Are you a sharp, ambitious graduate with a natural commercial instinct, a love of business and 2+ years of client development experience? Looking for a role with real influence, variety and strategic input? This might be exactly what you7re looking for.

The consultancy has a tonne of personality, deep expertise, serious credentials and bags of ambition. With an already enviable client list, you will be working with world class strategists, award winning researchers, mind-blowing data scientists and an exceptionally talented creative team. The opportunities to learn are endless and you’ll be highly motivated to make an impact, drive growth and be highly rewarded.

You'll work directly with senior leaders to shape and drive the new business strategy, identifying opportunities, building client relationships, and delivering a seamless experience from outreach to contract. This isn’t just lead gen, it’s about smart thinking, deep market understanding and being part of a business that blends consultancy rigour with creative flair.

This is a dynamic, commercial, client facing role with real responsibility from day one.

What You'll Do

• Partner with internal stakeholders to develop and execute targeted business development plans
• Generate high-quality leads through outreach, insight and proactive networking
• Manage inbound opportunities, tender portals, and the “Hello” inbox
• Build relationships with senior prospects and guide them through the sales journey
• Collaborate closely with the Marketing team on campaigns and content
• Track, measure and report performance via Salesforce (CRM ownership is key)
• Support and coordinate strategic events that enhance our market presence

What We're Looking For

• A bright graduate with 2+ years in sales, client development, or commercial roles
• Experienced in consultancy, marcoms, or a creative agency environment
• A confident communicator — persuasive, polished, and business-savvy
• Able to push back and challenge where needed, while maintaining diplomacy and trust
• Comfortable managing targets and delivering results under pressure
• Commercially minded, highly organised, and a natural connector of people
• Hands-on with CRM systems (ideally Salesforce), detail-oriented, and data confident

If you are smashing your current client development role, dare we say, slightly bored and are looking for your next move to be your career defining opportunity - this is it!
