BDM and Project Manager

Do you like driving growth and delivering impact? This is your opportunity to own the full journey.

We are looking for a commercially savvy BDM & Project Manager who thrives at the intersection of winning work and delivering it successfully.

• Drive revenue growth and consistently hit targets
• Strengthen market presence through networking, content, and thought leadership
• Grow existing accounts through upsell and long-term partnerships

Project Delivery

• Lead complex projects end-to-end
• Own scope, timelines, risks, and delivery outcomes
• Manage stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard
• Communicate clearly and keep clients confident throughout

Client Ownership

• Be the trusted advisor from first conversation to final delivery
• Ensure seamless handover from sales to execution
• Build strong, lasting relationships that drive repeat business

PMO Alignment

• Deliver in line with PMO standards and governance
• Collaborate closely with the PMO Director
• Feed insights back into improving services and delivery capability

What success looks like

• Strong pipeline and consistent revenue growth
• High conversion rates and successful deal closure
• Projects delivered successfully (time, scope, budget, quality)
• High levels of client satisfaction and ongoing engagement

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience in business development AND project management
• Track record delivering complex business or system projects
• Strong commercial mindset with the ability to balance sales and delivery
• Ability to turn client needs into practical, outcome-driven solutions
• In-depth knowledge of Agile, Hybrid and Waterfall Methodology.
• High quality verbal and written communication with the ability to interact with stakeholders at any level.
• Good understanding of change management principles, techniques and tools.
• Conflict resolution and negotiation skills.
• PMP, Agile, PMI-ACP certification or similar is an advantage.
• Experience in MS project and/or other PPM tools is preferable.
• Tertiary qualified, preferably in a business, finance or IT related discipline or equivalent experience with 1-3 years’ experience in a similar role.

What we offer:

• Work with like-minded and supportive people
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Competitive salary
• Great employee benefits like health insurance and birthday leave
• Beautiful office space in central Howick with free parking
