Alpine Macro, a top-tier macroeconomic research firm serving institutional investors globally, is hiring an Associate Business Development Manager to lead new client acquisition efforts across the EMEA asset management market. This London-based role is part of a wider strategic expansion following Alpine’s acquisition by Oxford Economics.
You’ll focus on identifying, pitching, and closing new business with EMEA-based asset managers—including mutual funds, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, and pension schemes. You will represent Alpine’s highly respected macro research to senior decision-makers ranging from strategists to CIOs across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Key Responsibilities

- Qualify leads and uncover prospect pain points and research needs.
- Present and demo Alpine’s macroeconomic research in Zoom and in-person meetings across EMEA financial hubs (e.g., London, Frankfurt, Geneva, Dubai).
- Drive the full sales cycle from first contact to signed contract.
- Manage and update a robust pipeline in Salesforce to meet monthly and quarterly goals.
Regional Expertise & Positioning
- Develop deep familiarity with how EMEA-based institutional investors use macroeconomic research to drive allocation decisions.
- Tailor pitches to align with region-specific investment strategies and regulatory contexts (e.g., SFDR, MiFID II).
- Attend EMEA-focused conferences, webinars, and in-person events to cultivate relationships and opportunities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
