Job description

Working as Business Manager at Oliver Benson is a prestigious position. You will act as a commercial signboard for our business.

Your core role comprises networking, advising and (consultative) selling.

As Business Manager at Oliver Benson, you will be responsible for one specific business unit. Within this business unit, you will actively sell our services to our clients and build up strong, principled, professional relationships with specialist consultants in order to be able to connect/staff in a later phase.

80% of your time will be spent selling our services using an advisory sales approach. The remaining 20% will be spent building up relationships with specialist consultants using a variety of headhunting methodologies.

In the long term, you will manage your business unit completely independently, with the ability to perfectly match supply and demand. You will act as a mini CEO, so this is an exceptionally challenging role.

You will report to the Partner & Managing Consultant.
