You’ll help develop our relationship-led approach within our professional services network. Around half of your time will be dedicated to supporting our Business Recovery & Insolvency department, where referral relationships are vital. You’ll focus on developing and nurturing relationships with new and existing referral partners to support our growing Business Recovery & Insolvency team. This could be with professional contacts such as accountants, solicitors, lenders, turnaround specialists, and other referral partners who can introduce insolvency and restructuring opportunities.
The remainder of the role will support the Business Development Director, with varied business development activity throughout the South West, helping partners and directors across the firm generate new business opportunities.
The role is full time and can be based in either our Taunton or Bristol offices.
What you’ll be doing
- Build and maintain strong relationships with referral partners to generate a consistent flow of introductions
- Work closely with the Business Recovery & Insolvency team to build relationships with referral sources
- Work with the Business Development Director to identify target sectors and referral sources
- Provide regular updates on progress against business development targets and referral partner engagement
- Ensure business development activity is aligned with our wider marketing and profile-raising initiatives
- Track and report on business development activity, pipeline, and conversion rates using our CRM system
- Attend networking events and industry functions to identify new opportunities and promote Albert Goodman's services
