Business Development Executive

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, analytical Business Development Executive with a strong background in information security to join our Leviathan Security Group practice area. You’ll manage a portfolio of key client accounts, building a precise strategy for each one that reflects the client’s environment, risk profile, and business goals, and adapting it as their budgets and priorities shift. You’ll bring a systematic, data-driven approach to relationship management, using account and pipeline data to plan your work, measure results, and build long-term relationships grounded in trust and reliability. With our sales engineer, you’ll scope engagements accurately enough for our delivery team to execute them well and profitably, working closely with Technical Services, Risk and Advisory Services, and the Program Management Office from first conversation through kickoff. Your careful planning and follow-through will directly drive Leviathan’s growth and strengthen our presence in the market.
