Enterprise Business Development Manager

The Opportunity:
Nigel Wright Recruitment are partnering with an ambitious, high-growth Data & AI consultancy that is entering an exciting new phase of commercial expansion.

Having built an impressive reputation delivering data transformation, analytics and AI solutions to enterprise clients, the business is now scaling its commercial function and accelerating its growth strategy across London and the South East.

• Identify and develop opportunities across Data, AI, Analytics, Data Governance and Digital Transformation initiatives.
• Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales processes, conducting detailed discovery to uncover strategic business challenges and transformation goals.

• Maintain strong pipeline management, forecasting accuracy and CRM discipline whilst collaborating closely with marketing and delivery teams to maximise commercial success

• Strong experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving both technical and commercial decision-makers.
• Highly consultative in approach, with the ability to translate technical capabilities into compelling business outcomes, ROI and commercial value.
• Commercially astute, organised and self-sufficient, with excellent stakeholder management, pipeline discipline and forecasting capabilities.
