Security Sales Executive - Security Manned Guarding- London or Remote
A growing national security provider is searching for an experienced Security Sales Executive to help shape the next phase of their expansion.
This is a senior, commercially influential role where you'll work directly with the leadership team, contribute to national strategy, and personally drive the growth of high‑value manned guarding contracts across the UK.
Ideally, you will be based in London as there is a large growth potential in the area, however as this role is a national role that is remote, we will consider applications from people with good links into London like Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool etc.
With nearly three decades of proven success behind them, the organisation has built long‑standing relationships with major public and private sector clients.
They're now looking for someone who can take that reputation and turn it into sustained national growth.
This isn't a standard sales role.
You'll be a key voice in the business, influencing direction while building a strong pipeline of strategic opportunities, opening new markets and securing significant guarding and security solutions contracts.
You'll lead business development activity, shape bids and proposals, and play a central part in driving long‑term commercial performance.
To thrive here, you'll already be winning sizeable manned guarding contracts — ideally £1.5m+ annually — and you'll bring a deep understanding of the sector, strong commercial acumen, and the ability to build trust with senior stakeholders.
You'll be confident developing proposals, managing tenders, negotiating pricing and presenting solutions that stand out in a competitive market.
In return, you'll join a respected national organisation with a strong heritage, a loyal client base and a leadership team that genuinely values your input.
The package includes a competitive basic salary, quarterly bonus and uncapped commission, giving you the opportunity to directly benefit from the success you create.
If you're ready for a senior role where your ideas, relationships and commercial impact will help shape the future of a growing national security business, I'd welcome a confidential conversation.
Apply now or risk missing out.
To discuss the position in more detail, contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240.
