Business Development Associate
A growing and highly respected investment management business is seeking a Business Development Associate to join its Sales & Marketing team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious sales professional looking to build a long-term career within financial services and investment management.
Working closely with an experienced Field Business Development Manager, you will play a key role in developing relationships with financial advisers, wealth managers and other intermediary clients across a designated region. The position offers significant exposure to client-facing sales activity, business development and relationship management within a supportive and collaborative environment.
A wealth of financial services experience is not a prerequisite in applying for the role but a desire to develop skills and knowledge within a demanding work environment is critical.
