Business Development Representative

Job description

Business Development Representative (BDR)

Are you an experienced BDR with a track record of prospecting into hedge funds, asset managers, institutional investors, or broader financial services organisations?

Do you want to sell to some of the world's most sophisticated investors, and build your career at one of the most exciting businesses in alternative data?

We're partnered exclusively with a high-growth, venture-backed data business, helping hedge funds and asset managers identify opportunities, anticipate inflection points, and beat consensus through proprietary data and analytics.

Built by former buy-side professionals, the platform is used by leading institutional investors globally to gain a deeper understanding of company performance, market activity, and emerging trends before they become obvious to the broader market.

Following continued growth, the business is looking to hire an experienced Business Development Representative to join its London-based commercial team.

Their clients include some of the world's leading hedge funds, asset managers, and investment firms, who rely on their platform to make better investment decisions and uncover opportunities before the broader market catches on.

Following significant growth and increasing demand, they're now looking to hire Business Development Representatives to join their London-based commercial team.

The Opportunity:

This is far more than a traditional BDR role.

You'll be joining a business at a pivotal stage of growth, working directly alongside experienced business development and sales leaders and gaining exposure to some of the most sophisticated investors in the world.

You'll learn how hedge funds and asset managers consume data, research, and investment intelligence, and generate alpha, while developing the commercial skills needed to build a successful career in financial technology and data.

For the right individual, this represents an opportunity to join early, make a genuine impact, and grow alongside the business.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Identifying and engaging prospective hedge funds, asset managers, and institutional investment firms.
• Building relationships with portfolio managers, analysts, researchers, and investment professionals.
• Executing targeted outbound campaigns across phone, email, LinkedIn, and other channels.
• Generating qualified opportunities and meetings for the commercial team.
• Working closely with senior leadership to refine messaging, targeting, and go-to-market strategy.
• Developing deep expertise across financial markets, alternative data, and institutional investing.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience in a BDR, SDR, sales development, commercial role or background in financial services.
• Experience prospecting and selling into institutional investors, financial markets participants, or broader financial services organisations is highly desirable.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
• A genuine interest in financial markets, investing, technology, or data.
• Highly motivated, resilient, ambitious, and commercially driven.

Why Join?

• Join one of the fastest-growing businesses in alternative data.
• Sell a genuinely differentiated product to some of the world's leading investors.
• Gain exposure to hedge funds, asset managers, and institutional investment firms globally.
• Learn from experienced commercial leaders in a high-performance environment.
• Clear progression opportunities and runway for growth as the business continues to scale.
• Competitive base salary and uncapped commission structure.
• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact and accelerate your career.

Opportunities like this don't come around often.

This is the type of company where getting in early could genuinely be career-defining.
