This is a full-cycle outbound role. You'll build your own pipeline, run your own process, and close.

UCEA Capital Partners is a single-family office with roots going back to 1947, headquartered in Mayfair with offices in Lisbon, Zurich, Athens, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Across our energy infrastructure and family office platforms, we work quietly and carefully with founders, business owners and senior decision-makers who value discretion, expertise and long-term thinking.

What you will do

• Generate your own outbound pipeline through calls, email and LinkedIn no inbound queue and no marketing safety net

• Manage your pipeline end to end and keep accurate CRM records at every stage

• Work towards structured activity and revenue targets, with real ownership over how you hit them

• Build daily exposure to merchant banking, capital markets and international deal origination

Who tends to do well here

• A genuine track record of working to targets in outbound sales, fundraising, sponsorship acquisition, or event/partnership sales. None of these alone is a dealbreaker if it's missing, but if none of them are present at all, this probably isn't the right role

• Resilient comfortable with rejection as a normal part of the job, not an exception

• Self-directed some evidence of having generated an opportunity from nothing before, even informally

• Sharp written and verbal communication, and UK right to work (preferable)

• Additional fluency in a language relevant to our client base (Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Polish, Ukrainian, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Arabic or similar) is a genuine advantage, not a requirement

What you get

• Base salary £40,000 + uncapped commission (5% during probation, 10% post-probation)

• OTE of £100,000–£150,000 for strong performers

• Direct access to senior leadership and a genuine, performance-based path to Business Development Manager typically 2–3 months, based on closing results not tenure

• CPD training programme and structured career development plan
