About IC8

IC8 is a specialist recruitment business that started in Essex three years ago. Since then we've grown steadily: we now place contractors across Essex and the wider UK, and we've opened a second office in the US.

We recruit for IT, project management, data centres, field engineering and change management, and we supply whole teams as well as individual hires. We're a small, close-knit team and we do things personally: we interview every candidate ourselves, stay in touch with our contractors throughout their placements, and build long-term relationships with our clients.

The opportunity

Our growth so far has come through our network and our reputation. Now we're ready to grow our UK client base, and we're looking for our first dedicated Business Development Manager to lead it.

This is a new role, so you'll have a real chance to shape it. You'll help decide which UK markets we go after, how we approach them and what our offer looks like, working directly with our founders and leadership team. If you want to build something rather than just step into it, this is it.

What you'll be doing

• Finding and winning new UK clients across telecoms, infrastructure, data centres and nuclear (or other sectors you want to push into)
• Building relationships with decision-makers, from project leads to directors
• Meeting clients and prospects across the UK, with regular meetings in London
• Representing IC8 at industry events and networking
• Working with our delivery team to make sure we can deliver on what we sell
• Helping shape IC8's sales approach, target markets and brand
• Growing our existing accounts by finding new opportunities with current clients

What we're looking for

• Business development or account management experience in one or more of telecoms, infrastructure, data centres or nuclear, ideally selling services or recruitment into those sectors
• An established UK network in these industries
• Confidence opening doors and building relationships from a cold start
• Someone who's self-motivated and comfortable in a small, growing business where you'll have plenty of autonomy
• Happy to travel regularly within the UK, with potential international travel
• A full UK driving licence

What we offer

• £35,000–£60,000 + commission
• Hybrid working, based from home with regular co working in Essex or London
• A chance to shape a new role and grow with the business
• Direct access to the founders and real influence over where IC8 goes next
• Regular UK travel, with potential international travel
