Learning & Development Partnerships Manager
u&u Recruitment Partners is excited to partner with a well-established, award-winning professional services organisation that has been developing safety, engagement, and leadership programs for customers in high-risk industries for close to two decades. The organisation's bespoke learning and communication packages are developed using a unique mixture of human-centred design, coupled with a deep understanding of adult learning methodology, resulting in simplified messaging, increased uptake, and an immersive experience that has resulted in real change for some of the world’s leading organisations.
As part of the company’s ongoing growth strategy, there is currently an exciting opportunity to join this high-growth, people-focused organisation in the role of L&D Partnerships / Business Development Manager.
The role
Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, you will play a critical role in continuing to grow the company’s professional services offering in high-risk sectors such as construction/infrastructure, utilities, transport, and FMCG.
More specifically, you will be involved in the following:
* Engaging with current and prospective customers to build authentic, long-term relationships, while providing industry insights;
* Uncovering potential opportunities for the company’s services through the development and nurturing of leads, conducting discovery meetings and presentations, and representing the company at industry events and tradeshows;
* Building and delivering high-quality proposals that address the challenges of clients;
* Contract negotiation and closing, along with the seamless handover of projects to the company’s in-house development team; and
* Keeping customer records up to date through HubSpot and managing projects through a sales pipeline.
About you
To be successful in this role, you will most likely come from one of two backgrounds. Firstly, you may be in a similar Business Development or client-facing role for a professional services organisation where you’re providing services and solutions to senior HR, L&D, or safety leaders. Alternatively, you are currently in a mid to senior Learning & Development role, and you have enjoyed working with internal business managers; however, you’re now looking to expand your influence into a broader external client base with more commercial responsibility.
In addition, you will also possess the following traits and skills:
* You’re a people person who is consultative by nature and motivated by creating “light bulb” moments and solving problems;
* You’re a confident and engaging communicator, with a warm and genuine style, and you enjoy connecting with people;
* You’re curious by nature, possess strong listening skills, and enjoy understanding what makes businesses tick;
* You’re highly motivated and self-driven, yet you enjoy being part of a team and collaborating;
* You’re creative and possess a strategic mindset; and
* You possess sound IT skills and are comfortable with CRM or similar systems.
Benefits
* Competitive salary package ($140,000 - $160,000 p.a) + super with uncapped performance bonuses;
* Be part of a dynamic, diverse, and friendly team;
* Flexible working conditions; and
* Work with L&D, HR, and Safety leaders to drive real change.
