About the Role

The Business Development Director will lead growth initiatives for TT Electronics’ Interconnect business across the European region, with a primary focus on the Abercynon and Fairford sites. This senior leadership role is responsible for shaping and delivering the go-to-market strategy for interconnect solutions, including cable harnesses, connectors, and integrated systems.

The primary focus will be on securing brand-new customers, platforms, and programmes within the Aerospace & Defence (A&D) sector, as well as adjacent high-end industrial and transportation markets. Unlike momentum business managed by internal sales and programme teams, this role is dedicated to strategic customer acquisition and programme wins that expand TT’s market footprint and long-term growth trajectory.

The Role Holder would ideally be based in close proximity to both the Abercynon and Fairford sites along the M4 corridor. There will be a regular travel requirment to both of these sites, other TT UK sites and our regional customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute the European go-to-market strategy for Interconnect, working closely with the Abercynon and Fairford site leadership teams.
• Identify and secure new customers, platforms, and programmes, positioning TT as a partner of choice for interconnect solutions.
• Build senior-level relationships with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and strategic partners across A&D and adjacent markets.
• Lead and manage complex commercial negotiations with a focus on profitable growth and long-term strategic alignment.
• Represent TT at industry forums, trade shows, and key customer engagements to raise market visibility and strengthen brand recognition.
• Collaborate with Marketing, Engineering, and Operations to align customer needs with TT’s technical and production capabilities.
• Maintain a robust pipeline of opportunities, driving accountability and reporting progress to the VP Sales and senior leadership team.
• Develop a broad understanding of TT Electronics’ wider portfolio of capabilities, enabling solution-led selling and fostering a more coordinated approach to customer engagement that maximises group-wide value.
• Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and customer requirements to continuously refine growth strategies.
