Vice President- Business Development

We’re looking for a visionary leader to spearhead strategic growth and drive innovation at the highest level. If you’re ready to redefine our future success, we want to hear from you! 🚀

The VP - Business Development will be responsible for executing the sales strategy on a regional basis by identifying and building relationships with new and existing clients in targeted market sectors.

• Working closely with the operational and key account management teams, coordinate project specific meetings and calls to improve the effectiveness of current processes in ensuring business opportunities are maximized and NES is positioned as a key supplier early in project timelines.
• Leading strategic BD research and reporting related to market and client specific developments, such that project databases and annual sales strategy can be updated or revised in real time, and the NES Global Talent brand is positioned to support new sales.
• Supporting the operations and recruitment teams to transition new client relationships into a successful service delivery / account management mode of operation.
