• Supporting contract renewals, pricing agreements, and service level agreements to ensure client satisfaction and profitability
• Acting as a trusted advisor to key accounts, helping shape their security strategies

The Fit

We’re looking for someone who is as comfortable in the boardroom as they are out in the field – a confident communicator, strategic thinker, and natural relationship builder. You’ll have the drive to pursue new opportunities, the resilience to overcome challenges, and the vision to identify where Gallagher can create unique value.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven track record in business development, sales, or account management (security, IT, or technology sectors preferred)
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to negotiate and close complex deals
• Experience working with enterprise-level clients and managing long sales cycles
• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills
• Strategic mindset with the ability to balance short-term wins and long-term growth
• Familiarity with tender processes, RFI/RFQ responses, and solution-based selling
• Ability to work independently from a home office and travel extensively across the UK North region

Why Gallagher?

We offer:

• Full personal use of a company vehicle
• Competitive salary and bonus opportunities
• Strong team spirit – enjoy social activities, team-building events, and team lunches throughout the year
• A sustainability programme – get involved in volunteering with our supported charities and make a difference
