Are you an experienced Business Development Manager within financial services with a strong understanding of investments and a real talent for building relationships?
I’m currently recruiting for an established organisation that is looking to strengthen its commercial team with an experienced BDM covering the North of the UK.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being out in the market, meeting people, developing relationships and creating new business opportunities.
You’ll have a good level of autonomy in the role, with the opportunity to build your network, manage your own territory and make a genuine impact on commercial growth.
The role
You’ll be responsible for developing new business and managing relationships across the financial services market.
The role will involve a mix of face-to-face meetings, telephone and video engagement, so you’ll need to be comfortable building relationships both remotely and in person.
You’ll be involved in:
Developing and converting new business opportunities
Building and maintaining strong relationships with professional clients and intermediary partners
Growing existing relationships and identifying new opportunities
Developing a strong understanding of your market and territory
Keeping up to date with market developments and competitor activity

Presenting propositions and solutions to senior stakeholders
Building relationships across a range of businesses within the wider financial services market
Working collaboratively with internal teams to support business growth
Negotiating and influencing effectively at senior level
Planning and managing your own diary, pipeline and priorities
Attending relevant industry events and meetings as required
Contributing to the wider commercial team through knowledge sharing and continuous improvement
Travel across the North will be an important part of the role, with some additional UK travel required from time to time.
What are we looking for?
This isn’t a generalist BDM position. You’ll need strong financial services experience, good investment knowledge and a proven track record of developing business through professional relationships.
You should have:
A proven track record in business development within financial services
Experience working with professional clients, intermediaries or distribution partners
Good technical knowledge of investments and wealth products
Experience developing and converting new business opportunities
A strong understanding of the financial services market
Excellent relationship management and influencing skills
Strong presentation and communication skills
Experience negotiating with senior stakeholders
Good commercial awareness
Strong planning, organisation and time management skills
The confidence and self-motivation to manage your own territory and workload
A willingness to travel regularly across your region
Ideally, you’ll be centrally based in the North or North West and comfortable travelling across the wider region.
Relevant knowledge of the UK regulatory environment would be advantageous.
Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys being out in front of people, knows how to build genuine relationships and is commercially driven without losing sight of delivering a great experience for clients.
