Business Development Manager: Financial Services 

Location: City of London 

Level: Entry Level (0–1 years' experience) 

Type: Full-Time  

 --- 

The payments and digital asset industry is evolving fast. Businesses are waking up to what modern financial services can do for them. And Clearing — one of the few companies operating at the intersection of traditional payments and digital assets - is growing its sales team to meet that moment.  

We are looking for someone at the start of their career who is serious about building it in financial services.    

About Clearing 

Clearing is a regulated financial services business. We give ambitious companies — from fast-growing scale-ups to global institutional clients — one account to move money across borders, currencies, and networks. Fiat and digital assets, under one roof. 

We hold FCA, MAS, and FINTRAC licences. We have grown significantly over the past few years and are well-positioned for the next stage — backed by experienced leadership, a strong product range, and a team that takes what it builds seriously.  

A newly refurbished City of London office is coming soon.

The role

As a Business Development Manager, you will be at the front of the commercial engine — identifying, prospecting, and engaging the businesses that stand to gain most from what Clearing offers. 

Outreach is structured, targeted, and backed by marketing. Candidates will be expected to understand their prospect base, engage with purpose, and represent Clearing professionally across all channels. 

In your first year, success looks like a full pipeline, consistent meeting generation, and a developing understanding of Clearing's client base — putting you in a strong position to grow through Clearing's personal development programme.

What you'll be doing  

• Identifying and generating new business opportunities within the financial services sector 
• Conducting targeted outreach via phone, email, and LinkedIn, as part of a structured, marketing-supported approach 
• Researching potential clients, markets, and sectors to support outreach strategies
• Scheduling meetings and calls for senior members of the business development team
• Maintaining accurate records of client interactions and pipeline activity in the CRM
• Working closely with marketing and internal teams to support campaigns and business development initiatives 
• Continuously building product and market knowledge within financial services

What we're looking for

• 0–1 years’ of professional experience — sales, recruitment, finance, or client-facing roles preferred, but not essential 
• A strong work ethic and a proactive, self-starting mindset 
• Resilience and persistence in a target-driven environment 
• Strong verbal and written communication skills — confident engaging with senior professionals
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail 
• A genuine interest in financial markets and financial services 

Why Clearing

• Early-stage opportunity. The sales team is growing. Those who join at this stage have a direct hand in shaping how the function develops — and a clear path to progress within it. 
• Uncapped earning potential. Competitive base salary with an uncapped commission structure that rewards performance. 
• Structured environment. Marketing provides campaigns, content, and pipeline intelligence. Outreach is informed and purposeful.  
• A market in motion. The businesses you will speak to are actively looking to modernise their financial infrastructure. The product is relevant, regulated, and credible. 
• Strong foundations. FCA-regulated, institutionally trusted, and differentiated in a market that is only becoming more competitive.

Benefits      

• 25 days holiday, increasing by 1 day per year of service 
• Extra day off for your birthday 
• Generous bonus scheme 
• Candidate referral scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
