I am working in partnership with a long established (over twenty years) provider of manned guarding and associated services. They are high performing holders of Approved Contractor Status and hold NSI gold medal accreditation. Their aim was to provide high quality, bespoke staffed security services to demanding and discerning customers throughout the United Kingdom. They provide a large variety of internal and external Security Options including: Security Officers, Mobile Services, Graffiti Removal, Electronic Security and Remote Monitoring. They have an enviable portfolio of well-known clients that includes educational establishments, hospitals, local authorities, financial institutions, logistics and manufacturing companies, although over the years they have experience in most sectors. They have recently launched a new Cyber Security Training division and I am partnering with them to find a Business Development Manager for this division.
Based at the companys Head Office in Hounslow, the purpose of the role is to sell my clients on-line training courses. The training will inform and educate staff working in an organisation to recognise threats to an organisations digital security, including but not limited to phishing, viruses, spyware, or malware, posing substantial risks, potential reputational damage, operational disruption and legal and regulatory consequences. The courses are sold on a license basis per member of staff undertaking the training, so the larger the organisation the larger the sale value! There is an enormous potential marketplace for this training and sectors that are currently particularly looking to improve their cyber security include the educational, insurance and training sectors, but any organisation is a potential client.
The client is flexible regarding the previous experience of candidates. Candidates with a technical background in cyber security would be preferable but their specialisation could be administration, support or sales. The role will require excellent communication skills as the role will be telesales based. An ability to co-ordinate a sales strategy and an entrepreneurial spirit is needed. Candidates must reside within an easy commute of Hounslow.
Basic salary circa £30k, commission (structure to be agreed), NEST pension and 20 days holiday plus 8 Bank Holidays.
