In this role, you’ll not only manage the full recruitment cycle but will own the client development process — from identifying new school partnerships to nurturing long-term relationships and delivering high-quality international staffing solutions.

• Pipeline and lead management: Actively manage your client portfolio and track progress against revenue goals and BD KPIs.
• Cross-collaborate: Work with internal recruitment teams to ensure high-quality candidate delivery for your clients.
• Market intelligence: Stay up-to-date with education recruitment trends, competitor activity, and international candidate markets to identify new business opportunities.

• Proven track record in business development — able to demonstrate:
• Number of new client accounts won
• Monthly or quarterly revenue achieved
• Conversion rates or client retention metrics
• Confident in outbound engagement (calls, email, LinkedIn) and building rapport quickly.
• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills.
• Tech-savvy, with experience using CRMs, video platforms, and online sourcing tools.
• Self-driven, resilient, and comfortable working across time zones.
• Must have a reliable internet connection and own laptop.
