BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER – LEADERSHIP PROGRAMMES

Location – Remote

Contract – Full Time

Salary - £50,000 + uncapped commission (£100,000 + realistic OTE)

We are looking for a high-performing Business Development Manager to join our client's team and scale these commercial programmes across the UK and internationally.  

Programmes 

Change Catalyst:

A six-part transformational leadership experience delivered by global experts in high performance, neuroscience, ED&I, commercial leadership and the future of work. Ideal for senior leaders, high-potential managers and progressive organisations. 

Empower: Women in Business:

A four-part development journey designed to increase confidence, leadership capability and career progression for women. Perfect for women’s networks, ED&I strategies and corporate programmes.

Both programmes are high-margin, high-impact and have unlimited seat capacity — giving you a scalable product set with huge demand.

What you’ll do

If you’re driven, disciplined and energised by outbound sales, this is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a revenue stream with huge earning potential.

You will: 

  • Drive proactive outbound prospecting across HR, Talent, Leadership and ED&I markets
  • Build, manage and convert a high-quality pipeline from scratch 
  • Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, discovery, demos, follow-up and close 
  • Win individual seats, group bookings and corporate cohorts 
  • Host online programme overviews and taster sessions 
  • Achieve weekly seat targets (discussed at interview) 
  • Consistently hit and exceed monthly and quarterly revenue targets 

It’s a results-driven growth role for someone who loves building their own success.

What we’re looking for

  • 3+ years of proven B2B sales experience (L&D, HR tech, SaaS or professional services ideal)
  • Strong track record of hunting and winning new business
  • Confident selling to HR Directors, Talent Leads and senior stakeholders
  • Comfortable making outbound calls daily and generating pipeline independently
  • Skilled at running compelling virtual demos and programme overviews
  • Commercially sharp, proactive and persistent
  • Ambitious, confident and motivated by high earnings

If you thrive in outbound environments and want a role with real autonomy and impact, you’ll excel here. 

 

What you’ll earn

  • Base salary: £50,000 per annum
  • OTE: £100,000+ (uncapped)
  • Commission: Paid per seat sold on each programme, with weekly targets. The full commission structure will be shared at the interview stage.
