Business Development Consultant

Exceptional opportunities occasionally emerge that redefine an established market.

This is one of them.

Our client has developed a highly secure communications platform that combines a security appliance with sophisticated software to deliver truly confidential business communications. Designed to eliminate many of the vulnerabilities associated with conventional email, messaging and file-sharing systems, the platform enables organisations to communicate with complete confidence, protected against malware, ransomware, phishing attacks and other cyber threats.

Unlike conventional cyber security products, this is mission-critical communications infrastructure and has received military grade verification.

Once deployed, organisations are able to communicate securely throughout their own business ecosystem, creating significant additional opportunities as clients, advisers, suppliers and commercial partners adopt the platform.

The initial engagement is typically at SME level of 50 employees, with contract values frequently exceeding £1 million. A single implementation within a legal services firm, private bank or professional services organisation can generate substantial follow-on business as secure communications are extended across its wider client and partner network.

This opportunity is aimed at a select number of commercially accomplished consultants who possess the credibility, presence and relationships required to engage successfully with Board-level decision makers. Experience working with Chief Executives, Managing Partners, Managing Directors, CIOs, CISOs and other senior executives within large private sector organisations will be essential.

The ideal consultant will have an established track record of securing high-value technology engagements, ideally exceeding £500,000, together with a strong understanding of the commercial value of cyber security and secure communications.

The role is not about presenting technical solutions but about opening doors, creating strategic conversations and introducing qualified opportunities. 

Technical specialists will support the sales process from that point onwards.

The primary markets include law firms, accountancy practices, private banks, private equity organisations, investment firms, trading companies and other businesses where confidentiality, trust and the protection of commercially sensitive information are paramount.

With typical projects valued at around £1+ million, the opportunity exists to generate substantial six-figure commission earnings while representing a genuinely differentiated solution with no direct competition.

Our solution is sold on a monthly subscription basis and Consultants will receive

• 20% commission on year one revenue
• 15% on year two revenue
• 10% on subsequent years revenues generated

A typical project will reward Consultants with circa £150-£200K over the three-year contract. The rewards for successful Consultants are exceptional.

To apply for this role you MUST be able to demonstrate a proven track record of securing high-value opportunities through engaging with CEOs, Managing Directors, CIOs and other Board-level executives.

This is a commission-only position.
