Join our team
At Hitchin Technologies, our mission is to foster world-class engineering in the UK by championing the growth and success of engineering professionals. We are building a consultancy that drives innovation, efficiency, and people development anchored in integrity, partnership, and empowerment
Our vision is bold: to be the leading force behind a thriving, inclusive engineering community where talent is nurtured, careers are accelerated, and engineering excellence sets the global standard
The Challenge (Our Shackleton Moment)
This is not a role for the faint-hearted.
You will step into an environment where:
* Cold starts are frequent. Warm pipelines are built from persistence, creativity, and discipline.
* The pace is relentless. We're building something bigger than ourselves, and the bar for excellence is high.
* Recognition is earned, not given. The honour lies in shaping the future of UK engineering.
If you're looking for comfort, this isn't it. If you're looking for impact, growth, and a legacy, you're in the right place.
The Role
As a Business Development & Growth Partner, you will:
* Identify, engage, and nurture high-fit organisations and decision-makers.
* Build trusted partnerships that lead to long-term opportunities.
* Translate our technical excellence into compelling outreach and growth strategies.
* Work alongside leadership to expand our market presence, one meaningful conversation at a time.
This is about precision over volume. We don't spray-and-pray—we target, engage, and convert.
What We Expect (The 7 Habits in Action)
* Be Proactive – Take ownership of outreach and results. No waiting for instructions.
* Begin with the End in Mind – Keep client success and long-term partnerships as the ultimate goal.
* Put First Things First – Focus on high-value opportunities, not distractions.
* Think Win-Win – Build solutions and relationships where everyone prospers.
* Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood – Listen deeply to clients before positioning solutions.
* Synergise – Collaborate across Hitchin Technologies, empowering colleagues and clients alike.
* Sharpen the Saw – Commit to continuous growth, development, and reflection.
What Success Looks Like
* Month 1–2: Embedded in our ICP (Ideal Client Profile), learning tools, language, and positioning.
* Month 3–4: Consistently generating 10–15 warm conversations/month with decision-makers.
* Month 6+: Driving revenue impact and helping Hitchin Technologies secure its place as a trusted partner to leading engineering organisations.
What You'll Bring
* Proven ability in business development, sales, or client engagement (ideally in technical/engineering sectors).
* Resilience and creativity turning challenges into opportunities.
* A strong sense of integrity and partnership, aligned with our values
* Hunger to learn, grow, and lead.
What We Offer
* Opportunity to shape the future of UK engineering consultancy.
* Close collaboration with a passionate, values-driven team.
* Competitive package with clear paths to growth and recognition.
