Sales Manager - DFM and Wealth Management

Any existing relationships with current DFM's and wealth managers would be advantageous as it will create velocity in the time to market. A sound understanding of the FCA regulatory environment and key requirements of regulated businesses, without needing to be a subject matter expert, is also desired.

The focus is new business acquisition, as well as having the ability to discover new opportunities, leads and account manage those relationships.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic team in a new and exciting area of business growth, reporting directly to the heads of business unit each of whom has 25 years' experience in their roles. The role will involve continuous on-the-job professional development and would be ideal for candidates with a strong desire to learn and grow their skills and directly participate in bonus related pay for winning new accounts.

The role would suit a sales executive, potentially from a regulatory consulting, audit, or legal services sales background or a commercially minded and personable individual from a compliance and regulatory background, looking to move into a sales focused role. It could also suit someone from a wealth management or asset management sales background with a solid appreciation of FCA regulatory content and a willingness to focus heavily on a regulatory compliance consulting sales role - the team already has strong senior asset management incumbent team members and this role's focus is on complimentary regulatory market coverage not distribution sales. The role will not suit people who do not want to grow or step outside of their comfort zone.
