- Maintaining accurate sales forecasts and pipeline reporting, supporting business planning and performance tracking
In addition to selling directly to the Defence market, the successful candidate will also be responsible for building relationships with/selling into System Integrators
In order to be considered for this position, it is ESSENTIAL that you have the following:
- Experience of selling into the Defence market/System Integrators - with a 'black book'/network to sell into (the ability to 'open doors'!)
- Knowledge of the Public Sector - understanding of procurement processes/tenders/decision-making structures in government agencies/armed forces, etc
- Commercial mindset / motivation to earn fantastic money in commission
- Ability to work on own initiative
- Full, clean UK driving licence
In addition to a very competitive basic salary of £60,000, our client are also offering the following:
