Business Development Consultant

Role: Business Development Consultant - Social Care Solutions

Location: Liverpool

Working model: Hybrid - 2 days in the office, 3 days working from home

Contract: Full Time, Permanent

As a Business Development Consultant, you’ll lead on winning new business across the public sector - focusing on local authorities and social care services.

This is a business development role where you’ll take ownership of building a pipeline, opening doors, and securing new partnerships. You’ll engage senior stakeholders, understand their workforce challenges, and position solutions that deliver real impact.

This is not a traditional recruitment role. While sector knowledge will come, your success will be driven by your ability to identify opportunities, generate conversations, and convert them into long-term business.

What you’ll be doing

• Driving new client acquisition across local authorities and public sector organisations
• Building and managing a targeted pipeline of prospects using CRM and market insight
• Cold calling, outreach, and networking to create opportunities and meetings
• Engaging and influencing senior stakeholders and decision makers
• Leading consultative sales conversations to understand client challenges and position solutions
• Working with internal specialists to develop and deliver tailored proposals
• Converting opportunities into new business wins and long-term partnerships

What makes this role different

• A true hunter role with full ownership of new business generation
• Access to existing prospect lists, data tools, and CRM (HubSpot) to accelerate your success
• Opportunity to sell solutions, not just services
• A long-term sales environment focused on high-value, strategic wins

What we’re looking for

Must-have experience

• Proven track record of winning new business in a BD or sales role
• Strong experience in cold outreach, pipeline building, and deal conversion
• Confident engaging and selling to senior stakeholders
• Experience working towards targets and revenue goals

Nice to have

• Experience selling into the public sector or regulated industries
• Background in consultative, solutions-based sales
• Exposure to recruitment, consultancy, or managed services

What will make you successful

• Tenacity and resilience in long sales cycles
• Ability to open doors and create opportunities from scratch
• A structured, organised approach to managing pipeline and activity
• Strong communication and influencing skills
