ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a new business role. Your job is to win employers who will hire Generation graduates and invest in our work, and to keep winning them. Most of your time will go on finding, pitching and closing new partners; the rest on making sure those partners hire and come back.

Employers hire our graduates free of charge. We generate income through social value packages, and you will sell these alongside our hiring partnerships:

- Social value packages (how we generate income). Employers invest in a package that funds training for people from disadvantaged backgrounds and gives them measurable, reportable social impact, supporting their ESG, CSR and procurement commitments.
- Hiring partnerships. Employers recruit graduates from our bootcamps into open roles, at no cost to them. As well as working with direct employers, this can involve working with delivery partners, and channel partners.
- Employer-embedded cohorts. A single employer partners with us on a whole cohort, shapes it around their roles,



and commits to hiring at least 50% of the graduates. These are bigger, more complex deals with longer sales cycles, several decision-makers and real commitment from the employer. You will help us build this model as you sell it.

You will work nationally across England, with a particular focus on building our employer base in Liverpool, a new region for us.

We will be honest: this role involves a lot of outreach and a lot of "no". It suits someone who is energised by targets, picks up the phone without being asked, and believes in what Generation does enough to make other people believe in it too.

What success looks like

In your first year, success means a healthy, self-generated pipeline and signed partners who actually hire. Your bonus is tied to these measures.

Measure of success

- Current employer partners signed
- Employer-embedded cohort deals signed (employer commits to hire 50% of cohort)
- Graduates placed into jobs through your partners
- Income from social value packages
- Repeat commitment from existing partners
- Secured new employers in Liverpool

By the end of your first 90 days, we would expect you to have built a pipeline of qualified employer conversations, held multiple first meetings, and have employers lined up to hired from planned cohorts running in Liverpool and nationally.

ABOUT GENERATION





Talent is everywhere; opportunity is not. Generation UK is a charity that supports people facing barriers to employment into life-changing careers they could not otherwise reach.

We run free, full-time, profession-specific bootcamps lasting one to three months in growing sectors such as tech, healthcare and the green economy. Some we deliver directly; others we co-deliver with partner organisations. Learners get wraparound one-to-one support throughout, and we keep supporting them in their job search for six months after they graduate. Many have been unemployed for a long time, are disabled, or come from low-income backgrounds.

Since launching in 2019, we have supported more than 4,000 people in the UK. We are part of a global Generation network that has supported over 100,000 people.

None of this works without employers. Every graduate needs an employer ready to give them a chance, and every bootcamp needs partners who invest in our work. Finding those employers starts with you.

By joining Generation UK&I;, you will become part of an organisation committed to social impact and determined to play its part in changing the system in this context. The work is fast-paced, exciting, and innovative.
