About the Role

Yolk Recruitment is delighted to be supporting one of our established clients in the recruitment of an ambitious and driven Business Development Manager to join their growing team.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced B2B sales professional with a background in IT, Managed Services, Cloud, Cyber Security, Telecommunications or Digital Transformation.

The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying and winning new business, developing long-term customer relationships and converting prospects into recurring managed service clients.

You'll work closely with business leaders to understand their technology challenges and recommend solutions that can improve efficiency, strengthen security, support digital transformation and reduce business risk.
