This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner.

We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Do you have the business acumen, experience, and entrepreneurial mind set to deliver commercial growth and revenue generation for our Custom Specific Programme Business?

This is a newly created opportunity for a Business Development Manager to join the Leeds University Business School's Executive Education team. A key role, it will require leveraging a 'consultative sales' approach to understand the needs of organisations and tailor suitable solutions that align with the specific objectives and challenges of client organisations.

In coordination with the Senior Director for Executive Programmes and faculty members, you will be responsible in ensuring that client requirements are translated into high-level programme specifications, designs, and business proposals.

This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of the Leeds University Business School (LUBS) Executive Education's Custom Programme business stream.
