Position Overview

We are seeking a commercially driven Investment Sales & Business Development Manager to drive new investor acquisition and business growth within the investment sector.

Our client is looking for a strong sales hunter who can independently identify prospective investors, generate leads from scratch, build a sales pipeline, and close high-value investment opportunities.

This is a new leads acquisition role , not a traditional relationship management position focused primarily on servicing an existing client portfolio. The successful candidate must be proactive, resourceful, and comfortable sourcing prospects independently without relying on a provided leads database. The ideal candidate has a background in investment sales, wealth management, private banking, financial advisory, or a related financial services field, with experience engaging high-net-worth individuals, business owners, family offices, or institutional investors.

Key Responsibilities

- Identify and acquire new investors through outbound prospecting, networking, referrals, industry events, and other proactive business development activities.
- Generate leads independently and build a pipeline of qualified prospects from scratch, without relying solely on an existing client database or inbound leads.
- Identify and engage high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), business owners, family offices, and institutional investors.
- Present investment opportunities, communicate their value proposition, and address prospective investors' needs and objectives.
- Manage the full sales cycle, from prospecting and initial engagement to negotiations and deal closing.
- Originate new business opportunities, including private placements, co-investments, and other relevant investment opportunities.
- Develop referral networks and identify new channels for investor acquisition.
- Explore new market opportunities and strategies to expand the investor base.
- Work toward agreed sales and business development targets, including new investor acquisition and capital raised.
- Collaborate with internal investment and business teams to support deal execution and investor onboarding.

Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field is preferred.
- 3–5 years of relevant experience in investment sales, wealth management, private banking, financial advisory, asset management, or a related financial services field.
- Proven track record in new client acquisition, independent lead generation, and closing high-value sales or investment deals.
- Experience engaging HNWIs, UHNWIs, business owners, family offices, or institutional investors.
- Strong hunter mentality, with the ability to identify prospects, create opportunities, and develop a sales pipeline independently.
- Demonstrated ability to acquire new clients rather than primarily manage or service an existing portfolio.
- Resourceful and proactive in reaching high-value prospects, including individuals who may be difficult to access.
- Strong commercial drive, with motivation to achieve sales targets, generate revenue, and pursue financial and career growth.
- Excellent networking, negotiation, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
- Strong English communication skills.
- Mandarin and Cantonese proficiency are major advantages , particularly for engaging Chinese-speaking investors and expanding the investor network.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.
