Job Description
We’re on a mission to help organisations in high-risk and safety-critical sectors ensure that the right people are in the right roles at the right time.
Our platform supports public sector bodies — including fire and rescue services, police forces, and other emergency response organisations — to assess, maintain, and evidence workforce competence and operational readiness.
We’re growing rapidly and are now seeking a Public Sector Business Development Manager who can open doors, build lasting relationships, and expand our reach across the UK’s blue-light and public safety community.
You’ll lead engagement with fire and police organisations, helping them modernise how they manage training, talent, and competency across their workforce. This is a consultative sales role focused on long-term partnerships rather than one-off transactions.

- Build a deep understanding of sector challenges around readiness, compliance, and capability.
- Manage the full sales cycle — from prospecting and bid participation through to contract negotiation and account handover.
- Work collaboratively with our product and marketing teams to shape sector-specific propositions and thought leadership.
- Represent the organisation at relevant industry events, conferences, and networking forums.
You’re an experienced B2B sales professional who understands how the public sector buy, ideally with an existing network or background in fire, police, or other emergency services. You’re comfortable selling solutions that improve how organisations manage people, performance, or training.
You’ll likely bring:
- Proven experience in public sector or blue-light B2B sales , ideally SaaS, HR tech, training, or workforce management.
- Strong understanding of public procurement, frameworks, and stakeholder management.
- Excellent relationship-building and consultative selling skills.
- Confidence navigating complex buying groups and long sales cycles.
- A self-starter mindset, with the discipline to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team.
- A genuine interest in helping public sector organisations achieve operational excellence and readiness.
Experience working in or with fire or police services would be a distinct advantage.
- Competitive base salary (based on experience) + uncapped commission (OTE £90k–£110k)
- Hybrid / remote working flexibility
- Opportunity to shape and lead growth in a vital public sector domain
- Supportive, values-driven culture focused on trust, collaboration, and impact
- The satisfaction of contributing to safer, more capable public services
If you’re ready to use your sector insight and sales expertise to make a real difference in public safety and workforce capability, we’d love to hear from you.
