Job description

If you enjoy the chase and hunt for new business opportunities, and want to work for a flexible company offering a range of services that save customers thousands of pounds, then we have an interesting role to discuss.

The organisation we're recruiting for is an international business in the security sector, providing a wide range of services, both manned and unmanned, to protect remote construction sites, events, and other situations.

This is a hybrid role based out of their office in NE Birmingham, covering opportunities across the UK. After initial training, you'll be encouraged to meet with potential clients and customers as much as possible, sourcing opportunities and booking meetings. If not out and about, you will be able to spend 2-3 days in the office.

The position is self-sufficient, and over time, you'll build your client base. The role will involve both new business development and account management. The sales process can take up to 6 months, so patience and excellent client management skills are essential. Candidates with experience in selling security or similar services are preferred.

If you're a motivated salesperson comfortable pitching and winning new clients/contracts, and this sounds like a role you'd be interested in, please send us your CV today. If you have the relevant product and industry experience, we will contact you promptly for a chat.
