About Lawsons Wealth

Lawsons Wealth is a modern advisory business working exclusively with high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and specialising in alternative investments. Our offering spans private equity, private credit, rare whisky, litigation funding, structured notes, and other specialist asset classes. We’re expanding our Central London team and looking for entrepreneurial individuals who want to build a solid foundation for a long-term career in wealth management.

The Role

This is a high-performance sales role designed to fast-track you into the world of private wealth. You’ll learn how to engage sophisticated investors, understand the landscape of alternative finance, and develop the commercial skills that underpin successful client relationships. As a BDM, you’ll be responsible for identifying, engaging, and qualifying new prospects, generating interest in our services, and booking meetings for our senior consultants. You’ll work in a driven, high-energy team and a culture that rewards ambition, learning, and results.

Key Responsibilities

1. Source and qualify HNW prospects interested in alternative and structured investments.
2. Generate leads via outbound calls, emails, and digital channels.
3. Pitch Lawsons’ value proposition confidently and clearly.
4. Book and manage meetings for senior consultants.
5. Track pipeline and performance via CRM tools.
6. Hit and exceed weekly KPIs and monthly revenue targets.

What We’re Looking For

• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong commercial awareness.
• Ambition to establish a long-term career in private wealth and investment.
• Willingness to learn the industry and develop advanced sales skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Confidence, resilience, and a strong drive to succeed.
• Background in sales, recruitment, property, or financial services is helpful but not essential.

What’s on Offer

• £30,000 annual consultancy contract (fixed fee).
• Uncapped commission structure.
• Year 1 OTE: £55k | Year 2 OTE: £80k.
• Promotion track to Consultant within 18 to 24 months (OTE £130k–£255k+).
• Structured training and mentoring from senior professionals.
• Support towards CISI Level 4 (or equivalent qualifications).
• Regular team socials and a ‘High Flyers’ trip for top performers.
• Bonuses for target hitters and monthly incentives.
• Work alongside ambitious, like-minded individuals in a collaborative environment.
• Access to an extensive platform of regulated and alternative investments.
• Central London office with a strong performance culture.

Career Progression

This role offers a clear pathway into regulated advisory. High performers will be promoted into a Consultant role where you’ll manage your own book of clients and access significantly higher earning potential. We support every step with mentoring, tech, marketing, and continuous development.

This is not a typical BDM role.

If you're hungry to learn, eager to earn, and want to build a serious career in private wealth, we want to hear from you.
