About the Role

We’re looking for a high-performing Business Development Manager to drive growth across Federal, Defense, Critical National Infrastructure, and other high-security markets in the United States.

Success in this role means consistently creating traction in the market and turning that momentum into long-term profitable growth. What you’ll be doing:

• Win new business across federal, defense, intelligence, critical infrastructure, and other high-security markets in the U.S.
• Build and convert a strong pipeline of new logo and expansion opportunities that delivers against revenue and margin targets.
• Create end-user pull-through by engaging decision-makers, influencers, prime contractors, consultants, architects, and engineering partners.
• Position Gallagher as a trusted advisor through strategic customer conversations, solution shaping, and executive-level engagement.
• Partner closely with channel, technical, and field teams to develop winning strategies and move opportunities forward.
• Maintain strong forecasting, CRM discipline, and market visibility across acquisition pathways, competitive activity, and customer priorities.

• 10+ years of success in business development, enterprise sales, or strategic account growth across federal, defense, critical infrastructure, or other complex security markets.
• Strong domain expertise in DoD markets-particularly U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy, with verifiable experience in product testing, certification, and authorization processes, including established access to relevant stakeholders and resources.
• An established network across end users, channel partners, systems integrators, consultants, architects, engineers, or prime contractors in the U.S. market.
• Experience creating end-user demand and leading opportunities in collaboration with sales, engineering, and partner teams.
• Knowledge of federal procurement, contracting, proposal response, and the commercial dynamics of high-security opportunities. FAR & DFAR experience a plus.
• Technical credibility across physical security and ideally adjacent areas such as cyber, cloud, identity, SIEM, or enterprise platforms.
• Strong communication, qualification, negotiation, and closing skills, with the drive to work autonomously and deliver results.
