The role 

We are looking for a strategic and highly driven, corporate development professional to join our growing team, to focus on new business initiatives, enterprise planning, innovative product development, fund creation, and capital raising. This role is central to supporting the Group’s sustainable growth and long-term strategic goals.

In partnership with the Chief Investment Officer, Head of Capital Transactions & Direct Capital, and Head of Research, you will be involved in identifying and analysing new opportunities, structuring investment products and funds, building strong client relationships, and supporting capital raising activities. This is a significant opportunity to help shape the future of the Group within a collaborative, high-performing team environment.

What you will be doing 

• Identifying and evaluating growth opportunities including JVs, new products, and capital partnerships aligned with Group strategy.
• Building and strengthening relationships with institutional investors and strategic partners to deliver innovative, value-maximising investment solutions.
• Developing and assessing financial models, analysis and deal structures to support M&A, capital raising, and strategic initiatives.
• Participating in client meetings, presentations, and negotiations, and creating compelling pitch materials to support investor engagement and capital raising efforts.
• Collaborating cross-functionally with legal, risk, and finance teams to optimise new product and fund structures ensuring they are compliant and effectively executed.
• Staying ahead of market and regulatory trends to inform strategic decisions and enhance client and stakeholder outcomes.
