About this task

This management consulting firm for retailers (201–500 employees) is looking for a manager Business Development Manager for an ongoing part-time engagement of 3–7 h a week. Personal outreach that books first meetings.

Workload peaks and dips, so a few fixed hours a week fit better than a full-time seat. It is a consulting firm, so client deadlines set the pace and handover notes are expected.
