At Spottitt, we’re on a mission to change how organisations see the world: literally. Our satellite-powered insights help companies in energy, infrastructure, and sustainability make smarter, data-driven decisions without the need for people to physically attend sites.  And we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager who’s ready to play a pivotal role in shaping our growth story. You’ll be the driving force behind new client relationships, opening up industries that have yet to realise the potential of satellite data, and turning opportunity into long-term success.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll lead the charge in winning new enterprise customers through a consultative, solution-first approach: building trust, uncovering needs, and designing strategies that solve complex, real-world challenges.

You’ll work closely with our leadership team to refine our commercial strategy, explore new markets, and ensure Spottitt continues to push boundaries.

And you’ll represent Spottitt in the world: at industry events, with partners, and with clients who are ready to see what’s possible from space.

What we’re looking for

You’ve got a strong track record in enterprise-level, consultative sales: ideally in tech, SaaS, or geospatial solutions, and you know how to navigate long, complex deal cycles with confidence.

You’re a natural communicator, commercially sharp, and motivated by the idea of making a genuine impact in a fast-scaling, innovative environment.

While we’re able to be flexible and would like to hear from individuals across the UK, we are ideally looking for someone in Manchester who can regularly attend our City Centre offices.

Why you’ll love it here

This is a rare opportunity to join a pioneering company at the forefront of satellite analytics: and to make your mark as we expand into new industries and markets.

You’ll work alongside a collaborative, ambitious team that thrives on innovation and impact.

Your ideas and energy will directly shape how Spottitt grows.
