted relationships with C-suite executives, senior decision-makers and key stakeholders.
• Develop and execute go-to-market strategies that expand Seisma’s market presence, customer base and revenue.
• Own the end-to-end sales cycle, from qualification and solution development through proposals, RFPs, commercial negotiations and deal closure.
• Partner with our technical and delivery teams to develop high-value, customer-focused solutions.
• Provide clear pipeline and sales forecasting, alongside market intelligence and competitive insights.
• Identify strategic account growth opportunities and develop long-term customer partnerships.

What you’ll bring

• Proven success in new business development or enterprise sales within ICT, technology services or a related environment.
• A strong track record of winning new customers and delivering against sales targets.
• Solid understanding of technology services, ideally across areas such as SaaS, AI, cloud/infrastructure and/or cybersecurity.
• Confidence engaging with C-suite executives and senior business stakeholders.
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, presentation and stakeholder management skills.
• A self-directed, commercially driven and highly motivated approach.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to translate complex technology into clear business value.
• Experience using CRM platforms such as Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, ICT or a related discipline is desirable.
