• Develop new opportunities through targeted prospecting, outbound campaigns, cross-selling, and follow-up on leads from marketing, webinars, training, events, website inquiries, and referrals.
• Research target organizations and decision-makers, re-engage selected prospects, and build a qualified pipeline across DNV’s ICT assurance portfolio.
• Develop knowledge of DNV’s ICT assurance and training services, monitor market developments, and contribute to sales messaging and campaign ideas.

• Qualify client needs, priorities, stakeholders, timing, and commercial potential, and manage opportunities from initial contact through proposal and closing.

• Coordinate proposals, pricing input, internal approvals, client follow-up, and responses to client inquiries and formal requests.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, clear next steps, and timely pipeline and forecast updates, and coordinate successful handoffs to delivery teams.

• Work with account managers, industry sales teams, and experienced ICT sales colleagues to develop opportunities, including strategic, integrated, multi-site, or more complex engagements.

You are commercially motivated, organized, and interested in developing your career in cybersecurity and digital assurance. You are comfortable initiating conversations, asking thoughtful questions, following up consistently, and explaining services in practical business language.

You will collaborate with ICT leadership, sales colleagues, account managers, marketing professionals, technical specialists, auditors, and delivery teams. You take ownership of your work and know when to involve additional commercial or technical expertise.
