data-centric intelligence products and services to customers where tracking geopolitical and geoeconomic risk matters. With our
help, customers can use their scarce resource more effectively, to get to better decisions with higher confidence, more quickly.
We support decision advantage for our customers.
You will be part of a small, supportive team of Janes colleagues within SE&I, and will work closely with the wider European Team.
Your focus will be to identify opportunities, build relationships, and develop meaningful business development plans that support
sustainable revenue growth in line with personal and regional goals.
The Business Development Manager’s core purpose is to renew existing business in the SE&I territory and build a healthy sales
pipeline that contributes to Janes’ continued growth within Defence and National Security environments.
How you will contribute at Janes:
- Build trusted, long‑term relationships with key decision‑makers, influencers, and stakeholders across your accounts.
- Engage confidently with senior stakeholders - internally and externally- to create positive, collaborative partnerships.
- Understand individual customer needs and translate them into tailored solutions that reflect Janes’ Value Proposition.
- Apply Janes’ Sales Methodology and processes to manage your pipeline, support accurate forecasting, and contribute to account
growth.
- Work closely with colleagues across Business Development, Customer Success, Product, Marketing, and Demand Generation to
identify new opportunities, deliver effective lead‑generation plans and identify opportunities to grow accounts through
upselling and cross‑selling.
The required skills and experience for this role are:
- Experience in sales or business development, ideally within SE&I Government, Defence, or National Security organisations.
- Strong knowledge or networks within Defence and National Security sectors.
- Understanding of the SE&I geopolitical risk landscape and the role of open-source intelligence in meeting customer
requirements.
- Familiarity with the typical challenges faced by analysts in Defence and National Security environments.
- Understanding of SE&I Defence budgeting and procurement processes.
- Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills, with an organised, adaptable and positive approach.
- Ability to understand and communicate Janes’ value proposition.
- Fluent in both Italian and English, (Spanish advantageous).
- Security Clearance a distinct advantage.
This is a remote role for candidates based in Rome or the surrounding area. The role involves regular travel to client sites
(approximately 50% of the time), so a valid driving licence and regular access to a car are essential.
Benefits
- 27 days of annual leave
- Healthy half (0.5 day leave every 6 months for wellbeing)
- Leave- study/ volunteer/ reserve forces
- Pension scheme
- Learning & Development opportunities (LinkedIn Learning, Mentoring, Internal courses etc.)
Salary range: €65,000–€80,000 gross per annum, plus commission and a comprehensive benefits package.
The final offer will be determined based on the successful candidate's skills, experience, market data and overall suitability for
the role. Janes is committed to fair and transparent pay practices. Compensation decisions are based on objective criteria,
including the requirements of the role, relevant experience, skills, market benchmarks and internal equity.
If this sounds like a role where you could make an impact, we’d love to hear from you. Even if you’re not sure you meet every
