Job purpose
The University of Warwick is one of the world’s leading Universities with an entrepreneurial and innovative mindset. We operate out of a world-class campus situated in the heart of England. Expanding our Business Partnership capabilities are a key part of realising our vision. To this end we are recruiting for three Business Partnership Manager roles to drive the growth and depth of our Business Partnerships both in the UK and globally. Business Partnerships operates in a space spanning academic and professional departments as well as facilitating interactions with external organisations. As such it provides an incredible viewpoint on the breadth of work undertaken in higher education.
This is an exciting opportunity for a successful candidate to join the Business Partnerships team, a collegiate, vibrant and dynamic department that provides a vital contribution in supporting Warwick’s Business Partnership development activity. We are looking for individuals who share our drive and ambition, are comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment and working to targets. Successful candidates will have demonstrable experience working with senior stakeholders up to and including the C-Suite of major blue-chip companies. The Business Partnership Managers will work with colleagues in our Faculties to provide pro-active support to developing and deepening partnerships with business.
We collaborate with organisations to create innovative and transformational partnerships that deliver measurable mutual impact and grow over time. Based on your experience, you will be able to make an immediate contribution to this process. As a Business Partnership Manager, you will be responsible for initiating and managing business development opportunities from prospect to close and meeting annual business targets.
The role is particularly suited to an individual with a strong background in business development, client relationship management and organisation development. You will be expected to work closely with stakeholders across the University to form partnerships that deliver mutual impact for organisations.
Strong communication, influencing and presentation skills will be essential. Although the post will be based in Warwick, regular travel in UK will be expected along with potential European / International travel.
We invite applications from candidates with a proven track record of success, building a portfolio of business through a consultative selling process.
