This is a senior, hands-on role
. You will be trusted to run matters independently, think commercially, and deliver work to a high standard with minimal supervision
. Commercial contracts experience is an advantage, but strong corporate capability is essential
.

✅ You have been actively involved in business development and building your professional reputation

✅ You have some level of client following or demonstrable BD success
, with ambition to grow this further

✅ You value culture, humility, and team-first behaviour as much as technical excellence

This is not a role for someone who needs constant hand-holding. It is a role for someone who takes responsibility, enjoys trust, and wants to build something meaningful.

At IMD:

• Humility is non-negotiable
• Emotional intelligence is required
• Ego has no place here, regardless of seniority or following
• We hire builders, not takers
• Values and attitude come before titles

Technical excellence matters.

How you (and everyone in our team) behave matters more.
