Strategic Business Development Manager | IT Solutions & Cybersecurity
Build the business unit you'll eventually lead.
If you would like to know a bit more about this opportunity, or are considering applying, then please read the following job information.
Centric is looking for someone who can take ownership of a young business unit, open doors across Flanders, and help shape how the market sees the company.
The Challenge
Centric has been delivering IT solutions to major retail organizations for years. Two years ago, the company decided to bring that expertise to businesses outside the retail sector through a dedicated Business IT Solutions division.
* The technical expertise is already there.
* The services are already there.
* The customer references are already there.
What still needs to be built is a predictable flow of new business.
Your role is to create that momentum. You'll identify opportunities, start conversations with decision-makers, gather market intelligence, and work closely with marketing and technical specialists to position Centric as a trusted partner.
About Centric
Centric delivers solutions in hosting, managed workplace services, and cybersecurity.
The company already manages critical IT environments for some of Europe's largest retail organizations.
What makes Centric different is its hands-on approach. When customers need support, they don't end up in an anonymous call center they get direct access to experts who understand their environment and take ownership of the solution.

We are also open to experienced freelance Business Development professionals who have a proven track record in opening doors, building pipelines, and generating new business opportunities within the B2B market.
Culture & Working Environment
This is not a corporate role where every process has already been defined.
The Business IT Solutions division is still growing, which means you'll have the freedom to influence how things are done.
You'll work in a pragmatic environment where ideas are discussed openly, decisions are made quickly, and initiative is valued more than hierarchy.
A typical example: when a new market opportunity appears, the team doesn't spend weeks creating procedures. They discuss it, test it, learn from it, and improve it together.
