• We are seeking a driven Business Development Manager, ideally based in or within easy reach of London, to lead growth for our high-end US and Oxbridge education consulting services across the UK.
• The successful candidate will be responsible for driving revenue growth in the UK market through proactive outreach, relationship building, and full-cycle consultative sales.

Excellent negotiation, interpersonal, and communication skills are essential, along with the confidence to build trust with parents, students, and school stakeholders across the UK.
• A degree in Business, Education, Finance, or a related field is preferred, with additional training or certification in sales or client advisory considered an asset.
