We are looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to grow our index business with asset managers, ETF providers, structured product issuers and other financial-market participants. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of Index Licensing, Sales and Index Product Development, and combine strong client relationships, deep index know-how and hands-on execution.

- Establish new client relationships through direct outreach, industry events and targeted business development campaigns.
- Partner with clients' product development and financial engineering teams to design bespoke strategies, thematic baskets, and quantitative investment strategies.
- Work closely with Index Product Development, Sales and Marketing to move opportunities from idea generation to commercial execution.
- Develop high-quality pitch materials independently, including clear value propositions, market context, index analytics, data-driven comparisons and product-use-case analysis.
What you bring
- 5 years of experience in relationship management, business development or sales, product development / management linked to indices, ETF/index-linked products, structuring, or a closely related financial-market role.
- Proven ability to acquire new clients and originate new businesses, not only manage existing relationships.
