About the Company:
This organisation is a large professional services firm, operating in a complex, multi-disciplinary environment. The business supports a wide range of clients and internal stakeholders and places strong emphasis on collaboration across business development, marketing, communications and delivery teams.
About the Role:
This Business Development Manager role supports a range of commercial, strategic and client-related initiatives across the organisation.
This is a varied role across supporting proposals or submissions, coordinating information from multiple stakeholders, or assisting with longer-term initiatives.
While the work ultimately supports client outcomes, this position is predominantly internally focused, working closely with senior stakeholders and delivery teams rather than operating in a front-line, client-facing sales capacity. It will particularly suit someone who enjoys influencing outcomes from behind the scenes and enabling others to perform at their best.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting the development and execution of commercial and business development initiatives, from early planning through to delivery.
- Lead proposals, bids and submissions, including shaping content, coordinating inputs and managing timelines.
- Acting as a central point of coordination across multiple stakeholders to ensure information is accurate, aligned and delivered on time.
- Supporting senior stakeholders with decision-making inputs, including preparing summaries, recommendations and supporting materials.
- Managing multiple concurrent workstreams in a deadline-driven environment, prioritising effectively as requirements evolve.
- Maintaining accurate records, documentation and reporting through internal systems.
- Contributing to continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to refine processes, templates or ways of working.
- Operating as a trusted team member who can step in where needed and take ownership in moments of ambiguity.
About You:
This role will suit someone who enjoys working in supportive, stakeholder-heavy roles rather than front-line sales positions.
You will likely bring:
- Experience in business development, bids, proposals, commercial support or go-to-market roles, ideally within professional services or similarly complex organisations.
- Strong stakeholder coordination and relationship management skills.
- The ability to work across different personalities and levels of seniority.
- Comfort operating in environments where priorities can evolve and responsibilities may overlap.
- A collaborative mindset, this is not a lone-contributor role.
- Strong written communication skills and attention to detail.
- Backgrounds from professional services, legal, accounting, engineering or large corporate environments are all relevant.
