About the Role
As a Senior Business Development Consultant, you will develop revenue-generating opportunities in new markets and verticals by building relationships with key industry players, technology partners, and strategic customers. This role combines technical sales expertise with a consultative approach to understand customer needs, co-design solutions, and drive innovation.
Responsibilities
- Act as a trusted technical and commercial advisor, building deep partnerships across new markets and verticals in the US — with a focus on GNSS positioning and IoT use cases.
- Contribute to GTM strategy — identify the highest-value use cases and players, then prospect, negotiate, and close multi-year contracts with high-growth partners.
- Work directly with customers and partners to understand technical requirements and co-design GNSS/IoT solutions that fit their use case, bridging the gap between engineering capability and commercial need.
- Keep partner and market forecasts sharp, aligned internally, and reviewed quarterly with Sales, Engineering, and Marketing.
- Negotiate and manage partner agreements (NDAs, SOWs, RFXs, and MSAs), and build senior relationships that last.
- Be a technical and commercial voice for customer needs — shaping roadmap and GTM with Engineering, Leadership, and Product Marketing.
- Represent Swift at key industry events (GNSS, IoT, and related tech forums) and bring back market and competitive intel that sharpens our edge.
Requirements
- Sharp strategic and analytical instincts, with a proven track record turning market insight into closed, high-value contracts (royalty, revenue-share, or subscription-based) in tech-driven markets like silicon, IP, software, or SaaS.
- Solid technical understanding of GNSS positioning technologies (e.g., GPS, GNSS correction services, RTK/PPP) and IoT architecture, with the ability to speak credibly to engineering teams and technical customers.
- Skilled at co-designing solutions directly with customers and driving product launches with partners from concept to measurable wins.
- Confident representing Swift to partners and partners to Swift, turning competing viewpoints into fast, aligned decisions.
- Strong communicator across every level, internally and externally — able to translate technical concepts into commercial value and vice versa.
