Business Development Manager

Back

Convergent is growing and we’re looking to hire a business development manager to help with the expansion of our inclusion consultancy. This person will sit right at the heart of achieving our ambitious targets for 2022 and 2023 and accelerate the growth we’ve achieved in the last few years.

We work with organisations of all sizes and across a broad range of industries: running inclusive leadership programmes, awareness-raising, leadership support and training sessions, and consultancy.
