Job description

Business Development Manager – Marine Technology

US Gulf Coast | Extensive US Travel

We are partnering with a leading global marine technology business to hire a Business Development Manager focused on growing new business across the US Gulf Coast and wider United States.

This is a true hunter role. The successful candidate will develop new accounts across offshore energy, drilling, vessel operators, shipyards, marine integrators, survey/hydrographic organisations, autonomous vessel OEMs and defence customers.

The business develops advanced technology across precision positioning, navigation, inertial systems, motion sensing, dynamic-positioning reference systems and autonomous marine applications.

What we are looking for

• Proven success opening new accounts and generating net-new revenue.
• Existing relationships across the Gulf Coast marine and offshore ecosystem.
• Experience selling sophisticated marine, offshore, navigation, sensing or automation technology.
• Comfortable selling components or subsystems as part of larger vessel and integrated solutions.
• Strong technical credibility without needing to be an application engineer.
• Ability to work across both traditional commercial marine and emerging defence/autonomy markets.
• Willingness to travel extensively across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and the wider US.

Experience with the US Navy, Coast Guard, NAVSEA, ONR, DIU or defence primes would be highly advantageous. Prior military service is a plus, but not essential.

Candidates with experience across marine electronics, navigation and positioning, GNSS/INS, dynamic positioning, hydrography, subsea technology, vessel automation, autonomous systems or defence maritime technology will be particularly relevant.
