Business Development Manager · Marine Technology & Decarbonisation

Location: North West England or London (hybrid, with regular travel between the two)

The Opportunity

A specialist marine technology business at the centre of the industry's decarbonisation push needs a commercial leader for one of its most technically demanding sales seats. Its previous specialist was headhunted away after building real credibility with owners and shipyards alike, proof of how scarce this skill set is. Seniority will flex around whoever is found.

The Impact You Will Have

• Own commercial relationships across a global gas carrier market, working owners and shipyards to secure a place on maker's lists.
• Step into a business-critical gap left by a departing commercial lead, with room to build pipeline from day one.
• A genuine route to a senior leadership seat, shaped around the calibre of person appointed.
• Turn technical understanding of emissions and gas handling systems into commercial wins.

What Success Looks Like

• An engineer, marine or closely adjacent, who can read a drawing and hold their own on emissions legislation, then sell on that credibility.
• Comfortable running long, complex sales cycles, twelve to twenty four months, across multiple stakeholders.
• Able to win trust on both sides of a sale, owner and yard, in a relationship led market.
• Keen to put engineering experience towards decarbonisation, not another industrial sales seat.

What Is on Offer

• A base salary that flexes for the right person, plus a bonus, from a business that moves fast to secure a specialist.
• Real influence over the commercial function, with upside in scope and seniority.
• Hybrid working with genuine flexibility on base location.
• A mission led business inside a wider group focused on maritime decarbonisation.

A selective search. If your technical credibility opens doors most commercial hires can only knock on, we would like to hear from you.
