Market Analysis and Strategy Development
Conduct in-depth market research and identify untapped opportunities.

Client Engagement and Relationship Management
Establish and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including government agencies, military organisations, and intelligence bodies.
Engage with clients to understand their needs, propose tailored solutions, and secure long-term partnerships.
Proposal Development and Negotiation
Lead the preparation of high-quality proposals, bids, and presentations.
Support negotiations of contract terms and conditions with local sellers and the VP of Business Development, ensuring favourable outcomes.
Industry Expertise and Thought Leadership
Stay current with industry trends, technologies, and regulatory developments.
Represent i2 at industry events, conferences, and seminars as a subject matter expert.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with engineering, marketing, legal, and customer success teams to ensure seamless project delivery.
Provide feedback and insights to product development to align solutions with market demand.
Performance Monitoring and Reporting
Track and report on business development activities, including pipeline progress, conversion rates, and revenue.
Provide regular updates to senior management on strategic initiatives.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of experience working within or alongside the Law Enforcement sector.
Demonstrable understanding of Operations, Investigation, and Intelligence processes, and how technology can be applied to support them.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence decision-makers.
Strategic thinker with the ability to identify opportunities and competitive threats.
Flexibility to travel across the UK, Europe, and occasionally worldwide.
