02 — The Role

Own the relationship. Drive the revenue.

Sales meeting
Own & Grow Key Customer Relationships

You'll step into a portfolio of warm, established accounts and take full ownership of retention and expansion. These are meaningful relationships already in place — you'll deepen trust, widen stakeholder coverage, and grow annual contract value through managed security and transformation work.

Consultative Cyber Sales (End-to-End Ownership)

This is a role for someone who can sell with credibility and empathy. You'll lead discovery, shape customer thinking around risk, and align solutions to the outcomes that matter. You'll stay accountable from first conversation through to close, and continue to own the customer as relationships mature.

Build Pipeline Through Multiple Channels

You'll build opportunity via a blend of: partner-led demand (Microsoft / vendor ecosystem), MSP relationships aligned to the seller, marketing + brand-driven activity, and targeted outbound (value-led touchpoints, not spam). You'll be supported — but expected to create, progress and convert pipeline consistently.

Account Profile, Revenue & Targets

The role provides access to existing, well-established customer relationships with significant growth potential. You'll be expected to leverage these to build pipeline, drive expansion, and deliver sustainable, predictable revenue growth. The historic benchmark for this position is an annual ACV target of approximately £1.9m.

What You'll Sell (MDR + Professional Services)

You'll sell across two core motions: Managed services / MDR — typically around £20k per month average; and Professional services / transformation — generally ranging £20k–£200k+, depending on scope and complexity. You'll be comfortable landing managed services and expanding into wider programmes and higher-value PS engagements.

Partner-Led & Supported Pipeline

Sales operates within a shared pipeline model, where opportunity generation is driven through a combination of marketing activity, partner relationships (including Microsoft and key cyber vendors), MSP alliances, and seller-led engagement. This model is designed to balance support with individual accountability.

Culture, Collaboration & Performance

The sales team is built around collaboration, accountability, and professionalism.
