Fund Services | 6-figure salary plus substantial earnings potential | UK - fully remote
I'm working with a fast-growing, private equity–backed fund services business to appoint an experienced business developer to lead growth across the UK market.
The firm operates at the heart of the investment management ecosystem, providing specialist governance and related services to asset managers facing increasing regulatory and operational complexity.
This is a genuine “build and own” role - a chance to really make your mark.
The role
You will be the senior commercial lead for the UK, responsible for originating and converting new business opportunities across the investment management and broader fund services community.
Your focus will be on:
- Opening doors and creating commercial opportunities with asset managers and fund initiators
- Building senior, trust-based relationships with key intermediaries (legal, advisory, administration, depositary and other service providers)
- Navigating complex, multi-stakeholder, long-cycle sales processes
- Converting pipeline into long-term, high-value client relationships
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work closely with specialist colleagues in Europe and other locations to shape and present tailored solutions, while operating with significant autonomy in the UK market.
About you
I am open-minded about your exact background, provided you bring a strong network and a clear track record of commercial success. You may currently work in:
- Fund services, fund administration, depositary or asset servicing
- Asset or wealth management, alternatives, or investment consulting
- Professional services, legal, accounting or advisory focused on investment management clients
What matters most is that you can demonstrate:
- A proven record of winning business in or into the investment management / fund services ecosystem
- An established, active network across asset managers, fund initiators and key influencers (corporate law firms, Big Four, fund administrators, depositaries, consultants and related players)
- Commercial credibility with senior stakeholders and decision-makers
- Success in consultative, relationship-led sales environments with long sales cycles and multiple stakeholders

What's on offer
A high-growth, PE-backed environment with clear strategic ambition
Real ownership of the UK market rather than inheriting a mature portfolio
Direct access to senior leadership and genuine influence on commercial strategy
A package designed to attract and reward top performers, with substantial earnings potential aligned to impact
This will appeal to a high-performing business developer who wants broader scope, real autonomy, and a more direct link between their effort, market impact and personal rewards.
This is a stand-alone, home-based role but you must currently be based in UK in a location with easy access to all the major financial centres.
