Are you passionate about building long-term partnerships, launching innovative products and helping customers embrace new technologies?
We're supporting a market-leading technology business that's transforming the commercial safety industry through cutting-edge wireless solutions. As they continue their international expansion, they're looking for an ambitious International Business Development Manager to play a key role in driving growth across Europe and beyond.
This is far more than a traditional sales position. You'll work closely with international distributors, strategic partners and senior leadership to shape market strategy, launch new products and identify future growth opportunities.
The Opportunity
This is a newly created position, offering the chance to join the business at an exciting stage of growth.
Initially, you'll focus on strengthening relationships with existing international distribution partners, helping them grow market share, improve performance and successfully introduce new products.
As you become established, you'll also play an important role in identifying new markets, developing route-to-market strategies, evaluating potential distribution partners and supporting wider international expansion.
It's an opportunity for someone who enjoys thinking strategically, influencing partners and helping shape the future direction of a growing international business.

Wireless Technologies

More important than your industry background is your ability to build trusted relationships, think commercially and develop long-term international growth strategies.
