What matters most is someone who is commercially driven, confident opening new accounts, and comfortable selling technically credible communication solutions to senior decision-makers.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a telecoms-focused BDM looking to step into a role with autonomy, strong earning potential, and a product set that has long-term demand across multiple high-value sectors.
