Account Development Manager Remote
Job description
BPP is seeking an experienced Account Development Manager who specialises in the legal and apprenticeship sectors. The successful candidate will have a keen understanding of the legal market and the current skills gaps experienced by law firms, including those of in-house legal teams as well as private practice.
As Account Development Manager, you will be responsible for creating lasting relationships with clients and helping them to develop their staff to bridge their skills gaps through BPPs programmes. You will also identify gaps that BPP can assist with and create bespoke programmes that meet the unique needs of each client.
The ideal candidate should be a trusted advisor and developer, capable of articulating the BPP portfolio and what it stands for, and be able to persuade clients to embed BPP as a core part of their culture.
We are looking for someone who has experience in developing client relationships and programmes, with a proven track record of success. The Account Development Manager must be able to effectively communicate with clients, building rapport and understanding their needs to deliver exceptional service and tailored programmes.
If you are a strategic thinker with a passion for education and a desire to make a difference in the legal industry, we want to hear from you. Join BPP and help shape the future of legal education.
Choose a better work-life balance
You will have the flexibility of a home-based role, with the option to work from one of our centres should you wish. Either way, you’ll benefit from a vibrant workplace and a culture that believes in looking after others, while being part of a diverse workforce where difference is celebrated. In addition, you’ll work alongside other like-minded professionals who champion progress, while having opportunities to develop in an environment where creativity and innovation is rewarded. On top of a competitive salary, we provide a generous annual leave entitlement of 28 days, and there’s a rewards package that includes retail discounts, Group Personal Pension Plan, dedicated healthcare and dental plans that offer additional assurance to look after you and your family. Brilliantly, you can also study any of BPP’s courses for free – be it a professional qualification or full degree.
