Business Development Manager

Milk Education | Liverpool City Centre HQ

Experienced Education Recruiter ready to focus on business development?

I'm looking to speak with experienced education recruiters who want to move away from the full 360 desk and focus on growing existing business, developing client relationships and generating new business.

If you've got a track record of winning business, enjoy getting in front of clients and want to focus on the commercial side of recruitment without the day to day demands of candidate management and compliance, this could be the opportunity for you.

Why Milk Education?

We're a growing, independent education recruitment business with a clear purpose and a genuine commitment to the schools and communities we support.

We've grown from 4 offices to 9 nationwide, with more than 150 people across the wider group, and we're still growing.

From our dedicated Learning and Development team to our Make Life Kind charity and Unbottled initiative, we're passionate about doing things differently and creating opportunities for our people to thrive.

The Role

You'll initially focus on business development across our Primary, Secondary and SEND divisions, building partnerships with schools and creating opportunities to grow our presence in the education market.

You'll be responsible for:

• Growing existing client relationships and identifying new opportunities.
• Winning new school partnerships and developing your client portfolio.
• Meeting clients face to face, understanding their needs and presenting recruitment solutions.
• Generating new business through proactive outreach and networking.
• Building a strong pipeline and converting opportunities into revenue.
• Working closely with our recruitment teams to deliver the right solutions for schools.

This isn't a traditional 360 recruitment role. Your focus will be on winning business, developing relationships and driving growth, without the day to day demands of candidate management and compliance.

Who We're Looking For

• A background in education recruitment.
• A proven track record of winning new business and growing accounts.
• Confidence building relationships and meeting clients face to face.
• A commercial, proactive mindset with a strong drive to deliver results.
• Someone who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities and turning conversations into business.

What You'll Get

• Competitive commission structure
• The opportunity to focus on business development without a full 360 desk.
• Clear career progression with no glass ceiling.
• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays, birthday and charity days.
• Flexible working with up to 3 Empowering Days per month.
• Industry leading technology and ongoing Learning and Development.
• Online GP and critical illness cover.
• Wellness initiatives, Friday early finishes, office dogs and regular socials.
• Free mortgage advice and two major company wide events each year.

Ready for Something Different?

If you're an experienced education recruiter who loves the commercial side of the job and wants to focus on growing business rather than running a full 360 desk, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.
