The Role

Win the projects. Build the pipeline.

Lead a Business Development team at Blackmont Consulting, and own how your branch finds and secures its client work.

Why Blackmont

Blackmont Consulting is a student-led consulting organisation founded in 2020. We deliver rigorous, insight-driven pro bono advisory work for startups, nonprofits and growing organisations across multiple markets, and we develop the next generation of consultants while doing it. None of it happens without projects. Business Development is where it starts.

The role

As Business Development Manager, you lead the team that secures your branch's projects. You set the outreach strategy, coach your team through every stage from first message to signed agreement, and make sure the pipeline never runs dry.
