We are looking for a strategic and entrepreneurial Business Development Manager to join a boutique advisory firm active in financial and legal consulting. The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of corporate advisory services and a proven ability to open new markets, build partnerships, and drive revenue growth.

Your Role

In this newly created position, you will play a key part in accelerating the firm's development and strengthening its presence across Belgium. Your responsibilities will include:

• Enhancing the visibility and performance of existing service lines, particularly in areas such as corporate transactions and conflict-related advisory.

• Proactively identifying emerging market opportunities and developing tailored approaches to reach potential clients.

• Designing and rolling out business development initiatives aligned with the company’s growth roadmap.

• Building long-term partnerships with corporate decision-makers, stakeholders, and industry influencers.

• Coordinating with internal experts to shape value-driven commercial proposals and marketing strategies.

• Acting as a brand ambassador at key industry forums, professional events, and networking platforms.

• Exploring untapped markets and creating entry points to expand the firm’s client base.

What’s in It for You

• A full-time or 80% position with flexibility and hybrid working options.

• Frequent collaboration with teams based in Brussels and Ghent; your scope covers all Belgian regions.

• A workplace culture that values initiative, independence and purpose.

• An attractive compensation package with various fringe benefits: meal vouchers, mobility budget (with the possibility of a company car), professional tools (laptop, phone).

• Performance-based variable remuneration.

• Option to collaborate under a self-employed consultancy framework if preferred.

Your Background

• Professional experience: Minimum 5 years in a business development, sales or client-facing role within a legal, financial or advisory context. You bring credibility and insight into complex services such as governance consulting, shareholder matters, family business structuring, and corporate finance.

• Business acumen: You combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach. You are able to spot market gaps and translate them into concrete business initiatives. A well-developed network in the Belgian business ecosystem is a definite plus.

• Relationship skills: You communicate with clarity and impact, and excel at building trust-based relationships across various stakeholder levels.

• Leadership mindset: You are self-driven, confident in managing cross-functional efforts, and willing to challenge the status quo when needed.

• Languages: You are fluent in either Dutch or French and have a strong command of the other (minimum C1 level), as your responsibilities span Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia.
