Business Development Executive - 27/04/2026

Overview

Fortrade Ltd is a FCA regulated company based in London, seeking a Business Development Executive for the Financial Markets. This is an entry-level, full-time office-based, non-advisory role suitable for graduates.

Salary: £26,500 starting, increasing to £27,500 after probation, with performance-based commission in line with responsible sales practices and regulatory standards.

Are you ready to build a career from day one? We are looking for ambitious and driven individuals who are ready to develop within a fast-paced, regulated financial services environment. A background in finance is not a requirement for this role, but candidates familiar with financial markets, products, or terminology may find it easier to settle into the role.

This is a client-facing, non-advisory role where you will communicate with clients daily, build professional relationships, and provide general information about our financial products and platform. All client communications must be conducted in a fair, clear, and non-misleading manner, in accordance with FCA regulatory standards.

• Client engagement: Maintain proactive and professional communication with clients via telephone and email, establishing rapport and understanding their informational needs.
• Product information: Provide clear, fair, and balanced general information about our financial instruments, platform features, and educational materials.
• Relationship management: Build and maintain professional client relationships by delivering a consistent standard of service and responding to enquiries promptly.
• Compliance and conduct: Adhere to all regulatory requirements and internal compliance standards throughout every client interaction.
• Continuous development: Stay current with industry developments, product changes, and regulatory updates through structured in-house training.

• Previous experience in a client-facing, customer service, or financial services role is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• A professional and composed telephone manner.
• Resilience, self-motivation, and the ability to work consistently under pressure.
• A conscientious approach to performance targets within a structured, compliant framework.
• Proficiency in standard computer applications and CRM systems.
• A demonstrated commitment to ethical conduct, client care, and regulatory compliance.

This is a performance-based role within a structured, target-driven environment. You will encounter challenges including client objections and demanding performance expectations. Success in this role requires consistency, professionalism, and the ability to maintain composure under pressure.

This role is not suited to everyone, and that is intentional. We seek individuals who understand the demands of a regulated, performance-based environment and are motivated by structured professional growth and long-term career development.

• Candidates successful at the first stage interview will attend a one-week, fully paid training programme covering the role, systems, client communication standards, and regulatory requirements.
• The training period also serves as a mutual assessment of suitability before a formal offer of employment is made.

• One week of fully paid in-house training.
• Performance-based commission structure.
• Weekly and monthly incentive vouchers for top performers.
• Annual salary review and incremental increases.
• Fast-track progression opportunities.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Employee wellbeing programme.
• Free on-site parking.
