Executive jobs in United Kingdom

We are Kocho. At Kocho, we believe greatness lies in everyone and we exist to help ambitious companies realise their full potential by turning technology into real business advantage. Were an award-winning Microsoft partner with over 20 years of experience in Cloud, Identity, Security and Managed Services; combining deep technical expertise with a people-centred approach to transformation. We work with organisations to modernise securely, optimise technology performance, and grow efficiently, helping them adopt the right solutions at the right time and achieve sustainable outcomes. From Cloud Transformation and Identity Management to robust Security Operations and ongoing Managed IT support; our services keep businesses secure, productive and future-ready.

As a company built on transformation, both for our clients and ourselves, we value curiosity, expertise and a commitment to doing whats right.

We are looking for a hybrid Business Development Manager, a seller who thrives on originating new opportunities and winning new logos, while also building trusted, long-standing client relationships that drive sustainable account growth.

This is not a transactional sales role. You will:

• Originate and close complex IT services and digital transformation engagements
• Develop strategic relationships at C-suite and senior technical levels
• Expand accounts through upsell and cross-sell over time
• Act as a trusted advisor, not just a deal-closer

You will be London-based, expected in the office three days per week, but the emphasis is on being in face-to-face meetings with clients, building credibility and strengthening executive relationships.
