About Culture Impact

At Culture Impact, we are a small but growing leadership and culture consultancy with a distinctive psychological approach and a unique way of working with culture. Our work is niche, relational, and impactful. We help leaders and organisations transform culture into a strategic asset by optimising the behavioural patterns that drive decision-making and performance, empowering businesses to achieve measurable, sustainable success.

We are a close-knit team who value connection, curiosity, and collaboration. We take pride in the strength of our partnerships and in delivering work that makes a difference by leaning into our values:

• Partnership First. We build deep, trusted relationships with our clients, grounded in respect, challenge, and a shared commitment to long-term success.
• Speak the Unspoken. We create space for open and honest dialogue. By surfacing what’s often left unspoken, we unlock clarity, build trust, and move teams forward together
• Human, Always. We honour the full complexity of people. With empathy and courage, we meet individuals where they are, supporting growth, challenge, and connection.
• Bold Standard. We demand excellence of ourselves and our work. Precise. Thoughtful. Impactful. Everything we deliver is designed to make a real difference.
• Innovate to Lead . We don’t follow trends, we anticipate change. Through bold thinking and fresh perspectives, we help our clients lead with confidence in a fast-moving world.

We’re a purpose-driven consultancy working with organisations to build cultures that unlock performance, leadership, and engagement. Our clients span sectors and geographies, and we’re growing fast. We’re now looking for a commercially minded Business Development professional to help us scale our impact.

Monitoring market trends and contributing to our strategic sales approach will also be integral to this role.

We’re seeking someone who can hit the ground running, someone who knows the culture and leadership space, understands how to build trust with HR and senior leaders, and can convert interest into meaningful client conversations.

• Work with suppliers to improve the inbound lead process and identify new channels and sources of new business.
• Represent our brand with credibility, warmth, and insight
• Supporting Organising, coordination and participation of Sales Events and Business Development Activities.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in business development, sales, or partnerships, ideally in consulting, L&D, OD, or leadership development
• Strong network in the HR, people, or leadership space
• Confidence in leading sales conversations with senior stakeholders
• Ability to work independently and flexibly, we’re open to shaping the role around the right person
• Based in the UK, proximity to Manchester/North West England is a bonus

What We Offer

• A values-led team with a strong track record and growing client base
• Opportunity to shape the role and grow with us
• Commission and performance-based incentives

We commit to giving our own people the opportunity and space to grow personally and professionally, and to contribute to the evolution of our business. We offer practical benefits, including a competitive salary and flexibility.
