Business Development Executive
Hanover Square, London | Full-Time | Office-Based
Base Salary: £25,000–£35,000
Commission: 10% on fees generated
OTE: £100k–£150k achievable for strong performers
About the Role
UCEA is seeking a driven and commercially minded Business Development Executive to support the continued growth of the firm. This is a front-office business development role focused on originating new client relationships. You will engage with founders, business owners, and senior decision-makers, introducing UCEA’s services and guiding prospects through the engagement process.
The role is well suited to individuals who enjoy working in a target-driven environment, take ownership of results, and are motivated by performance-based rewards.
Key Responsibilities
* Proactively identify and engage new business opportunities through outbound outreach and professional networking
* Present UCEA’s services clearly and confidently to senior decision-makers
* Manage conversations, address questions, and progress prospects through the sales pipeline
* Convert qualified opportunities into engaged clients and signed agreements
* Maintain accurate CRM records and pipeline reporting
* Work towards structured activity and revenue targets
* Represent the firm professionally in all external communications
What We're Looking For
* Previous experience in a sales or business development role
* Comfortable discussing fees and high-value professional services
* Strong communication skills, particularly over the phone
* Resilient, self-motivated, and results-focused
* Confident, professional, and commercially aware
This role will suit individuals who are motivated by responsibility and performance-based outcomes. It is less suited to those seeking highly structured or purely support-focused sales roles.
Desirable (but not essential):
* Exposure to financial services, corporate finance, or advisory environments
* Experience in outbound B2B sales or similar roles
What We Offer
* Competitive base salary with a clear and attractive commission structure
* Genuine earning potential linked directly to performance
* Exposure to merchant banking, capital markets, and deal origination
* Career progression opportunities for consistent high performers
* Direct access to senior leadership in a fast-growing firm
If you’re motivated by targets, enjoy building new client relationships, and want a role where performance is recognised and rewarded, we’d be pleased to hear from you.
