This is a highly visible business development role where you will shape and deliver a targeted sales strategy, engage senior decision-makers, and secure long-term value through meaningful membership growth.  You will have free reign to focus purely on sales; there is no line management.

You will work collaboratively across policy, events, learning, membership, and communications teams to deliver a compelling and credible proposition to senior stakeholders.

• Build and manage a high-quality pipeline, ensuring consistent conversion and follow-up
• Engage and influence senior stakeholders including CEOs and board-level decision-makers
• Work collaboratively with internal experts to shape compelling membership propositions
• Use sector insight, data and networks to identify and unlock new opportunities
• Lead negotiations and ensure commercial proposals are both competitive and sustainable
• Strengthen onboarding and contribute to long-term member engagement and retention

What we are looking for

• Significant experience securing new business or delivering growth in financial services
• A strong network across wealth management, investment services and financial advice
• Proven ability to build and convert a pipeline through relationship-led, consultative selling
• Credibility and confidence engaging senior executives and decision-makers
• Commercial acumen with a focus on long-term value as well as income generation
• Strong communication, negotiation and presentation skills
• A collaborative approach, with the ability to work across multiple teams and stakeholders
• Data-driven mindset with experience using CRM systems and performance metrics
• High levels of emotional intelligence, curiosity and resilience

Why join
 
This is an opportunity to join a purpose-led organisation committed to improving financial wellbeing across the UK. You will play a key role in shaping its future growth, influence and sector impact, working alongside knowledgeable and passionate colleagues.
 
Closing date:  13th Aug
