FTSE 250-listed company with over a decade of sustained growth since our 2009 start-up days.

What sets us apart? Our people.

At Alpha, 50% of our business is owned by our homegrown partners—people who started in this exact role.

Because we own the business, we operate with the care, ambition, and accountability of true owners.

This mindset drives everything we do, from the way we serve our clients to the way we support each other.

We’re driven by ambition, grit, and relentless curiosity.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for ambitious individuals who are ready to transform their careers over the next few years. If you thrive in high-performance environments and are motivated by big rewards, this role is for you.

Following the success of our UK offices, Alpha Group is growing its existing presence in the Netherlands. This is your opportunity to join a fast-growing division with the full backing of a market-leading FTSE 250-listed company.

Here’s what makes this role unique:

• You’ll work directly with the founding partners of the Netherlands office, gaining hands‑on mentorship and guidance.
• Your commissions? Transparent, uncapped, residual, and earned on every euro your portfolio generates.
• The goal? Build your success story, with a clear path to earning equity in this venture.

Effort and potential matter more to us than experience—if you’re committed, we’ll provide the tools to succeed.

What You’ll Be Doing:

As a Business Development Associate, you’ll combine business development and account management to build and manage your own portfolio of high‑value clients.

Here’s what success looks like in this role:

Pipeline Building:

Research, qualify, and engage with C‑suite leaders across diverse industries.

Consultative Selling:

Uncover client pain points and provide tailored financial solutions that add real value.

Solution Development:

Collaborate with strategists and analysts to develop personalized strategies for your clients.

Client Retention & Growth:

Develop trusted relationships with your clients, ensuring long‑term success and growing your portfolio.

Mentorship:

Learn directly from Senior Partners and Managing Directors who know exactly what it takes to succeed.

This role is like building your own business within a business—complete with the accountability, rewards, and growth potential you’d expect.

What We Offer:

Earning Potential:

Base salary with an average OTE of Y1 €80k, OTE of Y2 €160k, OTE of Y3 €250k.

Training That Works:

We don’t just teach you—we make you the best. Weekly development sessions and hands‑on mentorship with Managing Directors and Senior Partners will set you up for Partner‑level success.

High‑Performance Culture:

We reward resilience and ownership with strong incentives, uncapped commission, and skill development opportunities.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re not looking for resumes full of buzzwords—we’re looking for people who are ready to bet on themselves.

The ideal candidate:

1–3 years of experience in sales or business development.

Grit to thrive in competitive environments.

Emotional intelligence to recognize patterns and build trust.

Confident communication skills with a clear approach.

A growth mindset, turning rejection into motivation and challenges into wins.

Don’t tick every box? No problem.

If you’ve got the fire to succeed, we want to hear your story.

Why Join Alpha Group:

We thrive on ambition, grit, and relentless curiosity.

It’s for those who want to win and thrive in an environment that rewards effort with opportunity.

We invest in people who are ready to grow, providing the tools, training, and opportunities to build a successful career.
