We are supporting an established technology business within the public transportation sector in the appointment of a Business Development Manager to help drive continued growth across the US market.

This is a customer-focused sales position combining new business development with the growth and development of existing customer relationships.

The successful candidate will initially focus on opportunities within the mass transit and fare collection market, while also helping the business expand into adjacent sectors, including higher education.

This would suit a commercially driven sales professional who understands how to develop long-term customer relationships and navigate complex sales opportunities, particularly within public sector or technology-led environments.
