Business Development Manager (Skills Bootcamps)

Job Description

Business Development Manager – Skills Bootcamps (Digital) | Bristol/Bath | £40,000–£45,000 + Bonus | Permanent

\n

A digital learning provider delivering DfE-funded Skills Bootcamps is hiring a BDM to own employer engagement across the West of England. This is a commercial, region-owning role — you'll be building the employer network that gets bootcamp graduates hired, not managing an existing book.

\n

The role:

\n

\n
• Build a verified employer network across Bristol/Bath, securing commitments to interview and hire Skills Bootcamp graduates

\n

• Generate new business and manage relationships with employers, LEPs, Chambers of Commerce, and regional growth stakeholders

\n

• Represent the organisation at regional events and industry forums

\n

• Work with delivery teams to align employer demand with live programme provision

\n

• Track activity against KPIs on employer sign-ups and learner outcomes

\n

• Support tender bids with employer engagement evidence and regional market intelligence

\n\n

We're looking for:

\n

\n
• Skills Bootcamp business development experience — essential, not negotiable

\n

• An existing employer network across Bristol/Bath or the wider West of England

\n

• Comfortable owning a geography independently and hitting targets without hand-holding

\n

• Familiarity with tender-led, funded delivery environments

\n\n

What's on offer:

\n

\n
• £35,000–£45,000 basic, dependent on experience

\n

• Performance-related bonus

\n

• Remote-based with regional travel, flexible working

\n\n
