Job description

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.

To contact, please email rohma.kashif@ucea.pt or shraddha.wakchaure@ucea.pt.
