Business Development Manager Career Opportunity
Our client, a provider of IT/OT Infrastructure, Systems Engineering, and Project Management services for the utilities sector, is seeking a highly skilled Business Development Manager who is a self-starter with a proven track record of consistent performance. The ideal candidate will be a results-oriented "hunter" capable of driving immediate revenue opportunities by leveraging a strong existing network within the utility sector, ideally the electric utility sector. This role offers the opportunity to play a pivotal part in utility grid modernization efforts and to eventually build out and lead a high-performing sales organization.

Business Development Manager Role and Responsibilities
  • Drive new business acquisition by selling IT/OT Infrastructure and Networking Services, Systems Engineering Services (including SCADA and OT 2.0 solutions), and Project Management Services to electric utilities.
  • Leverage existing verifiable connections to secure immediate client engagements and build a robust pipeline of opportunities.
  • Act as a subject matter expert on grid modernization initiatives, effectively communicating the value proposition of the company's services in enhancing grid reliability, efficiency, and resilience.
  • Develop and execute strategic sales plans to identify, qualify, and capture new accounts, demonstrating a "hunter" mentality and proactive approach to market penetration.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal Professional Services and Client Operations teams to ensure seamless service delivery and client satisfaction.
  • Demonstrate strong leadership by developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the sales function and preparing to scale and manage a future sales organization.
  • Build a community of partners and clients, fostering strong relationships and ensuring all projects meet high standards, on time and within budget.
Business Development Manager Required Qualifications and Experience
  • Proven, hands-on experience selling IT Infrastructure/Networking Services, Systems Engineering Services, and IT Project Management Services specifically into the Utilities vertical, with a focus on electric utilities.
  • Deep understanding of electric utility operations, the current state of the grid, and the technological needs associated with grid modernization and the transition to OT 2.0 (Operational Technologies).
  • A substantial, existing book of business with verifiable connections that present immediate revenue opportunities.
  • Proven track record as a "hunter" and a self-starter who can work autonomously to achieve sales targets.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ambition and capability to build out and manage a sales team in the future.
Business Development Manager Preferred Qualifications and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with specific utility technologies such as SCADA systems, ADMS (Advanced Distribution Management Systems) migration, DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems), and digital substation architectures.
  • Experience in developing and implementing sales SOPs and best practices.
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical solutions to a non-technical audience.
  • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and adapt to changing client needs and industry demands.
