A leading London-based alternative credit hedge fund is hiring for an experienced business development candidate.

• To build out a pipeline of suitable prospective investors with the capacity to invest in alternatives credit spaces;
• To take full ownership of the exciting business strategy;
• To attend regular meetings with the key potential investors (in some cases alongside the PM);
• To manage relationships with both existing and potential investors, updating them on the firm's activities and performance;
• Work with the wider firm to ensure marketing and sales materials are of the highest quality.

Ideal candidate

• To have vast experience raising funds across technical hedge fund strategies;
• To have deep relationships with the Superannuation funds, pension funds, consultants, and smaller allocators;
• Extensive experience working with credit-focused products;
• High-level written and verbal communication skills;
