As a key member of the CISI Business Development team, you will look to expand on your expert knowledge and experience of wealth management and financial advice firms to ensure we deepen existing relationships with firms in the sector. You will bring industry connections and enjoy driving new business development within the profession, expanding our membership base and growing revenue streams from new and established clients for the CISI.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Client Relationship Management Develop existing key member firms to reinforce CISI’s offerings with the goal of becoming a trusted partner, deepening relationships and expanding membership within the firms. This will entail developing a network of contacts, including at a senior level, within organisations. Specifically, but not exclusively, you will focus on Wealth Managers and advisers, seeking to fully understand their challenges and requirements and help position CISI as the professional body of choice for the sector.
-
Lead Generation & Membership Growth Proactively identify and engage potential members and corporate partners within the financial sector through targeted outreach, networking and strategic campaigns. Develop and maintain a robust pipeline of prospects, converting leads into active members and qualifications sales. Collaborate with Marketing and Global Learning teams to design initiatives and products that attract new audiences and promote CISI’s value proposition. Using your experience and network, this will focus largely on the wealth and advice firms.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
