About the Company
We're partnered with a specialist technology company whose secure, real-time video and intelligence solutions get live information from the field to the people who need it, reliably, even where networks are poor. Their technology is trusted by law enforcement, defence, government, critical national infrastructure and enterprise customers operating in some of the most demanding environments anywhere. A reputation for innovation and customer success has made them a genuinely trusted partner across the public safety and security sectors, and the portfolio keeps growing.
This is a quota-carrying solution sale with real ownership. Reporting into the senior sales leadership team, you'll drive growth across the UK and Europe. You will identify, develop and close strategic opportunities, led by policing and the wider blue light community, and extending into defence, government, national infrastructure and strategic commercial markets.
You'll own the full sales lifecycle from prospecting through solution development, commercial negotiation and contract award, working hand-in-hand with Pre-Sales, Engineering, Product and Delivery. This is a complex, value-led sale rather than a volume or price-led hardware sale.
If you're a proven technology seller who builds lasting executive relationships and consistently beats the number, this is a role with genuine scope.

- Run customer evaluations, demos, proof-of-concepts and pilot deployments, often in real operational conditions.
- Grow existing accounts through expansion strategies that maximise long-term revenue.
- Cultivate strong relationships with channel & technology partners, camera and platform vendors and system integrators.
- Feed market intel back into the business. (Competitors, sector needs, emerging technologies).
- Contribute to bids, framework submissions and strategic proposals, and work with Marketing on lead generation and market awareness.
What We're Looking For
- Several years' experience selling technology solutions (not just devices) into UK policing and blue light, or into defence or government, with a demonstrable record of exceeding targets.
- Experience running complex, consultative sales cycles, selling on outcomes and value rather than unit price.
- Confident, engaging senior decisionmakers within public sector or enterprise organisations.
- Technical credibility in video, connectivity, communications, surveillance, analytics or security technologies.
- Sharp commercial awareness and the ability to build compelling business cases.
- Self-motivated and well-organised to work independently in a fully remote role.

- Existing relationships across policing, blue light, defence or critical national infrastructure.

- Experience selling in European markets.
