Director of Business Development (Corporate Services)

The Opportunity We're looking for a rainmaker. Someone who doesn't just manage relationships but builds empires out of them. This is a role for a strategic operator who can walk into a boardroom, read the politics, understand the pressure points, and turn a prospect into a long-term partner. You'll sit at the intersection of leadership, strategy and hands-on execution. If you thrive on complexity, love the chase, and know how to close, keep reading. What You'll Own - Executive relationships that matter. Build trusted connections at C-suite and operational level, becoming the go-to expert on each prospect's structure, politics and strategic goals. - The full prospect journey. Be the primary point of contact, continuously widening your network of decision-makers while keeping every conversation aligned to what the client actually needs. - Market intelligence. Stay sharper than the competition — track trends, anticipate shifts, and feed insight back into the business to sharpen the product and the pitch. - Bespoke value propositions. Lead the charge on differentiated, prospect-specific strategies that make the competition look like an afterthought. - Cross-functional firepower. Rally senior leadership and internal teams to build proposals and presentations that win. - A clean pipeline. Keep every engagement, conversation and next step meticulously tracked through CRM. What You Bring ✔ 10+ years of proven success in business development within the corporate services space (Corporate Secretarial, Company Incorporation, Accounting, Tax, Compliance, Payroll etc.) ✔ A track record of closing high-value deals and driving strategic initiatives that move the needle ✔ Financial fluency — P&L management, budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling aren't buzzwords to you, they're second nature ✔ Gravitas — the ability to influence and engage stakeholders at every level, from analyst to CEO ✔ A gift for storytelling — you can turn complex solutions into compelling, persuasive narratives ✔ Comfort operating in fast-paced, data-driven environments with a relentless focus on commercial outcomes What's In It For You - Competitive, market-benchmarked compensation plus pension - Private health & dental cover, life assurance and additional wellbeing benefits - 25 days annual leave plus statutory public holidays - Generous family leave — maternity, paternity and beyond - Flexible & hybrid working — this role is built around real work-life balance, not lip service - Genuine investment in your growth through structured learning and development programmes - A seat at the table in a global business with serious scale, serving some of the biggest names in private equity and asset management worldwide Why This Role, Why Now This isn't a maintenance job. It's a mandate to build — new relationships, new strategies, new revenue. You'll have the backing of a global platform, deep sector expertise, and a leadership team that wants bold thinking, not box-ticking. If you're ready to lead from the front and leave a mark, we want to hear from you. This role is based on a real opportunity within a leading global Investor Services group.
