Position: New Business Manager (BU Lead)

New Business Manager (BU Lead) Role Purpose

This role exists to embed strong commercial execution directly into each Business Unit at Ello Technology. As a New Business Manager (BU Lead), you are responsible for ensuring that all technical work is translated into accurate, profitable, and fully captured revenue. You lead the commercial function within your BU — owning quoting, procurement, invoicing, and revenue integrity — while enabling the BU to operate as a complete, decentralised unit.

This is not a traditional “sales manager” role. It is a commercial leadership role for someone who understands both revenue and operations. Your success will be measured by margin protection, revenue accuracy, and the elimination of leakage across the entire commercial process.

Your First 90 Days What Success Looks Like

By Day 90:

  • Fully running the quoting, procurement, and invoicing cycle for your Business Unit
  • Consistently delivering ≥99% accuracy across quotes and invoices
  • Eliminated revenue leakage, missing line items, and billing inconsistencies
  • Maintaining strong commercial discipline across stock, licensing, and billing
  • Reducing billing queries and improving cashflow consistency
  • Your Business Unit operating with clean, structured, and reliable commercial processes

This role suits someone who takes ownership of revenue, accuracy, and execution from day one.

Targets and Performance Measures How Performance Is Measured

This role has clear financial, operational, and compliance performance expectations set at Business Unit level. You will be measured on your ability to convert technical scope into profitable revenue, maintain high levels of accuracy, and ensure clean commercial execution across all processes.

Key performance indicators include:

  • Quote value produced and revenue generated within the BU
  • Once-off project GP invoiced and assessment-to-project conversion value
  • Margin protection and pricing discipline
  • Quote and invoice accuracy (target ≥99%)
  • Reduction in billing queries and improved resolution times
  • Stock allocation accuracy and zero shrinkage
  • Zoho Books accuracy and system hygiene (target ≥99%)
  • SOP compliance and audit readiness (target ≥95–98%)

This is a performance-driven role where accuracy, discipline, and commercial ownership are critical.

Key Responsibilities

  • Tracking lead times and proactively managing delays

    Receiving and recording stock accurately
  • Allocating stock to jobs, clients, and engineers with full accountability
  • Maintaining zero shrinkage and full traceability of stock
3) Invoicing and Revenue Capture

You will ensure that all revenue is accurately invoiced and fully captured.

This includes:

  • Issuing accurate invoices for once‑off and recurring services
  • Ensuring invoices match approved quotes, delivered work, and agreed pricing
  • Eliminating missed billing, omissions, or incorrect line items
  • Supporting collections through complete and audit‑ready documentation
4) Commercial Process Ownership within the BU

You will ensure that your Business Unit operates with strong commercial discipline.
