Be part of the Net Zero solution

At Consultus, we work with some of the most complex, high-consumption organisations in the UK and beyond; helping them cut costs, manage risk, and transition to sustainable operations. Our team is known for integrity, technical depth, and real-world impact - and we’re growing.

We’re looking for a proven Business Development Manager to join our consultancy. Someone who can navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, close high-value deals with enterprise clients, and help clients achieve long-term value in their energy and utility strategy.

What you’ll be doing

• Drive new business across large multi-site and international clients

• Sell Consultus’ suite of services through a consultative, insight-led approach

• Engage senior stakeholders with tailored, commercially sound solutions

• Own your region and pipeline with support from marketing and sector specialists

• Represent the Consultus values in every interaction, with professionalism and purpose

You must have a track record of selling:

· Utility procurement
For high-consumption, multi-site and/or international organisations – including electricity, gas, water, and metering. You’ll understand fixed, flexible, and consortia-based strategies inside out

· Market intelligence & risk management
You’ve sold insight-driven buying strategies, risk advisory, and active trading support, helping clients buy smarter in volatile markets

· Renewable sourcing
You’re confident advising on green certificates, off-site PPAs, and embedding sustainability into energy procurement decisions

· Utility bureau services
You understand the value of invoice validation, payment bureau, and robust financial/data reporting – and know how to position these services with finance and operations leads

· Cost optimisation
You’ve delivered cost recovery and analytics-led savings, using data to improve long-term client performance

Our values matter to us, and to succeed here, you’ll want to:

• Be Distinctive: Stand out for the right reasons, bringing originality and confidence

• Work Together: Collaborate openly and share success with your colleagues and clients

• Act with Integrity: Build trust through honesty, transparency, and accountability

• Commit to Continual Development: Always look to learn, improve, and support others’ growth

• Pursue Excellence: Set high standards and deliver results you’re proud of

• Create Delight: Go beyond expectations to leave clients better than you found them

Why Consultus?

• True market differentiation – A mature, values-led consultancy with technical excellence at its core

• High-value client base – You’ll work with major brands across sectors, shaping complex solutions

• Real earning potential – Uncapped commission, warm opportunities, and no glass ceiling

• Supportive environment – Strong sales, marketing, and delivery infrastructure

• Hybrid working – With access to regional hubs and flexibility to focus on delivery

Think you’re a good fit?
