Reliance is a UK leader in delivering advanced security solutions to high-compliance, mission-critical environments. As part of our continued investment in the data centre sector, we’re now looking for a strategic and results-driven Business Development Manager to accelerate our growth across the hyperscale and colocation space in EMEA.

Accelerate our growth in a high-value market

This is a unique opportunity to join an established and credible business that already has a footprint in the data centre sector — and help us build on that success. You’ll focus on identifying new opportunities, securing major contracts, and deepening our presence within this fast-evolving, high-growth vertical.

You’ll work alongside dedicated internal teams covering design, engineering, and project delivery, allowing you to focus on what you do best: building relationships, positioning value, and winning business.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Accelerating new business acquisition within the hyperscale and colocation data centre markets across EMEA
• Taking ownership of the full business development cycle — from strategic targeting to onboarding new clients
• Partnering with an experienced internal team, freeing you to concentrate on pipeline development and client engagement
• Shaping and supporting Reliance’s broader strategy for growth in the data centre sector
• Engaging across the full lifecycle of key accounts, from first contact through to long-term development
• Operating in high-compliance, mission-critical environments where security and data integrity are paramount
• Contributing to high-value bids with strong internal backing and resources
• Representing an agile, trusted integrator with the scale and expertise to win complex opportunities

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and deliver a structured business development plan across EMEA data centre markets
• Identify and qualify new clients and projects, building a strong and sustainable sales pipeline
• Achieve revenue, margin, and activity targets through focused execution
• Build trusted relationships with end-users, consultants, M&E contractors, and technology partners
• Lead proposal submissions in collaboration with technical and commercial teams
• Maintain CRM discipline and ensure accurate, timely forecasting
• Monitor market activity and trends to refine and evolve our go-to-market approach
• Collaborate internally to ensure a seamless handover into delivery and ongoing support

What we’re looking for:

• A proven track record of business development in the data centre market, particularly with hyperscale and colocation providers
• Strong understanding of compliance, commercial, and operational drivers in this environment
• Experience working across EMEA markets
• Consultative sales approach with credibility at senior/board level
• Highly organised, with strong pipeline and forecast management
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a similar role
• Full UK driving licence and right to work in the UK
• Degree or equivalent
• Background in B2B security, IT, or technology
• Commercial and technical acumen around integrated security systems

Why join Reliance?

• A strategic opportunity in a high-growth, high-value vertical
• Clear internal support
• Active investment from senior leadership
• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives
• Supportive, expert-led team culture
• A chance to shape the future of security in one of the world’s most critical infrastructure sectors
