Job description

Here’s your chance to take full control of global business development for a cutting‑edge engineering consultancy.

There are no limits to what you can earn - your commission is directly tied to the deals you close. If you’re fed up with capped commissions and political bonus schemes, this could be the change you need.

You’ll be opening new markets and industries, not just managing existing accounts. That kind of freedom is rare and makes for a highly career‑defining move.

And the deals you’ll be working on aren’t run‑of‑the‑mill. You’ll be selling bespoke engineering projects, innovation programmes and grant‑funded R&D. These are long‑term, reputation‑building opportunities that will elevate your commercial standing.

What you'll do

Bring your technical sales expertise to a company that specialises in mobility, EVs, and advanced engineering. You’ll shape the UK and India strategy, build relationships with key clients, and drive growth in high‑tech sectors.

With a focus on new business, you’ll identify opportunities, lead negotiations, and close deals that make a real impact. Your efforts will directly influence the company’s success and your own career trajectory.

What you'll need

• Proven success in B2B technical business development, ideally within engineering, automotive, EV, or mobility.
• Demonstrated ability to win new customers from scratch (not just develop existing accounts).
• Experience selling complex, bespoke engineering or consultancy services.

You’ll also need strong commercial and strategic skills, such as designing and executing outbound go‑to‑market strategies, and being data‑driven with pipeline and forecast rigour. Delivery‑wise, you’ll be a hands‑on doer who personally leads outreach, pitching, bids and proposals.

About the company

My client is a specialist engineering and innovation consultancy operating within the global mobility, EV, transport, and advanced engineering sectors. The company works with OEMs, start‑ups, and innovation consortia to deliver complex, high‑value technical programmes across multiple international markets.

With strong roots in the UK and India and expanding operations in Africa and emerging mobility markets, they are entering a deliberate scale‑up phase. The business now requires dedicated commercial leadership to drive structured global growth beyond founder‑led networks.

You can also connect with me Sharn Lalkiya on LinkedIn (or any other specified social media platform).
