As their Business Development Director, you would be responsible for selling online and telephone fieldwork solutions into research agencies, media agencies and management consultancies. Experienced in the industry, you will be known for delivering for your clients and being a true ambassador for your company.

As a sales role, it's not a high pressured targets focussed business but they are looking for someone experienced enough to come in, develop their own strategy and go about building new accounts and revenue.

The management consultancy sector in particular is an area they are keen to develop, so someone well positioned here would be seen as particularly interesting for them.

You will be keen to join their highly inclusive, thriving team and support the business as it continues to expand while maintaining its reputation for intelligent and reliable solutions.
