n

nWe are looking for a highly polished, commercially minded and exceptionally proactive individual to work closely with a senior leader in our Enterprise business. You will act as an extension of their client-facing presence helping them identify opportunities, build relationships, prepare for important conversations, and ensure exceptional follow-through.

n

nThe role sits at the intersection of Business Development, Executive Client Engagement and Strategic Support .

n

nYou will get unusually close to senior-level conversations with business leaders across some of the world's largest organizations. You’ll learn quickly about executive education, leadership development, organizational transformation and enterprise learning while developing robust skills in business development and executive relationship management.

nThe ideal person is someone who is energized by senior stakeholders, communicates exceptionally well, is highly presentable, thinks ahead, and loves making things happen.

n

nWhat you will do:

n1. Act as a high-quality Business Development partner

nYou will support targeted outbound engagement with prospective Enterprise clients.

n

nThis will include:

n

n
- Researching companies and senior stakeholders.
n
- Drafting highly personalized outreach.
n
- Engaging prospects through email, LinkedIn and other appropriate channels.
n
- Following up intelligently and persistently.
n
- Tracking conversations and next steps.
n
- Helping move promising relationships towards deeper conversations with the senior leader and broader Emeritus team.
n

nThis is not a high-volume SDR/call-centre role . The emphasis is on quality, relevance, executive communication and relationship building.

n

n2. Be part of senior client conversations

nYou may join client meetings virtually or in person, depending on the situation.

n

nYou will:

n

n
- Understand the client's business context before the meeting.
n
- Join selected conversations to observe, support and capture important information.
n
- Listen for business priorities, challenges, stakeholders and potential opportunities.
n
- Capture decisions, commitments and next steps.
n
- Ensure follow-up happens quickly and professionally.
n

n

nOver time, you should develop a strong understanding of how senior executives think about talent, leadership,



transformation and capability building.

n

n3. Turn conversations into action:

nSenior leaders have a lot of conversations. Your job is to make sure the important things that come out of those conversations don't get lost.

nSometimes this may mean taking structured notes during a meeting.

nOther times, the leader may simply send you a voice note or a stream-of-consciousness "notes dump" immediately afterwards.

nYou will turn that into:

n

n
- Key client insights.
n
- Opportunities.
n
- Follow-up actions.
n
- Owners and deadlines.
n
- Introductions that need to happen.
n
- Information that needs to be shared.
n
- The next best step in the relationship.
n

nYou will become the person who ensures "we should follow up on that" actually turns into a follow-up.

n

n4. Help create a high-impact client agenda

nWhen the senior leader is travelling to a city, you will help turn the trip into a productive series of client conversations.

nYou will:

n

n
- Research relevant companies, executives and business priorities.
n
- Identify potential prospects and relationship opportunities.
n
- Develop targeted outreach to senior decision-makers.
n
- Coordinate introductions and meeting requests.
n
- Build and manage a thoughtful meeting agenda around the leader’s travel.
n
- Coordinating meeting logistics, including identifying and booking appropriate venues for client lunches and dinners.
n
- Ensure the right context is available before every meeting.
n

nThe objective is simple: help create more high-quality conversations with the right people.

n

n5. Build your own understanding of Executive Education

nYou don't need to be an expert in executive education on day one.

nYou will learn.

nYou will progressively develop an understanding of:

n

n
- Executive education and leadership development.
n
- Corporate learning and capability building.
n
- Leadership and talent challenges.
n
- AI and digital transformation.
n
- How large organizations think about workforce capability.
n
- How senior executives evaluate learning and development investments.
n
- The Emeritus portfolio and how we solve enterprise client problems.
n

n

nThe expectation is that you become commercially intelligent enough to understand a client's context and ask smart questions , even when you are not the subject-matter expert.

n

nWhat success looks like:

nSix months into the role, you should be someone who:

n

n
- Knows the senior leader's priorities almost instinctively.
n
- Can prepare them intelligently for an important client conversation.
n
- Can identify relevant executives and companies worth approaching.
n
- Can write a compelling, personalized outreach message.
n
- Can confidently communicate with senior stakeholders.
n
- Can sit in a client meeting and understand what really matters.
n
- Can turn an informal conversation into a clear set of actions.
n
- Never lets an important follow-up disappear.
n
- Can anticipate what the leader or client will need next.
n
- Has developed a strong understanding of Enterprise Executive Education.
n

n

nUltimately,



your job is to create leverage for a senior commercial leader.

nYou should help them spend more time doing what only they can do - building relationships, having strategic conversations and winning enterprise opportunities.

n

nWho are we looking for?

nWe are looking for someone who is:

nHighly client-ready

nYou are comfortable interacting with senior executives and naturally project confidence, warmth and professionalism.

nYou don't need to be the most experienced person in the room. You do need to be comfortable being in the room .

nAn exceptional communicator

nYou write clearly and professionally, speak confidently, listen carefully and know how to adapt your communication style to different stakeholders.

nYou understand that communicating with a C-suite executive is different from communicating with a peer.

nCommercially curious

nYou are interested in businesses, people, industries and what makes organizations tick.

nWhen you hear that a company is undergoing a transformation, entering a new market or appointing a new CEO, you naturally want to understand what that might mean for its people and leadership.

nExtremely proactive

nYou don't wait to be told every next step. You see something that needs to happen and make it happen.

nHighly organized. Without being an administrator

nYou can manage multiple relationships, conversations, follow-ups and priorities without dropping the ball.

nYou enjoy creating structure out of ambiguity.

nPolished and presentable

nYou will interact with senior clients and represent the senior leader and Emeritus in important situations.

nYou should have excellent professional judgment, executive presence and attention to detail.

nFast-learning and intellectually curious

nYou may not know much about executive education today. What matters is that you are curious, absorb information quickly, ask great questions and can rapidly become conversant in a new domain.

nComfortable with ambiguity

nNo two days will look exactly the same. One day you might be researching CEOs in New York. The next you might join a virtual client meeting. The next you might turn a 10-minute voice note into a follow-up plan and organize a client dinner.

nYou should enjoy that variety.

nExperience

nWe are less interested in a specific job title and more interested in the quality of the person .

nYou may come from backgrounds such as:

n

n
- Business Development / SDR / BDR.
n
- Management consulting or professional services.
n
- Client success or account management.
n
- Recruitment / executive search.
n
- Hospitality or luxury client services.
n
- Chief of Staff / strategy support.
n
- High-end customer or relationship management.
n
- A strong graduate program with demonstrated commercial or client-facing experience.
n

nThe opportunity in one sentence

nBecome the commercial right hand to a senior Enterprise leader helping create new executive relationships, making client interactions exceptional, and learning first-hand how some of the world's largest organizations think about leadership, talent and transformation.
