Sales Director – IT Services / BFSI
UK – Flexible Location
£120,000–£130,000 Base + Uncapped Bonus

We are working with an established global software and IT services business looking to appoint an experienced Sales Director to drive new enterprise business across Banking, Financial Services and Insurance.

This is a genuine new-logo role for an experienced IT services hunter.
We are specifically looking for someone who has sold complex software development, digital transformation or IT services solutions – rather than predominantly SaaS products or software licences – and understands how to sell solutions delivered through a combination of onshore and offshore teams.

The Role
You will take ownership of developing new enterprise business across BFSI, identifying target organisations, opening senior-level relationships and managing opportunities from initial engagement through to close.
Working alongside senior leadership, solution specialists and international delivery teams, you will develop propositions around clients' technology requirements and convert them into significant long-term relationships.
The role will include:
  • Winning new enterprise logos across BFSI
  • Building and managing your own new-business pipeline
  • Selling complex software development and IT services solutions
  • Engaging senior technology and business decision-makers
  • Managing consultative enterprise sales cycles
  • Working with onshore and offshore solution and delivery teams
  • Developing strategic client relationships with significant growth potential
  • Working towards an annual new-business target in the region of £3m–£5m
About You
You will already have a successful track record in IT/software services sales and be comfortable generating your own opportunities.
You are likely to have:
  • Proven new-logo success within IT or software services
  • Experience selling into Banking, Financial Services and/or Insurance
  • Strong enterprise hunting and business development capability
  • Experience selling bespoke development, digital transformation or technology services
  • A good understanding of offshore/onshore delivery models
  • Experience managing complex enterprise sales cycles
  • The ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders
This is not an account management role and is unlikely to suit someone whose experience has been predominantly SaaS or licence sales.

The role can be based flexibly within the UK, with travel to clients across the UK and Europe as required.
