But do you look at roles within this sector and think they lack a commercial edge or require outright politics experience? We have a unique role with a political communications firm who seek a business development director. This is a unique role, with a golden product to sell that companies literally rush to buy because they want to influence government. If you have a flair for sales and developing business, you love niche and eye catching products and you love your politics then this rare job opportunity has your name all over it. The communication product is unique and this role is entirely because of growth – not bad considering the 2009 the UK economy has seen. But this is no easy role. You will need to be not just talented with a proven track record of growing sales and clients, but determined, focused, able to communicate at all levels, able to lead a team, able to meet targets and be credible and commercially sassy. You will get the opportunity to speak to some of the biggest names in politics – so you must have gravitas and know how to build long term business relationships. You do not need to be involved in the political scene, we are not seeking someone to craft beautiful speeches or world changing policy. We need sharp minded business people with a proven sales track record who have a keen interest in politics. In return, you will join a company at a time of great opportunity and you will get the chance to help grow the company, the brand and the products within the political and opinion forming community. You will have real autonomy to develop your area and you will have massive support from the Directors. If you have not had strong sales experience this role is not right for you. This is a stand out role – a role that is both commercial and political requiring savvy but deep rooted interested in our political system. If you fit the bill, then contact us today in strict confidence.
