Xperience is an equal opportunities employer. 

Xperience helps SMEs unlock more from their business through Digital Solutions, built with Xperience. Our specialists take time to understand each client's processes, pain points and people, then design tailored technology across Cloud & IT Services, Cyber Security, CRM and ERP. We give clients the freedom to be more productive, reduce admin and focus on what matters most, with solutions that improve and protect their business now and in the future.

Our people make us different and are a core reason clients recommend us. Their skills, energy and collaborative approach help clients focus on what matters. As a growing business, we look for people who share our values of integrity, collaboration, ambition and success, and who want to build an exceptional career with us.

About the Role
Xperience is growing strongly, and our 2027 plan depends on winning new customers. New business across Managed IT, Cyber and Data & AI is our biggest untapped opportunity, with high client demand but no dedicated new business engine. We are hiring Business Development Managers across Northern Ireland and GB to build that engine: creating new logo pipeline and converting SME demand into long-term Xperience customers.

This is a true new business role. You will carry a new logo target and focus on finding, qualifying and closing customers who do not currently buy from Xperience. There is no account management responsibility or inherited account base.
