About the role
This role sits beside the Head of Origination & Coverage. Introductions and referrals come in constantly; your job is to make sure none of them go cold.
It is a business development seat with research attached, not a research seat with occasional outreach.
What you will do
- Follow up on introductions, referrals and leads from the Head of Origination & Coverage, moving them from first contact to a qualified stage in the CRM.
- Identify and engage prospective clients, founders, sponsors and intermediaries to build a steady flow of qualified leads.
- Prepare briefing materials and background for senior meetings, and manage scheduling and follow-up tracking.
- Monitor deals, news and industry triggers, flagging relevant opportunities.
- Build target lists, sector maps and company or sponsor profiles that sharpen outreach.
- Keep pipeline and relationship data accurate and current in the CRM.
What we are looking for
- One to three years in business development, sales support or client-facing research.
- Comfortable initiating outreach and engaging prospects directly, not just researching them.
- Strong analytical and writing skills with sharp attention to detail.
- Eagerness to learn and progress professional exams.
What we offer
- Competitive base salary
- Pension
- HMO coverage
