•   Working with the Sales Enablement team to create and update all collateral related to bids, presentations and client facing material to ensure it is fresh, client centric and keeps with our go to market strategy
•   Being a central point of client contact for significant opportunities and projects that require enhanced oversight and project management, leading with opportunities at all points through the sales and onboarding lifecycle 
•   Developing thought leadership content and outbound activity, including even hosting, working with the Marketing team as required to support improvement in brand awareness and inbound leads with future issuers and advisers
•   Working closely with the implementation and Relationship Management team to ensure a smooth handover process from Business Development to Relationship Management

What we’re looking for:
•   The drive and desire to succeed whilst keeping several plates spinning and sometimes creating something from nothing
•   The motivation and hunger to go out and hunt for prospects, turning them into sales to enhance the Link Group portfolio
•   Demonstrable experience of winning business in competitive scenarios via RFP’s and proactive outbound approaches
•   A pro-active, self-motivated, resilient and can-do attitude with the ability to influence and persuade
•   Enhanced knowledge of share plans and experience of working within the employee share plans space would be advantageous, but you will need a willingness to learn and enhance your knowledge if you don’t have it currently
•   Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with excellent interpersonal skills
•   Strong negotiation and networking skills with the ability to build and maintain relationships with a variety of stakeholders, clients and customers
•   Strong attention to detail, quick to learn and great organisational skills
•   The drive and desire to succeed in order to reach company and personal targets
