Business Development & Growth Manager (Central Government)

We are the Information Intelligence Group (IIG) of CACI UK, a specialist software/technical consultancy providing new bespoke solutions to solve our customers' complex operational problems. As our business continues to grow, we are looking to recruit a Business Development & Growth Manager to join the Central Government team.

Role Location
You can work from any of our 5 offices in the UK (including Bristol, Cheltenham, Manchester & London) or from home; you decide. The role will however require regular trips to meet customers across the UK as required.

The Opportunity
The Central Government area forms one of our four Business Streams within IIG. Based on our excellent record of accomplishment and growing market share in adjacent markets such as National Security, Law Enforcement, Borders, Citizenship, Critical National Infrastructure and Defence, we have set ambitious but achievable targets for significant growth. As part of our growth strategy, we are looking for an experienced Business Development and Growth Manager to deepen current relationships with our key customer stakeholders and set out a plan to expand into new areas. Alongside our consultancy services, this will include identifying and delivering genuine opportunities for expansion for our cloud platform and related AI services.

The core focus for the role will be to identify, establish and maintain strategic stakeholder relationships with existing and new clients and partners – influencing and guiding them towards a mutually beneficial relationship with CACI and providing an “informed” pipeline of opportunities for the client success and business development leads. You will develop top tier “Client friend” relationships, leveraging contacts and domain understanding to provide senior stakeholders with a “go to” person for Digital and Data Technology delivery guidance at CACI. This is a broad ranging and fascinating role which involves account management, client relationship management and business development skills. Reporting to the Central Government Account Director, you will be part of the Central Government Leadership team, working to identify new areas of work and creating an integrated campaign plan to achieve continued and sustainable growth.
