Markets Activation Senior Manager
Leading Advisory Firm
Location: London
Working Model: Hybrid
My client is a leading professional services firm with an ambitious growth agenda and a strong reputation for investing in its people, clients, and commercial capability. As part of a significant investment across its sales and business development function, the firm is looking to appoint a Markets Activation Senior Manager to help drive growth across key service lines, sectors, and strategic programs.
This is an opportunity for an experienced business development professional who wants to operate closer to commercial decision-making. Rather than focusing on events, communications, or marketing delivery, the role is centered on helping senior stakeholders identify opportunities, strengthen client relationships, increase pipeline activity, and deliver growth priorities. Working closely with partners and leadership teams, you will influence strategy, challenge thinking, create focus, and ensure business development initiatives translate into measurable outcomes.
The position offers a high level of visibility across the business, exposure to senior decision-makers, and the chance to shape how commercial growth initiatives are delivered within a market-leading professional services environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and deliver business development strategies aligned to growth priorities and target client programs
- Partner with senior stakeholders to establish clear commercial objectives, priorities, and success measures
- Drive the execution of growth initiatives that support pipeline development, client acquisition, and account growth
- Identify market opportunities, target audiences, and buyer priorities to strengthen go-to-market activity
- Build engagement and accountability across partner groups, ensuring agreed actions maintain momentum
- Coordinate activity across sales, marketing, and subject matter experts to support growth objectives
- Use insight, performance data, and market intelligence to inform decision making and drive continuous improvement
- Support the development of scalable business development programs that can be adopted across multiple stakeholder groups
- Lead, coach, and develop junior team members where appropriate
