• Lead or support funding bids and commercial proposals
• Contribute to contract development and partner negotiations

• Work with delivery teams to shape offers that meet real demand
• Track progress and partnerships through CRM and reporting tools

What you’ll bring

• A strong background in business development, partnerships, or sales 
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience in training, education, sustainability, or a related sector
• Strategic thinking and a proactive, opportunity-focused mindset
• Confidence in commercial writing and bid contributions

Why join us?

• Be part of a mission-led and growing organisation making a real environmental and social difference

• Play a central role in shaping strategy and unlocking opportunities
• Enjoy flexible working and a supportive, values-driven culture
• Work where purpose meets progress, with opportunities for CPD, career development, and real impact
