Growth and Development Executive

Growth and Development Executive The Growth and Development Lead is responsible for driving the strategic expansion of the organisation's service provision, identifying and developing opportunities for sustainable growth across existing and emerging markets. Working within the Business Development team, the role will initially focus on expanding the organisation's construction-related provision, increasing market presence, developing new partnerships, and securing opportunities that align with organisational objectives. As the construction portfolio becomes established and growth targets are achieved, the role will evolve to lead the expansion of provision into additional sectors and subject areas. This includes identifying market demand, shaping new service offerings, building relationships with employers, stakeholders and funding bodies, and supporting the development of innovative programmes that meet workforce and industry needs. The Growth and Development Lead will work collaboratively with operational, curriculum and quality teams to ensure new opportunities are effectively implemented, commercially viable, and deliver positive outcomes for learners, employers and the organisation. The role requires a proactive, commercially minded individual with strong relationship-building skills, strategic thinking, and the ability to translate market intelligence into sustainable business growth. 🎁 Perks & Benefits – Because You Deserve It! 🎁 🎉 25 days holiday, increasing to 30 with service 💰 Buy & sell annual leave 🏋️ Earn an extra week of leave just by exercising! 🚗 Paid mileage (35p per mile, above normal work mileage) 📞 Employee Assistance Program (EAP) 🏆 Long service & special recognition awards 🎟️ Juniper Lottery & Dragons’ Den competitions ⭐ PRIDE monthly celebrations 🕑 Early Finish Fridays (2:30pm!) 🎄 Christmas Savings Club 👀 Eyecare reimbursement 🚲 Cycle to Work Scheme ⚡ Electric Car Scheme (after 5 years’ service) 🛡️ Critical Illness Cover (after 5 years’ service) 🎉 Corporate events throughout the year! 🌍 Diversity, Inclusion & Safeguarding At Juniper Training Ltd , we believe that language should never be a barrier to opportunity.
