UL Solutions is seeking a Business Development Manager, UK and Europe, Data &

Innovation to support the definition, scoping, and growth of digital, data, and

technology-enabled offerings, including Global Compliance Management (GCM).

This role sits between the customer and the offering. The person gathers

customer requirements, documents how compliance and market access problems show

up in practice, and works with Product, Technical, Operations, Marketing, and

Sales teams to define what the offering needs to do, how it is packaged, and how

it is explained. The role supports customer conversations as the product expert

rather than as the account owner.

This is a non-commissioned product role. It does not carry a sales quota or

account ownership. Success is measured by the quality of requirements captured,

the clarity and usability of the offering, and the adoption of the solutions the

role supports.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Customer Requirements and Offering Definition

  • Gather and document customer requirements, use cases, and unmet needs, and
  • translate them into clear input for product and offering decisions.
  • Analyze customer, service, and market data to identify gaps in the current
  • offering portfolio and recommend where to extend, package, or retire
  • capability.

  • teams on scope, capability, limitations, and fit.
  • Support solution scoping for customer opportunities, including requirements,
  • assumptions, dependencies, and handoffs to delivery.
  • Build product collateral, demo content, discovery guides, and use cases so
  • the offering is explained consistently and can be repeated at scale.

Customer Discovery and Solution Fit

  • Lead product discovery sessions that start with the customer’s compliance or
  • market access problem, not a predetermined solution.
  • Assess whether the current offering meets the need, document the gap when it
  • does not, and bring in the right technical or regulatory expert.
  • Support pilots and early adoption, track how customers actually use the
  • solution, and feed findings, objections, and competitive insight back to
  • Product and leadership.

Product Commercialization and Performance Analysis

  • Support launch and commercialization of digital, software-enabled, and
  • AI-enabled offerings, including readiness checks, launch materials, and
  • internal training.
  • Use CRM, Power BI, usage data, and market data to track offering performance,
  • adoption, and conversion, and to build simple business cases for investment.
  • Turn recurring custom work into standard, repeatable product components with
  • defined scope, delivery model, and pricing.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and relevant
  • experience.
  • Approximately 5+ years in business development, product management, product
  • marketing, solutions consulting, commercialization, or a related
  • customer-facing product role.
  • Demonstrated ability to gather customer requirements and turn them into
  • offering definition, scope documents, or product improvements.
  • Strong discovery, communication, presentation, and relationship-management
  • skills, and the ability to influence across functions without direct
  • authority.
  • Working knowledge of technical, regulatory, digital, or software-enabled
  • solutions, and the ability to explain how they work and what they deliver.
  • Self-directed, comfortable in an evolving environment, and willing to travel
  • within the region as needed.

Preferred

  • Experience in testing, inspection and certification; product compliance;
  • regulatory services; market access; software/SaaS; digital transformation;
  • cybersecurity; or another technical B2B environment.
  • Experience defining or commercializing software, subscription, or
  • recurring-revenue offerings for complex enterprise customers.
  • Experience using CRM, Power BI, or similar tools to analyze customer and
  • commercial opportunities.
  • Experience developing or launching new products, service offerings, pilots,
  • or go-to-market packages.
  • Familiarity with regional data-privacy and outreach requirements
  • What we offer:
  • Total Rewards: We understand that rewards are an important consideration as you

plan the next step in your career. Salary range varies by location and local

market conditions and is based on multiple factors, including job-related

knowledge/skills, experience, geographical location, and other factors.
