Fractional Business Development Manager (Contract/Fractional) - UK
We're supporting a specialist consultancy delivering programmes across power-led infrastructure (including power, grid, renewables and data centres), with additional exposure across utilities and MEP within property/real estate.
They're looking for a Fractional Business Development Manager who can act as a credible "door opener", someone who can bring warm, commercial introductions and help generate commissions / opportunities via access to senior decision-makers. This is not a delivery execution hire - it's about pipeline creation and strategic introductions.
