About the Role
This role sits within Preqin, part of BlackRock's Aladdin Client Business. Together, we are transforming how private markets data and technology power investment decisions globally. Preqin plays a critical role in expanding BlackRock's private markets capabilities, complementing the Aladdin platform and helping clients view, analyze, and act across their entire portfolio. We are ambitious, collaborative, and deeply client focused - and we are just getting started! Our mission is to create a better financial future for our clients. We are a diverse group who like to analyse, reinvent, and enhance how we work, all in pursuit of a better experience for colleagues and clients. There are limitless problems to solve and opportunities for development alongside a team of clever and caring colleagues. Our culture is based on respect, inclusion, diversity, challenge, stretch, and valuing feedback. We believe people reach their best potential when the different facets of their home, work, and community are all cared about. We offer a fun, fast-paced work environment, competitive and innovative benefits, and the ability to define your role in pursuit of your aspirations.

As a Vice President within Preqin's Business Development team, you will play a pivotal role in accelerating growth across the DACH region. We seek a commercially driven, relationship-oriented professional excited to build momentum, open doors, and close meaningful partnerships. You will make an immediate impact by generating new subscription revenue, building a strong and sustainable pipeline, and expanding existing client relationships in close partnership with Aladdin Client Engagement colleagues. You will lead go-to-market efforts in Germany, driving demand through localized events, targeted outreach, and strategic lead generation. This is a highly visible role with real ownership, autonomy, and opportunity to shape growth in one of our most important markets.

Your responsibilities include owning the full sales lifecycle from first conversation to close, engaging senior decision makers, understanding client needs, and delivering thoughtful, value-driven solutions. You will actively develop new business opportunities and uncover strategic expansion opportunities within the existing client base. You will bring Preqin's products and capabilities to life by confidently articulating how we help clients solve complex private markets challenges. This includes delivering compelling proposals, running impactful product demonstrations, and acting as a trusted partner throughout the buying journey—whether meeting clients in person or virtually. Above all, you will be a collaborative force, working cross-functionally, sharing insights, and contributing to a team culture that celebrates success and learns from every experience.

Experience
Meaningful experience in business development or account management within financial services, alternative investments, or B2B SaaS environments. Proven track record of delivering results by consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets. Comfortable navigating complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders. Strong proficiency with Microsoft tools (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and comfort with technology more broadly.

About you
Fluent in English and German. Commercially savvy, analytically strong, and naturally detail oriented. Energetic, curious, and possessing a growth mindset. Skilled in thoughtful negotiation, identifying cross-sell and upsell opportunities, and creating long-term value for clients. Enjoy solving problems, taking ownership of outcomes, and managing priorities with a disciplined yet flexible approach. A great teammate who builds trust quickly, collaborates openly, and contributes positively to team momentum.

Qualifications
Relevant qualifications in business development, sales, or related fields are advantageous but not explicitly required. A strong commitment to continuous learning and professional growth is essential.
