Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager — RF Systems | UK & Northern Europe | Remote

Banner Lane is partnering with an established Oxfordshire electronics business - a specialist in RF-over-fibre and microwave photonic systems for the satellite, broadcast, defence and telecommunications markets - to appoint a Business Development Manager for a UK and Northern European territory. It's a business we rate highly: revenue has grown from £11m to £19m in two years, with the backing of a major parent group alongside the autonomy and pace of an SME.

What makes this search distinctive is the breadth our client is open to. We're not only seeking seasoned business developers - we'd equally welcome candidates ready to make their first step up into BD from a technical sales, inside-sales, applications-engineering or account-management background. Our client places more weight on technical credibility, curiosity and drive than on a finished sales CV, and full engineering support sits behind the role.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Some commercial or customer-facing experience in RF, fibre-optic or adjacent electronics/hardware markets
• A self-motivated, tenacious approach to creating and developing opportunities
• Some exposure to hardware, ideally in RF or signal technologies
• The credibility to represent the business with customers and partners

A competitive base salary, commission scheme, share incentive plan and pension are offered.

One condition to note: candidates require a minimum of five years' continuous UK residency, ideally as a UK Sole National, given the nature of the work.

If this role suits you - or someone in your network - please get in touch with Banner Lane for a confidential discussion.
