Sales Executive
Our client, an expanding company operating in the premium alternative asset space, is looking for a driven, relationship-focused Business Development Executive to join their sales team and play a key role in continued growth.
This is an opportunity to step into a business development role with genuine warm-lead advantage. You'll have access to an existing database of over 5,000 customers alongside the scope to build and own your personal book of clients from the ground up. You'll be the primary point of contact for clients navigating ownership of a high-value physical asset, whether they're purchasing for personal enjoyment or as a speculative investment, guiding them with clarity, honesty, and a genuinely consultative approach.
You'll manage the full sales cycle: from prospecting and initial outreach through to pitching and closing.
This role suits someone who thrives on autonomy and is motivated by uncapped earning potential, but who also values doing right by the client. Our client's mission is to bring transparency and trust to their market, and their sales approach reflects that.
No prior asset management industry experience is required — full training will be provided — but a strong foundation in high-value sales, relationship management, or client-facing business development is essential.
