Business Development Manager

What you will be doing

Business Development and account penetration will be your focus. You will be a strategic partner to Financial Services MD and C-level executives, forging new relationships and providing solutions to our clients for emagine. You will identify and qualify opportunities across cold, new, and existing accounts — using your understanding of industry trends, client needs, and market themes to tailor your sales approach. You will take a self-sufficient approach to sales and business development — leveraging research, market trends, and platforms like HubSpot to identify opportunities and drive engagement. You will have full ownership of the sales cycle from prospecting to close — with the autonomy to drive deals forward and exceed your quota. Your aim: win new business, grow key accounts, and deliver long-term, value-driven relationships.

Experience required

• 5+ Years’ experience in consultancy sales, ideally within Financial Services/Banking, Insurance or Commodities.
• A demonstrable track record of winning new clients — and a clear view of how you’ve done it (e.g., campaigns, strategy, referrals, cold outreach).
• Experience building Business Development strategies that are either client-specific, industry-aligned, or trend-led — and the ability to explain your thinking.
• Self-sufficient in your approach — able to identify opportunities, justify your Business Development ideas, and take initiative without needing close direction.
• A creative and innovative thinker and solutions provider — you come with answers, not problems, and are comfortable thinking outside the box.
• Strong qualification skills — you know the red flags, green flags, and what to look out for throughout the sales lifecycle.
• Proven experience of cross-selling products or services.
• Proven analytical skills — comfortable with forecasting, budgeting, and interpreting sales data to guide decisions.
• Proven ability to build and nurture long-term relationships; you can give examples of growing accounts over time.
• Resilient, open to feedback and adaptable — you’ve seen the highs and lows of sales and have grown through both.
• Someone who embraces best practices, welcomes feedback, and is open to continuous learning.
• Intelligent, empathetic, and always curious about new markets, products, and perspectives.

What you will get in return

• Excellent salary, competitive commission structure and an exceptional benefits package.
• A clearly defined career path with mapped progression and continuous training.
• Management opportunities if of interest.
• To have your voice heard, influence and lead the future of the organisation.
• To work in an established brand with a startup mentality.
• Recognition programmes and sales incentives such as company trips away.
• Growth within a diverse and global environment; opportunities to open new territories such as the US or Asia.
