Overview

Change Grow Live are looking for Business Development Managers to join our national Business Development Team.

We want experienced business development professionals or individuals with comparable/transferrable experience, who share our passion for supporting people to make positive changes in their lives.

Responsibilities

We are one of the UK’s largest charities, providing a range of services including community and prison substance misuse, criminal justice, adult wellbeing, children and young people’s and housing/homelessness.

We want experienced business development professionals or individuals with comparable/transferrable experience, who share our passion for supporting people to make positive changes in their lives.

Joining us means taking on a key leadership role as part of our successful national team, and the chance to share and further develop your skills, knowledge and experience, whilst working with great people from across our organisation.

Last year we submitted over 40 tenders, winning and retaining contracts with an annual value of almost £50 million but what this really means to us is that we can provide more support to more people across the UK.

The role

Working as part of Change Grow Live’s national Business Development Team, you will lead and manage one of our four regional Business Development Teams.

You will have joint responsibility for retaining existing contracts and winning new business opportunities in your region, including all aspects of the tender process.

You will work collaboratively with senior stakeholders including Executive Directors, Directors, clinicians and departmental leads to develop service delivery models, budgets and partnerships for tenders.

As part of our Business Development Management Team you will lead on improving the quality of our work and developing our team culture, by thinking creatively, sharing your own knowledge and experiences, and challenging existing ways of working.

Ultimately you play a key role in the design, development and delivery of our services and will help us to deliver on our organisational mission, strategy and values.

Check out the job description for more information, and you can call Guy Rainey, Head of Business Development, to discuss this role further.
