Business Development Representative

At Strengthscope®, we help people perform at their best by understanding and using their strengths every day. For over two decades, we’ve supported global organisations, public sector bodies and growing businesses to build stronger leaders, more engaged teams and high-performing cultures through strengths-based development.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a curious, commercially minded Business Development Representative to create new business opportunities, manage smaller opportunities from first conversation to close, and help organisations solve real people and performance challenges.

Strengthscope is actively seeking to maintain and increase the diversity of our team and encourage candidates to apply if they meet even some of the criteria below. We value curiosity, ambition, resilience and potential just as much as previous experience.

Research target organisations to understand business priorities, people challenges and strategic initiatives

Work closely with Marketing and the New Business Sales Manager to test target segments, refine messaging and improve campaign performance using data and prospect feedback

Identify and engage decision-makers across HR, Talent, L&D, Leadership Development and People functions

Run thoughtful multi-channel outreach across LinkedIn, email, phone, events and referrals, including follow-up on marketing-generated leads

Qualify opportunities through effective discovery conversations and book high-quality meetings for the New Business team

Own opportunities within the SMB market segment, from introductory meetings and product demonstrations through proposal and close

Develop tailored proposals aligned to client objectives and manage opportunities through the sales cycle

Close new business against an individual revenue target and ensure a smooth handover to delivery and customer success

Build deep expertise in strengths-based development, leadership, engagement and organisational performance.

We hire for potential as much as experience. You’ll likely thrive if you are:

Curious: you enjoy understanding businesses, people and what drives organisational performance

Commercially motivated: you’re energised by targets, growth and ambitious outcomes

A strong communicator: you write clearly, professionally and persuasively, adapting your style to different audiences

Resilient and coachable: you learn from setbacks, seek feedback and keep developing your skills

Organised: you manage follow-up activity, CRM data and opportunity progression with discipline

Purpose-driven: you’re excited to help organisations create engaging, high-performing workplaces.

1–2 years’ experience in a business development, sales or customer-facing commercial role

Experience prospecting through outbound channels such as LinkedIn, email and telephone

Experience managing a pipeline, progressing opportunities or building customer relationships

Experience using Salesforce or a similar CRM is helpful, but not essential.

We’re a purpose-led business with ambitious growth plans and a collaborative culture. You’ll work with experienced commercial and leadership development professionals, build a consultative sales skillset, develop relationships with senior leaders, and make a meaningful contribution to our growth strategy.

You’ll be trusted with real ownership from day one, supported by coaching and development, and given the opportunity to grow your career as the business grows.
