Job Description

Allen & York are delighted to be working with a dynamic, fast-growing management consultancy that excels in project and programme management. They are now looking to recruit a Managing Consultant for Business Development to sit within their climate security and sustainability division, working with clients predominantly in the public sector. The role involves offering a range of services including climate resilience, adaptation, nature-based solutions, and net-zero pathways. You will be responsible for identifying opportunities, contributing to tenders, and converting these into deliverable actions.

You should have proven experience in a similar capacity, preferably within a consultancy, with strengths in building strong relationships with senior stakeholders and possessing a solid technical knowledge of sustainability and climate change.

Experience in the defence sector is advantageous but not essential. More importantly, you should be capable of developing relationships, identifying growth opportunities, and maximizing them. Additionally, you’ll oversee a team of Principal Consultants, managing work allocation and ensuring team utilization.

The role is based in Bristol, accessible for those in the South West, but applications are welcome from further afield, with visits to the office once or twice a month expected.

Reporting to the Director for the Net Zero business and one level removed from shareholders, this is a senior position offering a competitive salary and attractive benefits.

If you are a seasoned business developer with strong technical expertise in sustainability and climate change, and interested in this opportunity, please send your CV to [e-mail].

About us: Allen & York have been matching purposeful people with purpose-led organizations for 30 years. We partner with our clients and candidates on roles that promote understanding of climate change, sustainability, and inclusivity, working towards a sustainable world. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of background, gender, beliefs, or other characteristics. Let’s work together to build a better world.
