About Inspira Advisory & Consulting Limited (Inspira ACL)

Inspira Advisory & Consulting Ltd. (www.inspira-bd.com) is a strategic research and management consulting firm delivering data-driven solutions in strategy, digital transformation, and technical advisory. We support a diverse portfolio of clients, including government ministries and directorates, bilateral donors, global corporations, industry associations, and INGOs facing next-generation growth and operational challenges.

With 100+ clients across the public, private, and development sectors, Inspira has built a strong reputation for providing evidence-based insights and innovative, practical solutions that drive sustainable impact.

We currently operate in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Uganda, and are now expanding our footprint to Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia — bringing our expertise in sustainable development, technical advisory, and business consulting to new markets.

Position Overview

Inspira is seeking an execution-focused Director of Global Business Development to lead its expansion into international markets, primarily focusing on positioning Inspira as a Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) partner of choice for private sector clients, product development teams, impact investors, research organizations, and ESG/sustainability units globally.

The incumbent will be responsible for establishing the business from the ground up — including office setup, registration, and all legal and compliance requirements — in close collaboration with Inspira HQ. The role will be based in Australia and will focus on securing international projects to be delivered through Inspira’s back-office operations in Bangladesh.

This is a multi-faceted role that blends strategic business development, client acquisition, service line expansion, and light operational leadership. This role is critical to the next phase of Inspira’s global expansion.
