Play a key lead role in scaling a high-margin, high-retention consultancy poised for breakout growth
Base Salary + Uncapped Bonus | B2B Services | Health & Safety | Remote (UK-Based)
The Company & Opportunity
Our client is a leading, fast-growing British-founded international health and safety consultancy known for exceptional client retention and personalised service, primed for its next phase of expansion. Until now, the business has relied predominantly on SEO and PPC to fuel growth and is now hiring an experienced growth-savvy manager to unlock new markets, channels, and partnerships.
Is the words of the founders:
"Today we are a professional services firm specialising in supporting clients who want to outsource health and safety compliance. We are selling (they are buying) 'peace of mind'.
Our sweet spot for the consulting business is a company with between 50 and 750 employees, large enough to need help but not large enough to justify hiring their own full time health and safety staff. However, there is one exception to this and that is the large international office based clients (from English speaking countries) who struggle to manage health and safety across their international operations. That international client base is the fastest growing part of our business.
The second potential major growth area is with our newly developed AI fueled health and safety online compliance system for low risk office based companies. This online subscription platform has been designed not only for our existing consulting clients but for the tens of thousands of smaller companies (5 to 50 employees) who want to manage health and safety compliance themselves. Built on the bedrock of our consulting business it puts that health and safety 'intelligence' base in the hands of any company seeking an intuitive health and safety compliance system."
This is a unique chance to become the company's first Head of Growth & Business Development; a commercially-minded generalist with a strategic eye and a hands-on approach to generating demand.
