Are you a dynamic, target-driven professional with a passion for building strong business relationships and driving impactful skills development? We are looking for two ambitious Business Sales Managers to join our team and play a key role in expanding our apprenticeship, adult skills, and employer engagement provision.

In this exciting role, you will generate new business opportunities, convert leads into long-term partnerships, and promote a wide range of the college’s training and development services. Working closely with the Business Development Managers and wider team, you'll engage proactively with employers to understand their workforce needs and deliver tailored solutions that support business growth and skills development.

You’ll be a visible ambassador for the college, representing us at networking events, industry shows, and employer forums. You’ll also collaborate with curriculum teams to shape employer-led training solutions, negotiate contracts, and deliver persuasive presentations showcasing the college’s value.

If you're self-motivated, confident presenting to stakeholders, and thrive on hitting targets—this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

The College is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community and welcomes applications from individuals across all sectors. We aim to reflect the diversity of our student population in our staff profile, ensuring that we provide the best possible experience and environment for our learners.
