Academy Business Development Manager
Ready to build a sports legacy? Passionate about sport, sales, and turning ambition into action?
We’re not just launching a new Sports Academy — we’re redefining how education and elite sport can coexist. And we need a powerhouse of a Business Development Manager to lead the charge.
About the Role
This isn’t a job — it’s a mission. You’ll be the architect of our brand-new multi-sport Academy at Askham Bryan College, shaping everything from partnerships to programmes, talent pipelines to facilities. This is your chance to turn vision into reality and play a pivotal role in the lives of future athletes.
What You'll Do
* Design and launch the College’s Sports Academy model from scratch
* Forge partnerships with clubs, schools, governing bodies, and elite organisations
* Create elite pathways for student-athletes and build recruitment pipelines
* Shape training, events, and competitions from local leagues to international exposure
* Be the face of the Academy — pitch it, sell it, live it
* Align sport with academic excellence (yes, it’s possible!)
* Proven experience in sport-focused business development
* Energy, ideas, and drive to build something new and make it fly
* A black book full of sports contacts (and the charm to grow it)
* Experience developing talent pathways and elite performance programmes
* A sporty edge — maybe you're UEFA C or B licenced (or similar)
* Serious influencing, presenting, and people skills
Why You’ll Love It Here:
* £38,664 base + £10K bonus — because talent should be rewarded
* Hybrid working with a stunning York campus HQ
* Free on-site Wildlife Park (seriously, we have lemurs)
* Discounted gym, top-tier facilities, and a whole College behind you
* Room to grow: this role evolves as you do
If you’ve got a head for business and a heart for sport, this is your moment.
Apply now and let’s build something legendary together.
