Ready to own your patch and build something big?
This is a standout opportunity for a driven Telco Business Development Manager who thrives on winning new logos, owning relationships, and dominating the mid-market (20–500 employees). If chasing net adds, uncovering opportunity where others see noise, and being rewarded for performance fires you up — this role is built for you.

This is a hands-on, face‑to‑face sales role where new business wins, directly translate into recognition, reward, and accelerated career progression.

High performance is not only expected — it’s celebrated and unlocked with bigger opportunities.
