Business Development Manager – Financial Services Consulting (Portugal)

Taleo Consulting is an international management consulting group with a presence in France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, Portugal and Italy. With more than 450 professionals across 10 offices worldwide, we support leading organisations in Financial Services (banking, insurance, asset management), Life Sciences, Retail and Energy as they drive their transformations and create lasting impact.

At Taleo, you will find much more than a job. You will join an environment where ambitious people who want to build, not just perform, truly find their place.

YOUR ROLE As a Business Manager specialising in Financial Services, you will drive the business development of your scope in Portugal end to end: targeted prospecting of banks, insurers and asset managers operating in the Portuguese market, key account management, strategic partnerships and leadership of your own team of consultants.

This role requires autonomy and commitment. In return, it offers real visibility on your career path, up to the opportunity, for those who put in the work, to run their own business unit.

Your key responsibilities:

Develop and grow a portfolio of key accounts in Portugal across banking, insurance and capital markets

Identify new business opportunities and build long-term partnerships with decision-makers (CIOs, HR Directors, business line heads)

Act as the entrepreneur of your scope: from client relationship to mission follow-up and profitability

Build and lead your own team of consultants, overseeing their sourcing and professional development

Actively contribute to Taleo’s commercial strategy and growth in Portugal, in coordination with the group’s other offices

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

2 to 5 years of experience as a Business Manager, Business Developer or Account Manager within a consulting firm, IT services company or specialised staffing firm

Exposure to finance, banking or insurance, whether on the client, consultant or sales side: this is your real competitive advantage here

Knowledge of the Portuguese financial services market and a local network are a strong asset

You are a true hunter: prospecting, convincing and opening doors come naturally to you

You are autonomous, results-driven and take initiative without waiting for someone to map out the path

You already think in terms of leadership and want to build something for the long term

Comfortable with new technologies, digital tools and the transformation challenges facing the industry

A degree in business, finance or management is appreciated, but your track record is what matters most

Fluency in Portuguese and English is required; French is a valued asset in our international environment

Previous experience in recruitment or talent management is a real plus: our Business Managers are fully involved in building their own teams.

WHAT WE OFFER

Fixed salary based on profile and experience

Attractive, achievable variable compensation tied to your performance

A clear career path towards senior and managerial responsibilities

An entrepreneurial environment where initiative is valued and rewarded

A committed team, a culture focused on collective growth and an international dimension within the group

Based in Lisbon, Portugal. Start date: as soon as possible.
