Job description

The Role:

We’re looking for a highly motivated, hunter-style Business Development Specialist to join Keyrus UK and drive new business growth across data analytics, AI, cloud, and digital innovation projects.

You will be instrumental in expanding our footprint in the Financial Services & Insurance sector and beyond, focusing on outbound prospecting, new logo acquisition, and pipeline acceleration.

• Target start date: February 2026
• Hybrid model - 2 days at Canary Wharf - Office

Responsibilities:

• Identify and actively pursue new sales opportunities aligned with Keyrus’ strategic growth objectives across data analytics, data management, data science, AI and cloud/digital projects.
• Build, manage, and maintain a robust outbound sales pipeline, leveraging the best tools and outreach strategies to engage and qualify prospects.
• Establish and nurture high-value relationships with senior client stakeholders and industry influencers, positioning Keyrus as a trusted partner in data and digital innovation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams, including consulting and delivery, to uncover new business opportunities and tailor solutions that meet client needs.
• Work closely with key technology partners (Alteryx, Snowflake, Databricks, Qlik, Tableau, AWS, Microsoft) to generate leads, co-sell, and deepen market presence.

What we’re looking for in our applicants:

• Understanding of IT and data & digital innovation technologies and their application in solving complex business challenges.
• Strong communication skills and confidence in engaging with senior decision-makers, especially in Financial Services & Insurance (FS&FI / FIS).
• Proactive and strategic thinker, able to uncover client needs and align Keyrus.
• Experience with CRM tools like Salesforce is a plus, but not required.
