You will join an organisation with a strong national reputation, established operational infrastructure, and a people-first culture that underpins long-term client partnerships.

• Identify, qualify and progress high-value multi-service opportunities.

• Work in partnership with the bid team on PQQs, RFIs and complex tenders.

• Ensure disciplined pipeline management and CRM accuracy.

• Deliver structured weekly reporting and revenue forecasting.

• Represent the organisation professionally within industry networks and key forums.

The Profile We Are Seeking

• Extensive experience within the regulated security services sector.

• Proven track record of delivering multi-million-pound annual revenue growth.

• Strong commercial acumen with a disciplined, target-driven approach.

• Executive presence and credibility when engaging senior stakeholders.

• Demonstrated ability to open new markets and build sustainable sector presence.

• Structured, professional communicator with high personal standards.

Why This Role?

• Senior-level influence within a nationally recognised provider.

• Significant earning potential through base + commission.

• Clear revenue mandate with autonomy to shape regional strategy.

• Backed by operational strength and established delivery capability.

• Opportunity to contribute directly to sustained national growth.

This appointment will suit a commercially astute, strategically minded security sector leader who thrives on building high-value relationships and converting complex opportunities into long-term partnerships.
