About Cognacity

Cognacity sits at the intersection of mental health and human performance. Founded in 2008, we help individuals, teams, and organisations understand the psychology behind performance, wellbeing, resilience, and success under pressure.

Working with leaders, high-performing teams, elite athletes, and organisations operating in demanding environments, we combine clinical expertise with applied psychology to deliver evidence-based solutions that create meaningful impact.

From mental health support and psychological assessment to coaching, consultancy, workshops, and performance programmes, Cognacity helps people perform at their best while sustaining long-term wellbeing.

We are entering an exciting phase of growth, expanding our reach across professional services and elite sport. This is an opportunity to join a specialist organisation with a strong reputation, ambitious plans, and a genuinely interesting proposition at the forefront of psychology, performance, and human potential.

The Role

We are looking for a proactive, commercially minded, and creative Business Development & Marketing Manager to support Cognacity’s continued growth.

Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, this is a varied role combining business development, client engagement, and marketing.

You will support the generation and progression of new opportunities, strengthen relationships with prospective and existing clients, and help increase Cognacity’s profile across our target markets.

This is a hands-on role within a growing organisation, where flexibility and collaboration are key.

We are looking for someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative, and is comfortable balancing commercial activity with creative thinking and practical delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Support business development activity, including prospect research, CRM management, pipeline tracking, and client engagement
• Support client outreach, proposals, presentations, and follow-up activity
• Build strong relationships with prospective and existing clients
• Manage and develop Cognacity’s social media presence, particularly LinkedIn
• Create engaging content and support website updates, campaigns, events, and thought leadership activity
• Work with internal experts to translate Cognacity’s expertise into compelling external content
• Bring ideas, energy, and organisation to support the wider growth agenda

About You

You will be someone who is:

• Experienced in business development, marketing, sales, or a combined commercial role
• A confident communicator with strong relationship-building skills
• Comfortable engaging with clients and representing an organisation externally
• Experienced in using CRM systems and supporting sales activity
• Creative, organised, and proactive
• Flexible and adaptable, with the ability to thrive in a growing SME environment

Healthcare experience is not essential. We are looking for someone with strong commercial and marketing foundations who is curious about psychology, performance, and the work we do.

What We Offer

• £35,000–£40,000 salary, depending on experience
• Opportunity to join a performance-related bonus scheme following successful completion of probation
• Hybrid working with flexibility and regular client-facing activity
