# Business Development Representative, Fund Platform

AKJ Group

## About AKJ

AKJ is building the infrastructure layer for the next generation of asset managers, starting with hedge funds. Since 1995 we have grown into a global brokerage, a hedge fund specialist and a digital assets pioneer. We serve hedge fund and institutional clients in 35 countries, and our ecosystem holds more than $2 billion in assets. Our platform has won HFM's Best Hedge Fund Platform award eight times, and in 2026 we became the first business in the Nordics to receive a MiCA licence.

We run like a professional sports team, not a family. We hire for judgment, impact, curiosity and grit, and we promote people who show them.

## The Role

This is a hunter role. You will find fund managers who want to launch a hedge fund, start the conversation and bring them to the table. You will work directly with our Head of Growth and Head of Relationship Management, so you learn the business, the platform and the industry by selling it.

We seek future managers. The role is built as a launchpad to management positions within AKJ. Within 6 to 9 months, strong performers move on to managing their own fund manager relationships, and within 24 months can progress to other management positions across AKJ's hedge fund, AI and crypto departments.

## What You'll Do

-   Build pipeline by finding and qualifying portfolio managers, traders, financial professionals and anyone else looking to launch a fund, using LinkedIn and your own research
-   Run outbound campaigns and follow-ups that turn cold contacts into live conversations
-   Book and prepare prospects for platform presentations and Infrastructure Proposal calls, then support the senior team through to close
-   Keep the pipeline in our CRM accurate and up to date, and track your activity against clear targets
-   Learn AKJ's platform, regulatory set-up and digital assets offering well enough to hold credible conversations with experienced investment professionals
-   Feed back what you hear in the market so we can sharpen our messaging and playbook

## What We're Looking For

-   A strong academic record from a leading university, in finance, economics, law, engineering or a related field
-   Excellent written and spoken English
-   A real interest in hedge funds, financial markets, crypto and AI. Hedge fund knowledge is a plus
-   Drive, resilience and comfort with rejection: you like opening doors
-   The ambition and judgment to grow into a leadership role
