We are looking for a Business Development Manager to join our growing team of like-minded tech people. You'll be generating new opportunities and clients for the business, leveraging your network and expertise to drive growth. Should you choose to accept, your responsibilities will encompass:

You'll need to balance the strategic aspects of business development with hands-on administration, including precise database management and weekly reporting on outbound activity.
