Revolutionise how your advisers think
Blackfinch Group is bringing the future to financial advisers in tax-advantaged products, asset management and employee benefits.
Our BDMs connect advisers with our award-winning ventures and asset managers through strong local relationships, and make complex concepts seem simple and effective.
We’re looking for an ambitious Senior / Executive Business Development Manager in the Scotland area who brings energy, ownership, and a genuine passion for building relationships.
This is a role for someone who enjoys opening new doors, growing existing partnerships, and delivering real commercial impact.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll take full ownership of your territory — driving growth by:
- Winning new adviser firms and establishing Blackfinch as a trusted partner
- Expanding relationships within existing firms — increasing engagement, product use, and value
- Protecting and strengthening partnerships through consistent, high-quality service
This is a role where activity matters, but impact matters more. Every conversation, meeting, and interaction should move relationships forward.
What makes this role different
- You’re not just selling — you’re building long-term partnerships
- You’ll represent a broad, high-quality product range across tax and asset management
- You’ll have the autonomy to run your territory like a business
- You’ll be part of a team that values collaboration, energy, and continuous improvement
- This role is as much about attitude and behaviours as it is about experience.
