Business Engagement Manager

We are recruiting a Business Engagement Manager to join our Love to Ride project team and to lead on business outreach, engagement and management of Warwickshire and Luton projects in the UK.

Love to Ride is the online platform that gets more people riding bikes.

Both a web platform and App – people can log trips, set goals, post photos and stories, receive localised and tailored information, win prizes, and take part in our rolling calendar of engaging challenges throughout the year known as Ride 365. By taking part we support individuals, communities and businesses, to cycle more often, more confidently and long-term for transportation.

With 15 years of experience in delivering successful cycling behaviour change projects right around the world, we have a solid reputation as a specialist social business creating positive change. As well as encouraging existing riders to ride more often and commute by bike, we also support people returning to or completely new to cycling. We help individuals overcome real and perceived barriers and advocate for local cycling organisations and partners in project areas. We then monitor, measure and report on the outcomes.

Check out this animation to learn more about how we achieve actual behaviour change.

We believe…

We believe that life is much better when we feel happy, healthy, energised and connected to the people and places around us. We believe riding a bike has so many benefits to us individually, to our communities and our world. We know how great it feels to ride and we want more people to experience this feeling too.

Our Mission

Is to create, maintain and deliver the very best online platform and behaviour change programmes in the world, that are proven to get more people riding bikes more often. The rest will follow.

The BEM role

The Business Engagement Manager role will work across the UK to promote and support our flagship year-round programme – Ride 365. This includes Cycle September, the centrepiece of our annual programme in the UK, as well as Winter Wheelers in December, Spring Campaign in March, and Bike Month in May. Each regional project is supported by a local, regional or transport authority client, with funding from central Government departments such as DfT, Public Health or other sources.

The Scope of the BEM role

The purpose of this role is to support the successful delivery of our Ride 365 programme, by encouraging business, communities and individuals to take part. An aim of this role is to enable \’new-riders\’ or \’non-riders\’ to participate and for this group to be around 20% of all participants. The focus will be on working with the business to encourage new or inexperienced riders to participate. A bonus
