Associate Director - Business Development (Portfolio Opportunity | Profit Share)

Are you an experienced professional with a strong network and a portfolio career?

Change Specialists is looking for Associate Directors to introduce organisations to our business transformation and digital change consultancy.

This opportunity is particularly suited to senior leaders, fractional executives, independent consultants and experienced professionals who enjoy building trusted relationships and are looking for a flexible, commercially focused opportunity.

The Opportunity

As an Associate Director, you will act as a trusted ambassador for Change Specialists, identifying opportunities and introducing organisations that could benefit from our expertise in business transformation, digital change, organisational design, technology, operational improvement and programme delivery.

This is not a traditional sales role. Success comes from credibility, relationship building and recognising where organisations need experienced support, not high pressure selling.

You will focus on developing opportunities while our experienced team supports solution design, proposal development, delivery, contracting, procurement, framework access and operational administration.

We have the infrastructure already in place, including established delivery capability, public sector procurement routes and access to frameworks such as G-Cloud, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best: building relationships and creating opportunities.

Who We're Looking For

You'll be well suited to this opportunity if you:

• Have an established professional network and access to senior decision makers, or the confidence to build those relationships over time.
• Enjoy developing trusted, long term business relationships.
• Operate independently, work fractionally or are developing a portfolio career.
• Are commercially credible, self motivated and comfortable creating opportunities through your own business development activity.
• Value the flexibility of working autonomously while being supported by an experienced consultancy team.

Previous experience in consulting, business transformation, digital transformation, programme delivery or professional services is helpful but not essential.

Reward

This is a profit share opportunity, not a salaried/day rate position. There is no basic salary or retainer, and your income is directly linked to the business you generate and is uncapped.

For professionals with established networks and a proactive approach to relationship led business development, this can become a valuable additional income stream alongside an existing portfolio career.
