Dear All,
I am a Business Development person working at a fast-growing industrial startup. We have 100+ employees at the moment and my CEO would like to deliver strategy function to me. I am curious about how to name properly my new role. It would encompass the below responsibilities.
1. Expansion to new (international) markets (client-facing work, exhibitions).
2. Relations with clients, partners, and suppliers. (incl. strategic partnerships).
3. Conducting strategic initiatives (sustainability best practices, customer satisfaction policy), customer retention initiative).
4. Supply Chain (develop and control over brand new delivery scheme).
5. Company growth strategy and Business expansion plan creation; control on their implementation throughout the company.
6. Creation of the training program for personnel.
7. Product line revision (with the possibility to remove something).
There are no financial responsibilities, no M&A things, so, to my taste, it is not Corp Dev. But, there is clearly Strategy. Would it be correct to call my position Strategy and Business Development? Or simply Strategy and Development?
What about Business Development & (Strategic) Initiatives?
Many thanks in advance!
