Strategic Growth Leader – Climate Change

ICF is a growing, $1.5 billion USD strategic advisory and digital services provider (NASDAQ: ICFI), but we are not your typical consultants. Founded in 1969, ICF is a purpose-driven company with a strong culture and underlying values that prize collaboration, open communication, diversity and inclusion, opportunity for growth, equality, and mutual respect. Smart, compassionate, innovative, and committed, we combine unmatched expertise with cutting-edge engagement capabilities to help our global clients crack their most complex challenges, navigate change, and shape the future. Working at ICF means applying a passion for meaningful work with intellectual rigor to solve the leading issues of our day; we are in the business of Making Big Things Possible. Guided by our deeply-held values and enduring commitment to corporate and global citizenship, we share a passion for building a more prosperous and resilient world for all.

ICF is looking for dynamic, strategic, and action-oriented business development leader to join ICF’s Europe & Asia Group. This position reports to the Vice President of Business Development.

The ideal candidate will be a proven full life-cycle business development professional with a track record of positioning, pursuing, and winning large, cross-functional, multi-disciplinary contracts related to climate change, and primarily for public sector organisations, including the European Commission.

The candidate will have at least 15+ years of experience working in climate change with a specific focus on selling consulting services to public sector clients (European Commission, UK Government) and commercial customers.

This individual must exhibit exceptional leadership qualities, be well networked with clients, and be highly collaborative. The candidate must excel at the upstream activities of business development, sitting ahead of capture and client offer development. This candidate should have existing relationships globally and especially in Europe and Asia.

We want you to bring your excellent industry and customer contacts and knowledge to open doors, facilitate partnering, and to help craft compelling strategies that drive revenue growth. They should also be able to command a room, lead with credibility, and be able to use analytical, negotiation, and interpersonal and diplomatic skills that lead to productive business relationships.

You will partner with marketing and business/P&L leadership to develop and integrate a business development and marketing approach that meet business needs across the E&A Group, build strategic insights to help identify and capture scaled proposition growth opportunities, and help drive strategy development and execution.

The preferred location of the role will be from our Brussels office in Belgium, though we are willing to consider someone who is based in the UK and willing to travel to the EU on a regular basis.
