Fractional Business Development & Client Relationships Partner – New York

Engagement: Independent Consultancy
Commitment: Approximately 10 hours per month
Company: Rosie's People Limited

About the Opportunity
Rosie's People is looking for an experienced and commercially driven Fractional Business Development & Client Relationships Partner based in New York to help grow our client portfolio across the United States and international markets.
This is a flexible fractional opportunity requiring approximately 10 hours per month, designed for an experienced professional who already understands the local business ecosystem and has established commercial relationships and networks they can credibly develop.
We are looking for someone who can open doors, close business and build strong, lasting client relationships.
This is not simply a lead-generation or appointment-setting role. You will be expected to identify and develop commercially viable opportunities, build relationships with senior decision-makers, convert opportunities into paying business and maintain strong relationships with the clients you bring into the organisation.
Although you will be based in New York, your commercial remit does not stop there. We welcome candidates with established relationships or proven business-development experience elsewhere in the United States or international markets.
If you can identify and secure good business in another market, we want to hear about it.
About Rosie's People

Rosie's People is a multi-award-winning international executive consultancy providing leadership, HR/People, recruitment and business operations solutions to organisations across multiple sectors and continents.
Our clients range from ambitious growth businesses to established organisations, and we are proud of our ability to work across sectors, geographies and different stages of organisational growth.
Our services include executive and specialist recruitment, HR/People consultancy, leadership and organisational development, training and business operations support.
We are particularly interested in developing relationships with ambitious, professionally run organisations that value high-quality external expertise and have the appetite to grow and compete internationally.
Within New York and wider US market, this may include growth organisations across technology, AI, fintech, SaaS and other innovative sectors, as well as established businesses with significant organisational, People, recruitment, leadership or operational requirements.
We work across sectors. What matters to us is the quality, ambition, conduct/professionalism and commercial fit of the client.
Before applying, we encourage you to research Rosie's People, our services, the calibre of organisations we have supported and our TICK values. Understanding who we are and how we operate will be important to succeeding in this opportunity.
Application Process & Mandatory Questions
Please read the full job description before submitting your application.
As part of your application, please answer all mandatory questions belowwithin your covering letter/notes or as part of your CV. You may include everything within one document if preferred.
We will not progress applications that do not answer all mandatory questions.
1. Where in the United States are you currently based, and are you able to provide independent consultancy services from your location?
2. This opportunity includes a guaranteed consultancy fee calculated by reference to the applicable local minimum wage rate for approximately 10 hours of services per month, plus a generous success-based commission.
Please state the applicable local minimum wage rate where you are based and confirm that you understand and are comfortable with this remuneration structure.
The financial upside of this opportunity is deliberately performance-led. Candidates seeking a higher guaranteed hourly consultancy rate should therefore consider whether this opportunity is suitable before applying.
3. What individual business development, sales or revenue targets have you personally been responsible for during the last three years?
Please tell us what the targets were and approximately what percentage of the target you achieved. If you regularly exceeded your targets, please tell us by approximately how much.

Please keep your answer concise and be specific about both the services and the level/type of buyer.
5. Tell us about one client or commercial relationship that you personally originated and subsequently developed into repeat business.
Please keep your answer concise.
6. Which sectors and senior decision-maker networks within New York can you credibly access today?
Please briefly explain the types of professional relationships you have developed rather than simply listing industries.
7. Beyond New York, in which US or international markets have you personally and successfully secured new business?
Please identify the markets and briefly describe the type of business you secured and your personal role in winning it.
8. This opportunity is offered on a self-employed independent consultancy basis with a UK company rather than as employment through a US employing entity. It initially requires approximately 10 hours per month. Are you comfortable working on this basis?
