Up Learn is seeking an experienced and strategic Business Development Manager to spearhead our GCSE initiatives and drive new business growth during a pivotal phase of the company's expansion. This role is crucial for enhancing our senior sales capabilities, safeguarding execution quality, and leveraging the vast GCSE potential while maintaining our existing revenue streams.
