We’re currently working with an established and market leading technology and transformation consultancy. They are looking for an experienced AI Business Development Director to drive the growth of a rapidly expanding AI practice. You’ll be at the forefront of the AI revolution, with a specific focus on technologies such as Generative AI, Open AI services, Microsoft Azure, Power Platform, and Co-pilot.
Your role will centre on identifying and developing opportunities where AI offerings can deliver real value to clients across a range of industries. While your primary focus will be on AI, you’ll also play a vital role in connecting opportunities to a broader portfolio – from infrastructure solutions to strategic consulting services.
What you'll be doing:
* Building trusted, consultative relationships with senior stakeholders across client organisations by understanding their business pain points and objectives.
* Articulating how our AI and data solutions address specific industry and organisational challenges, backed by real-world case studies.
* Driving the full business development lifecycle – from identifying and qualifying leads through to contract signature – in close collaboration with technical delivery teams.
* Engaging with the partner ecosystem (including Microsoft and OpenAI)
* Representing the business at industry events and conferences, promoting the AI capabilities and building your network.
* Travelling for face-to-face client meetings whenever possible – particularly during the early stages of a relationship.
What you'll bring:
* 5+ years of sales/business development experience in the technology sector.
* 1-2 years (minimum) of experience specifically selling AI-based solutions or platforms.
* Proven success in selling bespoke software or infrastructure services
* The ability to shape and propose innovative solutions to client problems using AI, with support from technical experts.
* Work with one of the most forward-thinking AI practices in the industry.
* Shape the evolution of AI offerings, from vision to execution.
* Collaborate with world-class technical experts and strategic partners.
* Thrive in a culture of learning, experimentation, and entrepreneurial spirit.
* Enjoy flexible working, competitive benefits, and opportunities for progression.
