• Working closely with our Premier team to ensure a first-class experience.
• Delivering strong commercial results in a strategically important new channel.

About You

What we’re looking for :

• Proven BD or relationship management experience.
• Confidence presenting to senior stakeholders.
• Commercial, credible, and great at building trust.
• Experience in finance, automotive, wealth management or professional services is a strong advantage.
• A self-starter motivated by results and partnership building.

Skills & Experience Required Essential :

• Demonstrable success in BD or introducer management.
• Experience selling into professional services or dealing with HNW clients.
