A well-funded Quantum deep-tech company are seeking an experienced and driven Business Development Leader to join their team and help accelerate growth.

As part of their dynamic sales team, you will be responsible for driving new sales, developing strategies to boost revenue, and working closely with cross-functional teams to align product offerings with customer needs.


Responsibilities:

  • Lead new sales generation efforts and develop strategies to meet and exceed revenue targets.
  • Build and nurture strong, collaborative relationships with internal teams (e.g., DEV, Marketing, PM) to ensure alignment and execution of sales initiatives.
  • Analyse sales performance data and implement actionable strategies to drive improvement.
  • Monitor market trends, conduct competitive analysis, and adjust strategies to stay ahead in the industry.
  • Work with marketing and product teams to ensure sales strategies align with the product roadmap and customer demands.
  • Lead advanced product presentations, demonstrating the unique advantages of products and services to meet customer needs.
  • Organize and coordinate technical support for demos, proof-of-concept engagements, evaluations, and training.
  • Collaborate with the team to develop clear, effective written proposals, quotes, and value propositions tailored to current and potential customers.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field is preferred, but not required. A minimum of 10 years in business development, particularly in selling engineering or technology solutions, with a proven track record of exceeding sales targets.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills with the ability to work independently and collaborate with cross-functional teams (DEV, Marketing, PM, etc.).
  • Familiarity with generative AI and large language models (LLMs).
  • Experience in managing global teams and fostering cross-location collaboration.
  • Exceptional problem-solving abilities to identify customer needs and deliver effective solutions.
  • Fluent in English; proficiency in other European languages is a plus.
  • Ability to travel up to 50%.


Preferred Qualifications:

  • A combination of a degree in Science/Engineering and an MBA.
  • Experience leading and managing cross-functional teams.


Very competitive salary package on offer, inclusive of commissions, stocks, hybrid working and flexible hours, training budget and more.

Quantum Computing Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the quantum computing jobs market in the UK is shifting from hype to harder-edged reality. The wildest forecasts have softened, some early-stage start-ups have pivoted or been acquired, and investors are more selective. At the same time, governments, big tech, defence, finance and pharma still see quantum as strategically important – especially in algorithms, quantum-safe cryptography, optimisation and materials simulation. The result: fewer “blue-sky” roles with no clear roadmap, and more demand for quantum talent that can plug into real programmes, real products and real timelines. Whether you’re a quantum job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams across hardware, software, theory or adjacent fields, understanding the key quantum computing hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK quantum computing hiring has shifted from credential‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation. Employers now value provable contributions across the stack—algorithms & applications, compilation & optimisation, circuit synthesis, control & calibration, hardware characterisation, error mitigation/correction (QEM/QEC), verification/benchmarking, and hybrid HPC/quantum workflows—plus the ability to communicate trade‑offs, costs and feasibility to non‑quantum teams. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for quantum algorithm engineers, quantum software/compilers, experimentalists, quantum control & firmware, cryo/readout engineers, quantum error correction researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, and quantum‑adjacent product managers. Who this is for: Quantum algorithm/applications engineers, compiler/optimisation engineers, control/firmware engineers, experimental physicists & hardware engineers (superconducting, trapped ion, photonic, spin/neutral atom), cryogenics & RF/microwave, QEC researchers, verification/benchmarking specialists, quantum‑HPC orchestration engineers, and product/BD roles in the UK quantum ecosystem.

Why Quantum Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Quantum computing has long been considered an elite subfield of physics and computer science. But as quantum technologies advance—from fault-tolerant hardware to quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography—they’re moving closer to real applications in finance, materials simulation, optimisation, cryptography and more. As this transition happens, UK quantum computing careers are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. Quantum systems are no longer just the domain of physicists and quantum software engineers. If quantum technologies are to be trusted, adopted and regulated, professionals must also incorporate expertise in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. In practice, quantum computing projects now intersect with data governance, risk, human interaction, explainability and communication. In this article, we’ll explore why quantum computing careers in the UK are shifting to multidisciplinary roles, how these five supporting fields intersect with quantum work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to keep up in this evolving frontier.
