About Codurance Codurance is a software delivery consultancy that partners with technology and engineering leaders to build, modernise and scale the software that underpins their business. A significant part of our client base is private equity-backed: we help CTOs and boards de-risk technical due diligence, stabilise and integrate engineering after acquisition, and build the delivery capability and platforms that support growth and exit readiness. The role We're hiring a hunter, not a farmer. This role owns new-business generation end-to-end, building and converting a qualified pipeline and signing new business contract value through consultative, value-led selling to CTOs and boards. You'll be measured on the pipeline you generate, how well you convert it, and the contract value you close. Sales experience and the ability to sell consultatively at CTO and board level matter far more than sector background. That said, many of our clients are private equity-backed, so an understanding of the PE lifecycle or experience selling into PE-backed businesses is a genuine benefit, not a requirement.
