About the Role
This role is focused on business development across UK-headquartered marquee and enterprise clients, many of which operate with a significant global footprint. It sits within Preqin, part of BlackRock's Aladdin Client Business, transforming how private markets data and technology power investment decisions globally. Preqin expands BlackRock's private markets capabilities, complementing the Aladdin platform and helping clients view, analyze, and act across their entire portfolio.

As a Vice President within Preqin's Business Development team, you will play a pivotal role in accelerating growth across UK clients within marquee and enterprise segments. You will build and execute strategies reflecting the global nature of these relationships, engaging senior stakeholders and executing enterprise sales strategies that create long-term client value and meaningful growth for Preqin.

You will own the full sales lifecycle, from initial conversation to close, developing new business opportunities and uncovering strategic expansion within existing clients. Your responsibilities include building and executing enterprise account strategies for UK-headquartered, globally active firms, mapping decision-making structures, developing account plans, and coordinating activity across Preqin and BlackRock teams.

You will confidently articulate Preqin's products and capabilities, deliver compelling proposals, run impactful product demonstrations, and act as a trusted partner throughout the buying journey. Managing sophisticated sales cycles, negotiating thoughtfully, and progressing opportunities with discipline and pace are key to success.

This highly visible role offers real ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape growth within one of BlackRock's most important client segments. You will work collaboratively across functions, sharing market and client insights, and contributing to a team culture that celebrates success and learns from every experience.

BlackRock offers a fun, fast-paced work environment, competitive and innovative benefits, and the ability to define your role in pursuit of your aspirations.

Experience
Proven track record in business development or account management within financial services, alternative investments, data, analytics, or B2B SaaS environments.

Experience with globally active clients or accounts with international stakeholder groups is highly relevant.

About you
Commercially savvy, analytically strong, and detail oriented. You enjoy solving problems, take ownership of outcomes, and bring a disciplined yet flexible approach to managing priorities. You are relationship oriented, collaborative, and build trust quickly. You contribute positively to team momentum and thrive in a culture of respect, inclusion, diversity, challenge, and feedback. Fluency in English is required. Strong proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and comfort with technology more broadly is essential.

Qualifications
No specific qualifications are mandated; however, relevant experience in business development or account management within the financial services or related sectors is expected. A growth mindset, energy, curiosity, and the ability to create long-term value for clients are critical.
