About this role

Be the first voice that introduces potential clients to FE Investments — and the driving force that turns a cold call into a real conversation and a booked meeting. This is a role for someone who enjoys the energy of outbound prospecting and wants to see the direct impact of their work on a growing pipeline.

As a Business Development Representative, you'll own the early stages of the sales journey, generating leads and scheduling meetings that feed directly into the new business engine. You'll conduct outbound calls, deliver tailored pitches, and handle queries and objections with confidence to convert leads into qualified opportunities.

This role offers the chance to sharpen your sales technique through regular training and collaborate closely with experienced Business Development Managers. You'll also get out from behind the desk to support adviser events, regional roadshows, and client lunches.

FE fundinfo is a leading financial data provider connecting the investment industry across the UK, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. You'll join a close-knit sales team that celebrates wins together, shares knowledge openly, and invests in your development through ongoing coaching and training.
