Head of Business Development - Advanced Composite Manufacturing | Defence / Aerospace

UK / Europe (Fully Remote)
Salary up to £150,000 + 20% Bonus + Package

This is not a role for someone managing existing accounts and waiting for opportunities to land. This is for a genuine hunter.

Do you live and breathes advanced composite manufacturing? Understand the aerospace and defence landscape, and know how to open doors with major engineering organisations?

Are you someone comfortable building relationships from scratch, creating momentum, and driving complex deals through to close?

The business is regarded as having some of the strongest engineering and manufacturing capability in the advanced composite manufacturing sector. Their proprietary technology is pushing beyond what traditional composite manufacturers can achieve, with growing demand across aerospace, defence, and high-performance engineering markets.

You'll lead new business activity across the UK and Europe, developing relationships with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and defence organisations. This is a highly consultative technical sales environment where credibility matters as much as commercial ability.

• Building and converting a high-value pipeline across aerospace and defence
• Leading commercial discussions through to contract award
• Working closely with engineering teams to shape technical solutions
• Representing the business at key industry events across Europe

You'll bring a proven background in aerospace or defence business development, experience securing complex £1M+ programmes, an established OEM/Tier 1 network, and a strong understanding of advanced composite manufacturing.

If you want to represent genuinely market-leading technology in a business with serious growth ambition and be rewarded handsomely, this is one worth exploring.
