Lead the Growth of a New Public Sector Service Line

Are you a commercially driven leader with a track record of building revenue, developing markets and creating long-term customer relationships within the public sector?

We are seeking an ambitious Managing Director to lead and grow a newly established service line within a successful, well-established business. This is a unique opportunity to combine the backing, reputation and infrastructure of a mature organisation with the entrepreneurial challenge of building a high-growth business area from the ground up.

Reporting directly to the Board, you will be responsible for defining and executing the commercial strategy, driving business development activity, and establishing the service line as a trusted partner across local government, central government, healthcare and wider public sector organisations.

Managing Director - The Opportunity:

This is not a traditional operational leadership role. We are looking for a commercially focused Managing Director who thrives on identifying opportunities, winning new business and building strategic partnerships.

You will have the autonomy to shape the direction of the service line, develop its market proposition and create sustainable, profitable growth whilst delivering exceptional value to public sector clients.

Managing Director - Key Responsibilities:

- Develop and deliver a clear growth strategy for the public sector service line

- Identify and secure new business opportunities across government and public sector organisations

- Build and maintain senior-level relationships with commissioners, procurement teams and key stakeholders

- Lead bid, framework and tender activity, ensuring a strong conversion of opportunities into revenue

- Create and execute sales and marketing strategies that drive market presence and brand recognition

- Build, inspire and lead a high-performing commercial and operational team

- Manage P&L performance, ensuring profitability and sustainable growth

- Monitor market trends, policy changes and procurement developments to inform strategic direction

- Work closely with the Board to shape investment plans and future expansion opportunities

Managing Director - You:

- Significant experience in a senior leadership, Managing Director or Commercial Director role

- A strong track record of generating revenue growth within public sector markets

- Deep understanding of public sector procurement, frameworks and commissioning environments

- Experience building and scaling new service offerings or business divisions

- Strong strategic thinking combined with a hands-on, delivery-focused approach

- Outstanding stakeholder management and influencing skills

- Proven P&L ownership and commercial accountability

- The ability to identify market opportunities and convert them into sustainable business growth

What We Offer:

- Opportunity to lead and shape a significant new growth area

- The stability and support of an established, reputable business

- Genuine autonomy and Board-level influence

- Competitive executive salary

- Performance-related bonus and long-term incentive opportunity

- Comprehensive benefits package

- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-potential service line and build something significant within an organisation that is already successful, respected and ambitious for growth. If you are a commercially astute leader with a passion for winning business and creating lasting impact within the public sector, we would love to hear from you.
