Beyond Recruitment is proudly supporting a national not-for-profit organisation that is on the hunt for a Business Development Manager to focus on expanding their business partner portfolio. 

This is a newly created role suited to someone who is well networked and is excited about raising the profile of an organisation. 

You won't be starting from scratch or a blank canvas - work has been and is happening in the garden city but the time has now come for someone to drive revenue growth. In time, the reach of the role will cover the entire South Island as you shape the organisation's presence.

No two days are likely to be the same - you might be meeting with a CEO, at a school working alongside a principal or educator, speaking with media, or making a presentation to potential business partners.

If you are looking for a meaningful sales role in a values-based organisation that has you working alongside colleagues who are truly passionate about what they are there to do, then this may well be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Who and what is our client looking for?

• Proven track record in building and maintaining meaningful business partnerships
• A love of the thrill of the chase to secure new opportunities but not at the expense of heart and empathy
• A solid network to call on of business leaders, trusts, individuals (think philanthropic) and corporates who you can start a dialogue with
• Commercial acumen - you know all about financial return on investment
• The ability to create your own momentum - you make things happen and get things done
• The knack of being able to be in the company of CEOs as easily as it is to be conversing with people at the coalface and in the wider community
• Be fortunate to have both a strategic lens and operational wizardry i.e. a big picture thinker when needed but can roll up your sleeves and get results
• The skills of collaborating, influencing and closing

What happens next?

Applications will be reviewed as they are received. Our client is eager to get moving on this - my advice is put your best foot forward sooner than later and apply.

Please ensure your cover letter outlines what you would bring to the role - give me your pitch! You are in sales after all.

Only applicants with the already established right to work in New Zealand will be considered for this role.

For a confidential conversation about the role please reach out to Rob Malpass on 021 743 751.
