Build Your Career with Kingdom Security

Kingdom is one of the UK's leading security and facilities support providers, and we're looking for an experienced Senior Business Development Manager to help drive the next phase of growth within our Security Services division.

This is not a standard sales role.

We're seeking a proven security sales professional with a demonstrable track record of originating, developing and winning significant outsourced security contracts.

For the right individual, this role offers the opportunity to join a market-leading organisation, backed by national infrastructure, established operational excellence and an ambitious growth strategy.


The Opportunity

This is a strategic new business role focused on generating and converting major security opportunities.

You will be responsible for building a strong pipeline of prospects, engaging with senior decision makers and leading opportunities through the full sales cycle from initial contact to contract award and mobilisation.

Following your ramp-up period, you will be responsible for delivering a £3 million annual new business target, with approximately £30,000 commission available for achieving target performance.
