About the Firm

Our client is an international corporate and professional services firm supporting businesses with their operations and expansion across multiple international markets.

The firm provides a broad range of corporate, accounting, tax, compliance and advisory services, working with international businesses as well as law firms, accounting firms and other professional intermediaries.

The organisation combines an established international platform with an entrepreneurial and commercially driven approach and is continuing to invest in the growth of its US business.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Business Development Director to help further develop the firm's presence in the US.

This is a senior commercial position focused on originating new business, developing intermediary relationships and supporting companies with international expansion.

The role provides considerable autonomy and is suited to someone who understands how to build business through a combination of their own network, intermediary relationships and targeted market development.

Key Responsibilities

• Originate and develop new client opportunities across the US market.

• Build and maintain relationships with corporate clients, law firms, accounting firms and other professional intermediaries.

• Develop opportunities with businesses requiring international corporate and professional services.

• Build and manage a strong pipeline of new business opportunities.

• Identify opportunities within your existing network while continuing to develop new relationships in the market.

• Represent the firm at relevant conferences, industry events and within key professional networks.

• Work closely with colleagues internationally to develop and convert cross-border opportunities.

• Take ownership of commercial activity and revenue generation within the market.

• Develop long-term relationships with clients and referral partners.

Your Background

We are particularly interested in professionals with:

• A proven track record in business development, ideally within corporate services, professional services, consulting, financial services or a related environment.

• Experience originating and converting new business rather than solely managing existing client relationships.

• An established network across corporate clients and/or professional intermediaries.

• Experience working with international or cross-border clients.

• Strong commercial judgement and the ability to develop senior-level relationships.

• The ability to operate independently and take ownership of a market.

• International experience and exposure to multiple markets would be particularly relevant.

• A legal, accounting, tax or wider professional services background can be advantageous.

Why Consider the Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an international organisation with an ambitious growth strategy and take a meaningful role in the continued development of its US business.

The position offers significant autonomy, international exposure and direct ownership of business development, with the opportunity to build senior client and intermediary relationships across multiple markets.
