We are searching for a Business Support Executive to join our small but driven team. The Business Support team plays a key role in the charity working with employers to help them improve their whistleblowing frameworks and cultures and create safer work environments for whistleblowers.

The role is varied and will draw upon your negotiation, persuasion, organisation and creative skills.

Crucially, we are looking for self-starters who use their initiative to contribute great ideas and succeed with their sales.
You will help us generate income for the charity by identifying and securing new business and maintaining strong relationships with existing clients, exploring further business opportunities with them.
The role will be selling Protect’s training, consultancy and membership services to employers who want to strive towards positive speak-up cultures.
