• Lead opportunities end‑to‑end, owning your client pipeline with full autonomy and accountability for recommendations to senior management.
• Drive growth in the UK market, particularly across retail investment platforms, wealth managers, custodians and asset owners.
• Manage long and complex sales cycles, engaging multiple stakeholders across client organisations (commercial, operational, technical and senior leadership).
• Build trusted, long‑term relationships with clients, prospects and industry stakeholders.
• Actively explore new market opportunities within your portfolio and contribute to the evolution of Euroclear’s funds offering.
• Collaborate extensively across Euroclear, working with relationship managers, product, operations and technology teams to deliver solutions.
• Represent Euroclear externally, including participation in industry forums and targeted market discussions.
• Contribute to thought leadership, validating market trends through dialogue with clients and external partners.
• Adopt a structured, curious and forward‑looking approach, anticipating market and technology evolution.
• Support and coach junior colleagues, where appropriate.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who brings a blend of commercial drive, relationship skills and credibility in complex financial markets.

Essential experience and skills

• Experience in business development or client‑facing roles within the financial services industry.
• Proven ability to sell complex solutions with long decision cycles in a B2B environment.
• Knowledge of funds, wealth management, investment platforms or related ecosystems.
• Proven discipline in applying structured sales methodologies and consistently using customer relationship management (CRM) tools to manage pipeline, forecasting and client interactions.
• Strong stakeholder‑management skills, with the ability to adapt style across senior executives and operational teams.
• A structured, analytical mindset combined with sound commercial judgement.
• Clear communication skills and confidence in influencing internal and external decision‑makers.
• Based in London, with the ability and willingness to travel within the UK (and occasionally to Europe).
• Experience working with UK retail investment platforms and/or wealth managers.
• Exposure to international or cross‑border business development.
• An interest in market innovation and the future of funds distribution.

How success is measured

• Relationship building, both with clients and internal stakeholders.

Euroclear does not operate commission‑based sales. Instead, we offer a competitive fixed reward framework aligned to long‑term value creation.
