• Use CRM data, customer insight and market intelligence to create a business development campaign roadmap.
• Set team and campaign KPIs, maintain dashboards, forecast pipeline growth and report on activity, conversion and opportunity quality.
• Work with Marketing, Enterprise Sales, Key Accounts and other internal teams to align campaigns with commercial priorities.
• Guide outreach across phone, LinkedIn, email and events, while building relationships with enterprise prospects and existing customers.
• Ensure qualified opportunities are recorded clearly and handed over effectively to the relevant sales colleague.
• Track sales-accepted opportunities, identify where progress stalls and use the findings to improve targeting and campaigns.
• Develop productive relationships with relevant vendors and product partners.

What youll bring

• Experience managing and developing a business development or lead generation team.
• Advanced, practical knowledge of a CRM such as Salesforce or HubSpot, including database management, pipeline reporting and workflow improvement.
• A track record of improving the accuracy and usefulness of customer and prospect data.
• Experience building outreach sequences, prospecting playbooks and targeted campaigns.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn CRM reporting into clear actions for the team.
• Experience identifying and nurturing enterprise sales opportunities and working closely with sales leaders.
• Confidence using prospecting tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
• Experience with data enrichment tools is useful.
• Clear communication, sound commercial judgement and a supportive approach to leadership.
• Experience in enterprise mobility or a related technology market would be helpful, but your ability to lead the team and make effective use of CRM data is the priority.
