Business Development Associate

About Us

We are a specialist recruitment firm working with leading banks, financial institutions and fintech firms, providing professionals in compliance and anti-money laundering (AML). Since 2009, we’ve partnered with more than 125 organizations and successfully placed over 1,000 professionals in key roles. We’re now seeking a driven and ambitious Business Development Associate to help us expand our reach and continue our growth.

The Role

As a Business Development Associate, you’ll be at the front line of our growth efforts. Your job is to open doors — making first contact with potential clients through phone calls, emails, and LinkedIn outreach. You’ll be the one generating opportunities, while our senior team then assists you to build and manage the deeper client relationships.

This is an excellent role for someone hungry to learn, motivated by results, and excited by the significant earning potential that comes with success in business development. Financial services experience is not required but any sales / business development experience would be preferred.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and research potential clients within the banking and financial services sector
• Reach out via cold calls, emails, and LinkedIn messages to create initial connections
• Qualify leads and secure introductory meetings for senior leadership
• Manage outreach activity consistently to build a strong pipeline
• Work closely with the two experienced partners (30+ years combined in the industry) who will guide and support you every step of the way

What We’re Looking For

• Strong communication skills – both written and verbal
• High energy, ambition, and a dogged work ethic
• Comfortable spending significant time on the phone and in outreach
• Resilient personality – able to handle rejection and keep pushing forward
• Coachable and receptive to direction (you’ll be learning directly from the senior partners)
• Self-motivated and organized in a fully remote environment
• Detail oriented
• Ability to work Eastern Standard Time (EST) hours

Why Join Us?

• Direct mentorship from two industry veterans with deep expertise in compliance staffing
• Clear financial upside – this is a results-driven role with extremely high earning potential
• Opportunity to break into the financial services recruitment space, a niche with strong demand and growth
• Remote flexibility while still working in a structured, professional environment
• Be part of a small, entrepreneurial team where your efforts make a real impact
• Opportunity to interact and network with senior professionals
• Potential to attend industry conferences in Las Vegas, New York, Miami, and more

Compensation

Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission structure. Your ambition and hustle will directly determine your earnings.
