Strategic Client Engagement Manager

We are hiring a Strategic Client Engagement Manager for a UK-based workforce solutions company (staffing, recruitment and outsourced workforce services for very large organisations).

In short: you'll research big companies, reach out to their senior leaders, and book meetings for our Business Development team. You will not be closing deals or making hundreds of cold calls. This role is about smart, personal outreach and building relationships over time. You need 5+ years of B2B outbound sales experience.

Responsibilities:

• Work from a set list of about 50 large companies and around 300 senior people in them (Finance, Procurement and HR leaders).
• Research each company before you reach out: what they do, what's changing, and what they might need.
• Send 10 to 15 personalised messages a day by phone, email and LinkedIn, and follow up consistently. This is quality outreach, not high-volume cold calling.
• Write your own messages for each person (AI tools are welcome). No copy-paste templates.
• Book meetings for the Business Development team and hand each one over with clear notes. You open the door; they close the deal.
• Stay in touch with prospects over many months by sharing content, inviting them to events and checking in.
• Log all your activity in HubSpot and send simple weekly activity reports.
• Reply to and pass on inbound sales enquiries, and share company posts on LinkedIn.
• Help build the team's outreach templates and playbook, and share what's working.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years in B2B outbound sales or business development (e.g. BDR, SDR, BDM, Lead Generation or Account Development).
• Experience booking meetings with senior decision-makers (Directors, VPs, C-suite) at large companies.
• Experience with long sales cycles, where deals take months, and with account-based outreach to a target list.
• Excellent written English. You write clear, persuasive messages.
• Confident calling, emailing and messaging senior people you've never met.
• Hands-on with HubSpot or Salesforce, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
• Organised and self-driven. You can manage your own pipeline.

Strongly Preferred:

• Experience selling staffing, recruitment, RPO, MSP, outsourcing/BPO, EOR or HR services to businesses.
• Experience selling to HR or Procurement buyers.
• Experience working with UK or European clients.
• Knowledge of energy, utilities or transport.
• Experience building outreach playbooks, email sequences or CRM templates.
• Comfortable using AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) for research and writing.

This role is not a fit if your experience is mainly in:

• High-volume call-centre or telesales roles (100+ scripted calls a day).
• Pure closers or account managers who don't prospect.
• Recruiters who place candidates but have never sold to clients.
• B2C or retail sales.

Requirements:

• Updated Resume/CV.
• Available to work UK business hours (Philippine night shift), full time.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Reliable internet connection and personal computer.
• UPS/battery backup to ensure continuity during power interruptions.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary.
• WFH set-up.
• Career advancement opportunities.
• HMO.
