Business Development Representative

Role Overview

This opening is for an experienced Business Development Representative to join a growing commercial team in London. The business partners with hedge funds, asset managers, institutional investors, and other financial services organisations, helping them uncover opportunities and make more informed investment decisions using proprietary data and analytics.

Built by former buy-side professionals, the platform is used by leading institutional investors around the world to understand company performance, market movements, and emerging trends earlier than the broader market. The company has been growing quickly and is now expanding its London-based sales function.

This is a more strategic BDR role than usual. You will work closely with senior commercial leaders, build exposure to sophisticated investors, and develop a strong understanding of how hedge funds and asset managers use data, research, and intelligence to generate alpha. It is a strong opportunity for someone who wants early responsibility and the chance to grow with a high-growth, venture-backed business in alternative data.

What You Will Do

• Research and connect with prospective hedge funds, asset managers, and institutional investment firms.
• Develop relationships with portfolio managers, analysts, researchers, and other investment professionals.
• Run targeted outbound outreach through phone, email, LinkedIn, and similar channels.
• Book qualified meetings and create opportunities for the wider commercial team.
• Collaborate with senior leaders to improve messaging, audience targeting, and go-to-market approach.
• Build strong knowledge of financial markets, alternative data, and institutional investing.

What They Are Looking For

• Previous experience in a BDR, SDR, sales development, commercial, or financial services role.
• Strong preference for candidates who have sold to or prospecting into institutional investors, financial market participants, or broader financial services firms.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.
• Confidence when speaking with senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
• Genuine curiosity about financial markets, investing, technology, or data.
• A driven, resilient, ambitious, and commercially minded approach.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work with one of the fastest-growing businesses in alternative data.
• Represent a differentiated solution for some of the world’s leading investors.
• Gain experience across hedge funds, asset managers, and institutional investment firms globally.
• Learn from experienced commercial leaders in a high-performance setting.
• Access clear progression paths and room to grow as the company scales.
• Receive a competitive base salary plus uncapped commission.
• Have a chance to make a visible impact and advance your career quickly.
