The Public Markets Marketing & Business Development Adviser:

We have a strong focus on listed companies and the provision of audit,tax and advisory services. We are looking for a BD & Marketing Adviser who can help us maximise and leverage a significant market opportunity.

We value our relationships both with our clients and with our colleagues in the UK and internationally. We are looking for a strong adviser who has the same ethos and can help us achieve our goals in this area.

The role is London-based based but occasionally there may be a need to travel to other offices across the UK.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

In this challenging and rewarding role you’ll also:

• Develop a deep understanding of our key clients and prospects, their industries, and market environments to identify innovative ideas to raise brand profile and create meaningful engagements.
• Work with the lead Public Markets Partner and Senior Business Development Manager to develop and deliver the go to market strategy and growth plans with a focus on return on investment.
• Develop your own internal network across MSC and all service lines so you understand how other parts of the business are going to market and can support this, at the same time as helping them understand the Public Markets strategy.
• Provide centralised support for strategic account management initiatives, including key client and targeting activities, while also reporting on progress and making recommendations to enhance client service.
• Help to identify gaps in the listed market where we are not currently engaged with companies, and collaborate on devising targeted approaches to establish relationships with these entities.
• Leverage your knowledge of clients and sectors to provide research and talking points for external pursuit meetings.
• Be proactive in bringing market trends to the business to help open doors to new work and qualify in new leads where opportunities are identified.
• Develop knowledge of the publicly listed market, including BDO’s service offerings and key propositions as well as the wider competitive landscape.
• Support key sector campaigns by identifying listed companies that align with the campaign objectives and ensure timely dissemination of relevant materials to optimise issues-based and solutions-led campaigns.
• Take ownership of our internal and external profile, encompassing management of the Public Markets pages on our website, social media platforms, coordination of internal and external events, and drafting newsletters.
• Help us understand and report on the return on investment of our activities.
• Champion the use of the CRM system and ensure high-quality data management.

You’ll be someone with:

• Sound marketing, business development and/or client development experience.
• Understanding of key account management principles and objectives.
• Strong project management, attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Flexibility to prioritise and reprioritise workload.
• Strong communication skills, the ability to influence and persuade key stakeholders and take initiative in driving processes.
• Positive, 'can do’ attitude, commitment to ongoing learning and adaptability.
• Commercial acumen and emotional intelligence, with the ability to flex style to the situation.
