Division: Client Business Strategy - CBS
Euroclear is expanding its Alternatives Funds business in the UK and Nordics, one of our most strategic and fast‑growing segments. We are looking for a Business Development Manager based in our London office to help accelerate growth across these key regions.
This is a senior individual‑contributor role with full ownership of complex opportunities. Working across both fund managers (GPs) and distribution networks, you will leverage warm leads and existing Euroclear relationships to drive long‑term, consultative sales across sophisticated alternative investment environments, supported by a strong brand and internal network.
The role sits within a geographically distributed and collaborative business development team, working closely with colleagues across the UK, the Nordics, and continental Europe.
Key Responsibilities
As Business Development Manager, you will:
- Identify, analyse and develop complex business opportunities within Alternatives Funds Distribution, in line with Euroclear’s growth strategy.
- Lead opportunities end‑to‑end, owning your client pipeline with full autonomy and accountability for recommendations to senior management.
- Drive growth across the UK and Nordic markets, targeting both fund managers (GPs) looking to optimise distribution and distributors (wealth managers, private banks, platforms, and custodians) seeking access to alternatives.
- Manage long and complex sales cycles, engaging multiple stakeholders across client organisations (commercial, operational, technical and senior leadership).
- Build trusted, long‑term relationships with clients, prospects and key industry stakeholders in the alternative investments ecosystem.
- Actively explore new market opportunities within your portfolio and contribute to the evolution of Euroclear’s alternatives infrastructure and offering.
- Collaborate extensively across Euroclear, working with relationship managers, product, operations and technology teams to deliver integrated solutions.
- Represent Euroclear externally, including participation in specialized alternative investment forums and targeted market discussions.
- Adopt a structured, curious and forward‑looking approach, anticipating market and technology evolution.
- Support and coach junior colleagues, where appropriate.
