In this role, you'll embody the qualities of a natural connector who remembers what matters to clients and can adeptly navigate various discussions. Your experience in defence, cyber, or technology will allow you to excel in a position that combines Business Development, Account Management, and Client Success.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead market and competitor research to sharpen opportunity qualification and strategic targeting
  • Own proposal preparation and commercial inputs from first draft to final submission
  • Maintain pursuit trackers and pipeline discipline to ensure nothing falls through the gaps
  • Drive client outreach and meeting preparation to expand networks and create new revenue opportunities
  • Lead account planning and stakeholder mapping to clarify client priorities and strengthen engagement outcomes
  • Develop client meeting materials, briefs, and talking points that reflect the quality our clients expect
  • Monitor active engagements proactively, flagging risks early before they become delivery issues
  • Coordinate schedules, resources, and communication between internal teams and clients to keep delivery seamless
  • Track service KPIs, progress, and attendance, providing leadership with clear, timely visibility
  • Prepare stakeholder updates, summaries, and delivery documentation to a high standard
  • Manage existing partnerships through structured research, documentation, and follow-up
  • Identify and assess new partner opportunities to expand strategic capabilities
  • Prepare partnership briefs, meeting notes, and action trackers that reflect professionalism at every touchpoint
  • Prepare weekly and monthly reports that give leadership visibility on progress, priorities, and risks
  • Develop executive level briefs and presentations ready for senior audiences
  • Coordinate conference, event, and engagement planning to maximise value and alignment
  • Review pricing inputs, cost assumptions, and commercial elements to strengthen proposal accuracy
  • Track revenue, utilisation, and contract progress with an eye on risk and financial performance

What You'll Bring

  • Solid Account Management experience within defence, cybersecurity, or technology, familiar with this environment
  • A client-facing presence that builds trust quickly and sustains it over time
  • Commercial fluency — understanding the BD cycle and contributing to it rather than just supporting from the edges
  • Operational discipline — owning reporting, proposals, and presentations without requiring management
  • The ability to work with discretion and precision in complex, sensitive client environments
