Location: Newcastle

Hours: 9.00 am – 5.30 pm Monday – Friday

Why SCC?

An inclusive workplace
Excellent package: solid basic and company benefits
Hybrid working & core hours in line with role requirements
Career development and life-long learning opportunities
Opportunity to join Europe's largest privately-owned IT Company

Role purpose:

This is a new business, territory-building role focused on growing SCC’s presence across the North East public sector.

While this is largely a white-space opportunity, SCC already has a strong reputation, established customer relationships, and significant capability in the region. Your role is to take that story to market — building new relationships, re-engaging existing ones, and creating opportunities where there is clear potential to grow.

You will shape and sell enterprise technology, managed services, and professional services-led engagements, typically complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities such as:

Enterprise platform modernisation
Application modernisation
End-to-end digital workplace design, supply, integration, and management
Workflow automation and process transformation
Real-world AI use case development and implementation
Success in this role comes from your ability to create momentum, lead virtual teams, and deliver outcomes for customers — not just close deals.

Key responsibilities:

Build and execute a new business strategy across a largely untapped territory
Generate pipeline through targeted prospecting, networking, and structured engagement plans
Identify, re-engage, and grow relationships leveraging SCC’s existing regional footprint
Engage at CIO / senior leadership level, shaping opportunities through early discovery
Develop and position enterprise, managed, and professional services solutions aligned to customer outcomes
Take full ownership of opportunities end-to-end — from creation through to successful close
Maintain accountability post-sale, ensuring alignment between what is sold, delivered, and achieved
Act as a customer advocate, supporting delivery teams to ensure successful execution and customer confidence
Lead virtual teams across sales, technical, delivery, and partners to design and deliver complex solutions
Create alignment, clarity, and shared accountability across stakeholders involved in opportunities
Build strong internal and vendor relationships to strengthen propositions and execution
Represent and promote SCC’s capability, credentials, and success in the region
Maintain a robust pipeline and forecasting discipline
Deliver against growth and margin targets
Make balanced, commercially sound decisions based on what is right for SCC and the customer

Skills and experience:

Ideally degree educated.
Full UK Driving License.
10 years’ sales experience, which will include circa 5+ years experience working for an IT Services Provider.
Proven experience in new business sales, ideally within technology, managed services, or professional services.
Track record of building pipeline and revenue from a cold or white-space territory.
Experience selling enterprise-scale, complex solutions involving multiple stakeholders.
Strong understanding of managed services, enterprise technology, and professional services-led engagements.
Experience working in or alongside public sector organisations is highly desirable.
Established network within the North East public sector ecosystem is advantageous.
