Frome, Somerset, United Kingdom Rank My WP Full time

Business Development Executive – Defence

Bristol, Beckington or Barnstaple based (with a mix of office and home-based working)

Salaries up to £70,000 per annum DEO + Bonus

We are SEA.
Engineered to protect. We protect what matters - our nations, our waters, our land, our cities, our people, our environment, our world.

Join us.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a high performing team and to play a part in SEA's ambitious growth plans. The purpose of this role is to secure business across SEA's UK and international defence portfolio both on the government side and with industry primes. In alignment with SEA's core market, this would predominantly be around naval systems, but expansion into other areas such as land and air would be advantageous. The successful candidate would be expected to have existing strong relationships in these areas and a track record of securing new opportunities.

The successful applicant will be an experienced business development executive or capture manager with a successful track record in developing & winning new business with government agencies, prime contractors, and system integrators within the defence environment. This role is predominantly maritime focused, but an ability to work into and develop relationships with European defence ministries, procurement agencies, prime contractors, and defence research agencies to understand existing and emerging requirements would be an advantage, as would a knowledge and experience of other domains (land, air).

  • Provide timely pipeline updates and inputs into the IBP Order-Reviews forecast and provide regular communication and briefing on developing opportunities to the business.
