Sales & Business Development Executive
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Sales & Business Development Executive is an entry-level commercial role responsible for supporting the growth of Rocketfin Consulting Ltd through lead generation, client outreach, and pipeline management. Working closely with senior leadership, you will play a key role in identifying new business opportunities, nurturing client relationships, and contributing to the firm's commercial strategy.
A key differentiator for this role is the ability to engage credibly with professionals in financial services — particularly within capital markets — and to confidently demonstrate and present the Rocketfin platform to prospective clients. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a relationship-driven environment where trust, domain knowledge, and professional presence matter.
This role offers significant scope for development and progression for the right candidate.
