The BD & Marketing team at Ambition is excited to bring you a brand new event to help you prepare to step up into your first Marketing Manager, Business Development Manager or Bids Manager role within a Professional Services firm.

We have a number of exceptional Senior BD and Marketing professionals lined up to speak at the event, who will be sharing their stories, advice and top tips on what has worked for them and what you should be doing now to help position yourself for that next promotion to Management.

Topics we will be discussing include:

  • What's the difference between an Executive and a Manager? 
  • How to engage with Partners / Senior Stakeholders
  • Understanding your firm's strategic vision


You will also have the opportunity to pick their brains and ask them any questions you may have.

    ​Matthew and the team at Ambition are highly experienced recruitment professionals with an excellent network of senior BD contacts.  We worked with them to appoint a new BD Director.  I was impressed by their understanding of the role and the market.  Matthew was extremely responsive, producing a very high quality shortlist and an excellent service to both us and the candidates.  He was invested in finding the right candidate for the role and the firm and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and look forward to continuing to work with the team.

    ​We’ve only recently started working with Ambition and the experience to date is very positive. Claire, one of their Principal consultants, managed the recruitment for our Tax Manager vacancy really efficiently and found us a great new addition to our team. We have found them both professional and personable.
