About the role

We are looking for a Regional Development Manager to join our team, reporting to the Global Sales Manager. In this role, you will lead on developing key accounts within your region, driving the uptake of EAL products and services while maintaining a strong focus on quality and regulatory compliance.

This is a varied role where you will both grow existing relationships and seek out new opportunities. You will work across a range of revenue streams, including apprenticeships, qualifications and wider commercial services, helping to strengthen EAL’s presence and impact in the market.

What you’ll be doing

You will manage a portfolio of key accounts, working closely with customers to grow regional revenue and expand engagement across different products and services. Alongside this, you will lead new business activity, building a strong pipeline through proactive outreach, networking and well-targeted engagement.

Building strong, visible relationships will be a central part of the role. You will spend time with customers face to face, delivering presentations and discussing their needs, while using market insight and customer feedback to shape your approach and identify new opportunities for growth.

You will also oversee the onboarding of new centres, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience, and lead recognition renewals to maximise both customer satisfaction and revenue. Keeping accurate records on CRM systems and maintaining a clear view of your pipeline will be an important part of day to day activity.

Working with colleagues across sales, marketing, industry and digital teams, you will help deliver regional strategies and campaigns, acting as a knowledgeable and credible representative for EAL’s full product offer.

What we’re looking for

You will have a strong track record of managing and growing key accounts within the education/skills sector, with clear experience of achieving revenue targets and expanding market share. Experience of generating new business through outreach, networking and delivering presentations is also important.

You will be confident building relationships with a range of stakeholders, including colleges, training providers and employers, and comfortable engaging face to face. Strong communication skills are essential, along with the ability to present information clearly and persuasively.

You will be well organised and able to manage multiple priorities, with a good eye for detail when it comes to CRM usage and reporting. A practical, solutions-focused approach and the ability to respond to challenges as they arise will help you succeed in the role.
