Business Development Manager
We are growing and we need to enlist more firepower in our Business Development team.
We are lucky enough to be an intentionally remote business, working from home full time, but getting together for team meetings and any excuse for a social. Ideally our new recruit would be local-ish to the Ashford area with a space at home suitable for focus and productivity.
Hours
Monday to Friday. You will be required to work 8 hours per day (7.5 on a Friday) but when is up to you. We run ‘glide time’ between 07:30-19:30 so as long as you are there for when the business needs you, the rest is up to you.
Work remotely
Yes
Job Types
Full-time, Permanent
