Director of Business Development

Job Title: Business Development Director, Latin America ·

Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Opportunity

Brazil is entering one of the heaviest naval investment cycles in its history, and its neighbours are following. Our client, a long-established European navigation and bridge systems manufacturer and integrator, is already the incumbent on the region’s most demanding naval programmes. It now needs a commercial leader with the relationships to turn that position into the next wave of wins, across navies and commercial fleets.

The Impact You Will Have

• Own naval and commercial business development across Latin America
• Convert a deep pipeline of open bids and carry live, high-value programmes forward
• Shape the local-content, offset and partnership structures that win regional contracts
• Open doors at flag-officer and board level across navies, shipyards and integrators
• Represent a respected brand across the region, with a direct line to the MD

What Success Looks Like

• 10+ years selling naval or marine electronics in Latin America
• A trusted network among senior naval officers and industry decision-makers
• A record of complex, long-cycle contracts won, not just pipelines built
• Stable tenure and the credibility that comes with it
• The drive to deliver from day one

What Is on Offer

A senior, visible seat with real structure behind it: in-house system design and integration, a local team in Rio, and one of the fastest stock and logistics operations in the Americas. A competitive BRL base, an annual bonus tied to clear goals, and a short, decisive hiring process led by the MD.
