Job description

As an Associate Director in ImpactEd Consulting you will lead partner relationships and high-complexity engagements, shape the work of the practice and deliver high-quality, value-driven solutions. You will scope and lead client engagements and hold a business development target supported by our ownership awards.

You will take on an established portfolio of partnerships from colleagues going on parental leave, so the early months are about continuity: holding those relationships steady and keeping delivery to the standard our partners already expect. Alongside that you will lead business development in your own right, shaping propositions and bringing in new work. This role will suit someone who builds partner confidence quickly and is comfortable working with real autonomy from early on.

Partnerships and delivery

Design and lead consultancy partnerships, working closely with partners to diagnose challenges and develop tailored solutions, and sponsor engagements led by others, accountable for quality and partner satisfaction.
Commission and manage associates where needed.

Business development

Hold a business development target, supported by our ownership awards, and take responsibility for commercial performance against it.
Lead proposals, resource planning and partner negotiation for high-complexity engagements, identify renewals and extensions, and contribute to the practice pipeline and the weekly commercial meeting.

Quality and expertise

Bring depth in one or more of our specialisms, quality assure colleagues' outputs, and combine sector understanding with our offers to create propositions that drive partnership and business development opportunities.

People and leadership

Act as a coach and role model across the practice, supporting colleagues in their development.
Foster an inclusive team culture in line with our values, and contribute to strong employee engagement.

Practice and Group

Contribute to Group-wide work, our residentials and professional development programme, and to setting and reviewing objectives.
