Business Development Assistant

Role Description

We are looking for a Business Development Assistant to join our BD, Sales and Marketing team as we are continuing through this exciting stage of growth. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape JET’s journey to expanding 5G at sea and to make the role your own.

The role will be flexible depending on the skills and experience of the person joining the team. It is more important to us to find the right person than the job title so please reach out and have a chat with us!

Joining JET will be an exciting opportunity to work in a fast paced and fast growing SME, learn about things you didn’t even know existed, and be part of a friendly team. As we grow there will be plenty of opportunity for career and role development, and due to being an SME there will always be a chance to work on new skills as we work together and support each other as a team.

This role may also involve some UK and international travel.
