Job description

Infopro Digital is a B2B group specialising in information and technology. With a presence in 20 countries, the group has 4,000 employees of 79 nationalities. Through our market-leading brands, we serve five professional communities – risk and insurance, automotive aftermarket, construction, retail, and industrials – enabling our clients to make informed business decisions and create new opportunities.

Infopro Digital Services Limited is seeking a talented and ambitious Business Development Manager to join our dynamic team. As a leader in providing essential data, insights, and technology solutions, Infopro Digital is dedicated to empowering businesses across various sectors. This is a fantastic opportunity to leverage your sales expertise within a fast-paced and innovative environment.

The best of both worlds. That is what a position with Infopro Digital offers you. We are a global company with strong financial backing, while at the same time giving you the power to truly make a difference.

Within our global portfolio, the Risk Global division is a 300-person organisation with offices in Hong Kong, London, Nashville, and New York. Risk Global brings together world-renowned brands including Central Banking, Chartis Research, Risk.net and Waters Technology. Through our proprietary information platforms, we create unique market insight and technical content for senior risk, technology and trading professionals at banks, asset managers and insurers. In addition, we deliver high-value marketing services and research solutions to service providers seeking access to our engaged communities.

Our people are passionate about delivering the best possible outcomes for the customers and markets we serve. We are an impact-driven and entrepreneurial business that provides support while trusting great people to do great things. Thanks to our international reach and diverse workforce, we celebrate different perspectives and are committed to an inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves. We also recognise the importance of work-life balance and offer flexible solutions to support this.

Overview of the role

We are looking for a true hunter: a driven and disciplined sales professional with a relentless focus on winning new business. This role is all about generating fresh revenue by opening doors, building a strong pipeline, and converting prospects into long-term clients. Success demands exceptional work ethic, resilience in a competitive environment, and the ability to engage C-level decision-makers with compelling value propositions across our multi-brand portfolio.

This quota-carrying role will focus on selling enterprise-level access to our leading financial intelligence platforms—Risk.Net, FX Markets, Waters Technology and our CRO Network—to new business prospects globally.

Key Responsibilities

• Regional Growth Strategy – Shape and execute a business development plan aligned with global objectives, tailored to the dynamics of the financial markets.
• Revenue Generation – Manage the full sales cycle, from prospecting and pitching to negotiation and closing, focussing entirely on new logo acquisition.
• Enterprise Engagement – Build trusted relationships with C-suite executives, clearly articulating the value of our product suite in terms of ROI, market insights, and competitive edge.
• Market Development – Spot and seize high-value opportunities across both established and emerging markets to expand brand presence and drive penetration.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration – Work closely with Account Management, Marketing, Content, and Operations teams to ensure smooth client onboarding and long-term account growth.
• Industry Representation – Represent the company at leading financial events and conferences, enhancing visibility and cultivating strategic relationships.
• Reporting & Insights – Maintain accurate CRM records, provide clear revenue forecasts, and deliver actionable market feedback to senior leadership.

• Proven Hunter Experience – Minimum 3–5 years of proactive business development, sales, or lead generation experience with a strong track record of consistently exceeding targets.
• B2B Expertise – Demonstrated success in selling to businesses, ideally in financial services, SaaS, data, or related sectors.
• Results-Oriented – A history of overachieving sales goals, with a relentless drive to generate new revenue and win new clients.
• Product & Market Savvy – Ability to quickly understand complex product offerings and translate them into compelling value propositions for prospective clients.
• Financial Acumen – Familiarity with financial concepts and principles as they relate to clients’ needs is highly desirable.
• Location & Commitment – Must live within commutable distance of our London office and be available for at least 3 days in the office per week.
• Educational Background – Bachelor’s degree preferred, but proven sales results and hunter mentality take priority.

Key Skills & Competencies

• Commercial Acumen – Strong ability to identify opportunities, understand client challenges, and position solutions that deliver tangible business value.
• Prospecting Excellence – Skilled at building pipelines from scratch through research, cold outreach, networking, and leveraging market insights.
• Exceptional Communication – Clear, persuasive, and confident when engaging C-suite executives and senior stakeholders across cultures, with the persistence to influence decision-making at the highest level.
• Negotiation & Influence – Skilled in structuring complex, multi-stakeholder deals, crafting compelling value propositions, and navigating long sales cycles with patience and tenacity.
• Work Ethic & Resilience – Highly driven, self-motivated, and resilient under pressure, with an unwavering commitment to achieving results in a fast-paced, performance-focused environment.
• Quick Learner – Ability to rapidly absorb complex information and translate it into compelling sales narratives, quickly grasping the unique value propositions of multiple brands within our portfolio.
• Organised Execution – Strong ability to prioritise, manage multiple opportunities simultaneously, and maintain momentum without compromising on detail or quality.
• Technology-Enabled Selling – Proficient with Salesforce (or similar CRM tools), leveraging data and insights to optimise the sales process, track progress, and drive accountability.

• This role is hybrid based in London with 3 office days and 2 remote.
