Location:Onsite, Waterfront Business Park, Fleet, Hampshire, GU51 3TW (Within 3 minutes’ walk of Fleet mainline train station offering direct links into London)

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

About Us:

KHIPU Networks is an award-winning and highly successful Cyber Security company based in the UK and Africa. We offer outstanding opportunities for candidates of all levels within a dynamic and flexible working environment.

Founded in 2005, KHIPU Networks’ ethos has always been to work in partnership with customers, to understand their environments and challenges so that we can design and deploy ‘Best-of-Breed’ solutions that enable them to meet their strategic goals.

This New Business Development Executive Role Is NOT For Everyone…

Let’s be honest…

• Do you prefer waiting for leads to land in your inbox rather than going out and finding them?
• Does the thought of picking up the phone fill you with dread?
• Is LinkedIn just…not really your thing?

If you’re nodding along, this probably isn’t the right role for you—and that’s absolutely fine.

If, on the other hand, you’re the kind of person who can create opportunities, build relationships and open doors with confidence, this could be a brilliant opportunity.

• Enjoys the buzz of finding and opening new business opportunities
• Isn’t afraid to start conversations with new prospects, customers and decision-makers
• Knows how to use LinkedIn, email and phone outreach to create interest and build trust
• Gets a kick out of helping businesses find the right technology and services to support their goals

…then keep going. You might just be exactly who we’re looking for.

Who Are We?

KHIPU Networks is a specialist cyber security and networking business with a strong reputation for delivering trusted technology solutions and services.

We work with organisations across a wide range of sectors, helping them solve complex challenges, protect their environments and make confident decisions about the technology they rely on.

Our team combines technical expertise, commercial focus and a genuine commitment to building long-term customer relationships. We’re ambitious, supportive and always looking for people who want to grow with us.

The Role (AKA Where You Come In)

We’re looking for a New Business Development Executive to join KHIPU Networks and help us identify, engage and develop new business opportunities.

This isn’t a “wait for the phone to ring” kind of role. It’s about:

• Identifying organisations that could benefit from KHIPU’s cyber security, networking and managed service expertise
• Opening doors through calls, emails, LinkedIn, referrals, webinars and targeted campaigns
• Starting informed conversations about technology challenges, security priorities, digital transformation and business resilience
• Booking qualified meetings for our sales team and helping build a strong, relevant pipeline

You’ll be right at the start of the customer journey—helping businesses move from initial interest to meaningful conversations with KHIPU.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Making outbound calls and starting meaningful conversations with prospective clients
• Turning cold prospects into warm conversations and qualified business opportunities
• Driving attendance to webinars, events, briefings and customer education sessions
• Using CRM tools to track activity, manage pipeline and keep follow-ups on point
• Following up marketing campaigns, inbound enquiries and targeted outreach activity with pace, accuracy and professionalism

In short: you’ll be creating opportunities, building momentum and helping KHIPU connect with organisations that need our expertise.

What You’ll Need

• Experience in outbound sales, business development, lead generation or appointment setting
• Confidence speaking with decision-makers, even when the subject matter is technical or unfamiliar
• A curious mindset and willingness to learn about cyber security, networking, managed services and customer challenges
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to keep complex topics clear, professional and jargon-free

Most importantly… you need the drive to learn, the confidence to start conversations and the resilience to keep going.

What’s In It For You?

We make sure hard work pays off:

• 26 days holiday + more with service
• Loads of team events & incentives
• Real career progression as KHIPU continues to grow

Final Thought…
