Achieving referral and employer engagement targets across a range of industries and contracts
Establish, build and maintain partnerships with a wide portfolio of existing and potential partners to fulfil the business needs through regular contact and management.
Actively seek new business opportunities with stakeholders.
Develop a network of relationships with employed learners through business development and marketing engagement
Maintain accurate records of specified business development activity and provide timely and consistent data using learndirect systems
Identify key networking opportunities to maximise your impact on your centre(s) and supply chain referrals increasing income opportunities

Maintain an excellent level of product knowledge and understanding of all funding opportunities
Advertise and promote learndirect to referral partners, employers and potential learners using a wide range of techniques in order to achieve learner acquisition targets
Attend networking events and other promotional opportunities, maintaining a professional and credible profile on behalf of learndirect - these may be outside of normal working hours, so some flexibility is required.
What skills, experience, and qualifications are we looking for?
To be successful, your application must be able to demonstrate:
Proven success in a target-driven sales environment, ideally related to employability, education, or adult skills
Proven success in generating high levels of repeat business and success in developing and managing long term business partnerships
Strong and confident presentation, communication, and networking skills
Pragmatic and analytical problem-solving skills
Proven ability to work collaboratively and effectively network
Strong IT skills, specifically in Microsoft Office applications
A current valid driving licence and own car.
What's in it for you?
We pride ourselves in the career training and development our colleagues receive, and we continuously strive to improve our ways of working. Everyone at learndirect plays a really important part in achieving our goals, so we think we can offer truly unique opportunities.
All colleagues enjoy a flexible benefits package that can be shaped according to individual needs. This includes holiday entitlement that starts at 25 days per year plus bank holidays (with the option of buying additional leave), pension and health care plans, childcare voucher and season ticket loan schemes; and a variety of other lifestyle discounts.
