• Work closely with the Founder and analytics team to align messaging, delivery, and proposition

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10 years of BD or client acquisition experience in consulting, analytics, or marketing services
• Experience selling into asset management or financial services a major plus
• Strong understanding of how data, analytics, and marketing create commercial value
• Proven success building or structuring a BD function from scratch
• Confident communicator with credibility at senior stakeholder level
• Hands-on, autonomous, and commercially minded with a growth-focused mindset

Why This Role

• Blank canvas – Build the BD strategy from the ground up
• High impact – Your work will directly influence revenue and growth direction
• Rewarding structure – Strong commission model, profit share, and flexibility to shape your package
• Collaborative environment – Work closely with the founder and senior technical leads in a small, dynamic team

If you’re a commercially driven BD professional who thrives in entrepreneurial settings and wants to play a defining role in scaling a respected analytics consultancy, this is the opportunity to make your mark.
