We're delighted to be working exclusively with an innovative global publishing services business that partners with some of the world's leading education, ELT, and learning organisations.
As the business continues to grow its Learning division, we're looking for a commercially minded Business Development Manager to help drive the next phase of expansion across international markets. This is a full-time, remote role, where the person can be based in the UK, Middle East, US or Australia - the individual will need to be comfortable working internationally and flexing around different time zones when required.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves opening doors, building relationships and spotting opportunities. You'll inherit a number of active conversations and warm opportunities, while also creating your own pipeline through networking, outreach, events and market engagement.
Working closely with senior leadership, you'll be responsible for developing new business opportunities across the global educational publishing and ELT landscape, supporting organisations with a broad range of content, learning and production services. You'll play a key role in growing new client partnerships, helping shape commercial strategy and representing the business at industry events across the education and learning sector.
