We're looking for a dynamic sales engineer and the ideal person is a software engineer wanting to get into sales or someone who’s been in technical pre-sales but is transitioning into a sale role. You are ideally someone with 4 or 5 years’ experience who is keen to learn and develop in a sales role e to help us grow our business and achieve new heights. You must be good at selling low volume but high value, and strong at customer retention. You must also have real software experience to understand things like the development process or even some of the most basic terminology. You really need to have worked in a more software/electronics/tech/IP licensing type of environment. Ideally be degree level, and ideally in something closely related to software. The Company As more and more advanced technology is used in the Automotive/Transportation sector, we present exciting opportunities to join a growing company at a pivotal time in our industry. We are a successful Cambridge (UK) based technology spin-out, leading the way in finding creative, innovative, and above all effective ways to make time spent in-vehicle more entertaining and productive. Our connectivity and telematics software and hardware products are deployed in over 35 million vehicles and counting, across 15 of the world's largest automotive OEMs, including VW Group, Toyota, Honda, Stellantis and many more. We supply our software across the automotive ecosystem to equipment suppliers such as Bosch, Panasonic, Clarion, Pioneer, and device vendors such as Sony and HTC. We also use our software in our Cobalt Cube hardware product, which enables devices such as PCs, tablets and specialist equipment to be displayed and controlled from the vehicle dashboard screen. It is transforming the way emergency services and fleets now interact with peripheral devices, improving efficiency and safety for their drivers. We operate across two product streams. Our software development kits are licensed to automotive OEMs and equipment suppliers such as Bosch, with a licence fee of around €250 per unit plus ongoing shipping royalties — this has historically been our core business. Over the last couple of years we've also introduced a hardware product, Cobalt Cube, built on our own software for emergency services use, and now deployed with organisations including the AA and UK police forces. These plug-and-play units sell for £800–£1,000 each and are currently moving through new customer trials. The Role We're looking for an experienced, committed and talented Business Development Executive with direct experience of business development within the automotive industry. This role is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced executive to join our highly successful team and take an active role in growing our global brand. This role covers a wide range of vertical markets including mobile operators, handset vendors, Automotive OEMs and equipment suppliers. You'll be working closely with the management team, shaping business strategy, establishing strong and trusting relationships with key partners, preparing compelling value propositions and customer proposals, developing business models, negotiating commercial terms and closing deals. There is considerable scope for innovation and introducing new product ideas. You won't be doing this alone. You'll have the backing of a dedicated pre-sales team, as well as a network of established partners you'll need to be comfortable working with and through partners, as well as selling direct. We sell through a mix of direct sales and trade shows, attending around 50 shows a year across Europe, Asia and the USA. In Europe we typically partner with Panasonic on a stand rather than running our own, so despite the number of shows, it isn't a heavy travel commitment. When you join, you'll shadow the team on existing customer engagements before picking up your own leads sourced from website enquiries, trade shows, and an element of proactive networking. You'll also make use of our CRM to revisit and work cold leads, including enquiries that have gone quiet for six months or more, alongside nurturing relationships across our large existing customer base. We're currently at proof-of-concept stage with a number of clients, typically selling in batches of 10–20 units, though some clients order 100–200 units at a time. On the software side, deals typically range from around £20,000–£30,000 up to £200,000. On the hardware side, minimum order is 50–100 units, but some clients order 300–500 units — deals of £100,000 or more. You'll also work closely with our engineering team to tease out and translate customer requirements, acting as the interface between the customer and engineering throughout the sales process. Successful candidates will have a good market knowledge of the automotive industry, an appreciation of the formation of partnerships, channel sales and OEM deal-making. You must possess demonstrable business skills, show adaptability, flexibility and a desire to work on a broad range of business initiatives. You must have a strong can-do attitude with the desire to deliver world-class solutions to blue-chip companies, and be motivated by seeing results deployed widely in real-life applications. The role involves global travel, including Europe, Asia and the USA. There will be a mix of visiting our extensive customer base and new prospects, presenting at conferences and representing at trade shows. Compensation Base salary is up to £50,000, plus an uncapped commission scheme based on deal size: 4% commission on all sales up to your initial annual target of £500,000 Once target is hit, this increases by a further 2% (6% total) on sales beyond that point Any individual deal over £100,000 earns 6–8% commission Our best and average performers are currently earning £30,000–£50,000 in commission on top of base salary — taking total earnings to around £120,000 a year.
