Strong B2B experience, ideally including partnership development and corporate engagement. Exposure to service delivery environments (health, SEN, autism, social care or similar) would be highly advantageous. Excellent stakeholder management skills, including experience working alongside high-profile partners and public figures (while remaining focused on representing the organisation rather than being front and centre). Strong operational grip - confident overseeing CRM, digital channels and agency relationships. The ability to provide crystal-clear direction and decision-making. Personally, you will be: Emotionally intelligent and empathetic. Calm, steady and resilient. A leader who sets the tone by example rather than authority. Clear, decisive and comfortable in a performance-led culture. Collaborative and able to navigate complex internal and external relationships. This is not a role for someone overly rigid or overly corporate - success here requires balance, warmth and commercial awareness in equal measure. Why Join Nordoff and Robbins Now?
