As Business Development Manager for our Commercial sector, you will lead new business development across private sector organisations, building Simpson Associates’ commercial presence and pipeline within your chosen vertical or area of strength.
This is a true new business role. You will identify and build relationships with senior decision-makers, open new doors, create meaningful conversations and develop substantial opportunities from the ground up. The role is intentionally open to candidates with strong commercial sales experience across a range of sectors, rather than being limited to one fixed vertical.
We are especially interested in candidates with a proven track record in areas such as Insurance, Financial Services or Retail, although strong candidates from other commercial markets such as legal, manufacturing or other data-rich sectors should also be considered where the track record is strong.
You will bring a strong understanding of how data, analytics, data governance, data quality and AI solutions can help organisations solve meaningful business challenges. You do not need to be the technical expert in the room, but you will need the credibility and commercial awareness to understand customer challenges, shape early conversations and bring in Simpson Associates’ technical and pre-sales specialists at the right time.
This role is best suited to someone who can bring market knowledge, an established network and a strong track record of selling substantial data or technology-led solutions. We are looking for someone ready-made, who can hit the ground running, build a commercial book largely from scratch and contribute quickly to Simpson Associates’ growth ambitions.
