About the role
Business Development Manager – Insurance & Legal Recruitment
Remote (with 2-3 days/week in London/on client visits) | Full-time | Michael James Associates
Michael James Associates (MJA) is a specialist recruitment consultancy focused on Business Change, IT, and Risk & Compliance roles across the Lloyd’s/London insurance market and the legal sector. We’re looking for a Business Development Manager who thrives on being out there — building relationships, opening doors, and bringing in the business that fuels our delivery team.
What you’ll be doing:
- Meeting clients face-to-face weekly — business lunches, industry events, and roundtables across the insurance and legal markets
- Spending 2-3 days a week in the City or travelling to clients around the UK, balanced with remote working
- Winning new client relationships and turning conversations into instructed roles
- Growing our existing accounts, staying front-of-mind so we’re first call for new vacancies
- Hosting and attending roundtable events, building MJA’s profile and network in the market
- Building a strong pipeline of live roles for the delivery team
- Working closely with consultants to make sure client needs turn into placements
Why you’ll enjoy this role:
- Genuinely relationship-first — this isn’t a desk-bound sales job, it’s built around meeting people
- Weekly client meetings, lunches, and networking — you’ll be part of the market, not just selling into it
- Real autonomy to build your own patch and way of working
- Backed by a specialist, established consultancy with real credibility in insurance and legal recruitment
- Uncapped earning potential — strong commission on every job you bring in and see filled
What’s on offer:
- Competitive base + generous commission on jobs brought in and filled
- Hybrid/remote base, with regular time in the City and on the road
- A role built around people, not paperwork
What we’re looking for:
- Proven B2B sales or business development experience — recruitment, insurance, legal, or financial services all relevant
- A natural relationship-builder, equally comfortable in a boardroom or over lunch
- Confident, personable, and genuinely energised by meeting new people
- Based in or able to travel regularly to London/UK
- Self-starter, target-driven, comfortable working remotely
