The Business Development Manager will play a key role in driving Orbitworks' commercial growth by identifying new business opportunities, developing customer relationships, and converting market interest into revenue.

  • Own and progress sales opportunities from qualification through proposal and commercial discussions.
  • Coordinate with engineering, finance, and operations to develop competitive customer proposals.
  • Prepare customer-facing presentations, proposals, and executive summaries.
  • Track opportunities, actions, and next steps to maintain momentum across the pipeline.
  • Support contract discussions and commercial negotiations alongside leadership.
  • Identify follow-on business, expansion opportunities, and strategic partnerships.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and customer needs to inform business development strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Pipeline Development: Build, qualify, and manage business opportunities across priority customers and markets.
  • Customer Engagement: Develop trusted relationships and understand customer requirements and decision-making processes.
  • Proposal Management: Lead proposal development by coordinating inputs from cross-functional teams.
  • Commercial Support: Assist with pricing, contract discussions, and commercial negotiations.
  • Relationship Management: Maintain long-term customer and partner relationships while identifying growth opportunities.
  • Market Intelligence: Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and industry developments to support commercial strategy.

Must-Have Skills

  • 3–6 years of business development, sales, account management, or commercial experience.
  • Demonstrated experience managing opportunities through the sales lifecycle.
  • Proposal, bid, or tender preparation experience.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills.
  • Strong commercial judgement and prioritisation skills.
  • Experience collaborating with engineering, finance, operations, and leadership teams.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment with ambiguity.
  • International or cross-cultural business experience.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Experience in the aerospace, space, or advanced technology industries.
  • Experience working with government, defence, or enterprise customers.
  • Familiarity with CRM and opportunity management tools.
  • Experience within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
  • Understanding of technical products or engineering-led solutions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
