- Collaborate closely with technical teams to progress opportunities effectively
- Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting and CRM reporting
- Travel nationally where required to meet clients and build relationships face-to-face
What they are looking for
- Proven experience within B2B business development – within R&D Tax is highly desirable
- Experience across the wider innovation landscape or selling into CFOs, CEOs, accountants or senior financial stakeholders would also be highly beneficial
- Strong commercial mindset with a track record of achieving or exceeding targets
- Relationship-led and consultative sales approach
- Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and adapting communication style accordingly
- Proactive and self-sufficient with the ability to build a pipeline independently
