About the role

We are seeking an experienced BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities and winning recent business.

We're looking for someone who is genuinely curious about our customers' businesses – someone who asks the right questions, understands their challenges and looks for opportunities where Jet Group can add value.

understanding future requirements and turning customer conversations into genuine business opportunities.
