This isn't a job for someone who wants to "manage relationships".
It's for someone who knows how to build them - and turn them into something commercially meaningful.
The company? A fast-growing energy consultancy that's tripled in size over the last few years. They're not slowing down. And they're not interested in hiring someone who is.
They work in nuclear. You'll need to know your way around that world - or be sharp enough to learn fast. You'll be the person who sees the opportunity before it's obvious, gets the right people talking, and helps shape the strategy that wins the work.
You'll be reporting into senior leadership. You'll have access to the kind of conversations that actually move the needle. And you'll be expected to contribute - not just follow instructions.
What you'll actually be doing:

• Building multi-year account plans that make sense
• Getting in front of decision-makers and making sure they know what you bring
• Spotting opportunities before your competitors do
• Coordinating internal teams so the client experience doesn't fall apart
• Negotiating contracts and MSAs without needing a babysitter
• Using Salesforce properly (not just ticking boxes)
• Representing the business at events, meetings, and anywhere else that matters
• Supporting bids and helping shape the win themes
• Feeding back client insight that actually gets listened to

What you'll need:

• A degree in something relevant (engineering, science, management, marketing - you get the idea)
• Experience in business development and/or the UK nuclear sector
• The ability to talk about technical stuff without sounding like a robot
• Confidence in sales, negotiation, and strategic planning
• A bit of commercial savvy and a lot of initiative
• Strong communication skills - written, spoken, and everything in between
• A decent grasp of CRM tools (Salesforce, SAP, etc.)

What's in it for you?

• A company that's growing fast - and wants you to grow with it
• Work that actually matters, in a sector that's shaping the future
• A team that values diversity, innovation, and getting things done
• Competitive pay and a proper benefits package
• A chance to build something, not just maintain it

If you're looking for a comfy role where you can coast - this isn't it.
If you want to make an impact in a sector that's going places, let's talk.
