Business Development Associate

An established Australian funds-management business is looking to hire a Business Development Associate to support its distribution team across wholesale and professional investor channels.

This is a high-exposure role working closely with senior distribution leaders, supporting capital-raising activity across a diversified suite of active investment strategies. The platform has a strong domestic footprint, a recognised brand in the market, and a long track record of working with advisers, platforms and institutional allocators.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting senior BDMs with wholesale and professional investor relationships

• Preparing client materials, presentations, reporting and follow-ups

• Assisting with adviser engagement, meeting preparation and CRM management

• Coordinating roadshows, events and investor communications

• Developing a strong understanding of the investment products and client base

• Acting as a key internal link between investments, marketing and distribution

What they’re looking for

• 1–4 years’ experience in funds management, asset management or financial services

• Background in client services, sales support, distribution or investment support

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Commercial mindset with interest in markets and investing

• Highly organised, detail-oriented and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

• Ambition to progress into a client-facing BDM or broader distribution role

Why this role

• Exposure to senior decision-makers and leading investment professionals

• Clear development pathway into a full BDM or investor relations role

• Well-regarded platform with real scale and credibility

• Hands-on role rather than admin-heavy sales support

• Strong culture, collaborative team and long-term career runway

If you want a genuine seat at the table in distribution, this is a solid platform to build from.
