Senior Recruitment Consultant @ Anson McCade | IT Recruitment Specialist
Director of Business Development – Data & AI | £130k + 20% Bonus + £5k Car Allowance | London | Hybrid
I’m working on a high-impact Director-level role with a rapidly growing AI & Data consulting business, backed by a global brand. This is a new AI practice with serious investment – and they’re looking for a proven Business Development leader who knows how to sell complex, bespoke data & AI solutions into enterprise clients.
This role is perfect for someone who has already made the move into full-time sales, likely from a consulting or technical background, and now wants to scale something new. You’ll be one of the first senior hires in the AI team, helping shape how this function grows – both commercially and strategically.
Why this stands out:
* Greenfield AI & Data practice – join early and influence how the offerings are shaped and taken to market
* You’ll be selling AI strategy, data platforms, and engineering services – not off-the-shelf products
* Expect to work across existing clients and net-new logos – in sectors like Financial Services, Telco, Retail, Utilities, and Public Sector
* Real opportunity to own and grow a vertical, build out relationships, and become a go-to for AI sales within the business
* Bonus structure is team-based, not just commission-led – they reward collaboration, not lone-wolf selling
What they’re looking for:
* 6+ years in Business Development or Sales roles, with a strong record of selling consulting or IT services
* At least 1 year of experience selling AI, Data or Analytics services/solutions (not products)
* You’ve likely come from a delivery or technical background, but have fully transitioned into client-facing BD roles
* You can credibly discuss trends in AI and spot where value can be unlocked for clients
* You’re comfortable working across the full sales lifecycle – from prospecting through to close and working with delivery
* Strong understanding of enterprise buying cycles and decision makers (ideally across 1–2 verticals)
If you're in a sales-focused role and looking for something more entrepreneurial — where you can have real influence and commercial ownership — this is a rare chance to step into a Director role with both autonomy and backing.
