Why this role matters

At Databarracks, resilience isn’t just a product – it’s a promise. As we continue to expand, we need a Senior Business Development Manager who can convert complex opportunities into long-term strategic partnerships and drive the next chapter of our growth. Your impact will be visible in every regulated organisation we support, every enterprise relationship we build, and every client who trusts us with their critical infrastructure.

About Databarracks

We’re leaders in business resilience and disaster recovery. What makes us different? Our people. We’re a collaborative, close-knit team that values integrity, curiosity, and customer care above all. We’re growing fast and we want people who are excited to grow with us.

The role

This isn’t a transactional, box-ticking sales role. You’ll lead complex enterprise sales into regulated sectors including Financial Services, Public Sector, Healthcare, and Legal.

You’ll navigate 6–24 month sales cycles, engage C-level and IT leadership (CIO, CISO, CTO, IT Directors), and position Databarracks as a strategic resilience partner — not just a vendor.

With ambitious targets (£930k ARR, 50% net new logos), you’ll manage a varied pipeline (£150K–£750K+ TCV), lead sophisticated procurement processes, and work cross-functionally with pre-sales, engineering, marketing, and client services to deliver measurable business outcomes.

What you’ll do

Own and deliver your sales plan aligned to our wider growth strategy
Win new enterprise customers and expand existing accounts (land-and-expand)
Close complex managed service deals (£100K+ TCV) in regulated environments
Lead discovery conversations that uncover commercial and operational pain points
Translate technical resilience solutions into clear ROI and business impact
Apply structured qualification methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC) to manage pipeline effectively
Build trusted, long-term relationships with economic and technical decision-makers
Champion integrity, ownership, and customer-first thinking in every interaction

What we’re looking for

Experience and track record

10+ years’ success in complex managed services sales
Proven record closing £100K+ TCV deals with enterprise and regulated clients
Experience navigating multi-stakeholder sales cycles (6–24 months)
Consistent success engaging board-level and senior IT leadership

Industry and technical understanding

Strong grasp of compliance frameworks (GDPR, FCA, SOX, NHS Digital, public sector procurement)
Solid understanding of disaster recovery, backup, business continuity, and cloud services
Familiarity with AWS, Azure, GCP, and complex multi-cloud estates
Insight into why regulated organisations outsource critical infrastructure

Consultative & Commercial Capability

Ability to position managed services as strategic partnerships
Strong commercial acumen across subscription/MRR models
Experience navigating complex procurement and paper processes
Resilient, self-starting mindset with accountability and an ownership mentality
Collaborative approach across technical and delivery teams

What you’ll get

Flexible working and genuine support for work-life balance.
A culture that celebrates curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Opportunities to grow , we’ll back your development and progression.
The chance to make a visible impact on the business and the clients we serve.
A team that has your back and celebrates your wins.
