Business Development Associate

Company Description
Marigold Capital Advisors is a wealth management firm based in Dubai (DIFC). We specialize in building systematic and data driven investing strategies. We are a growing firm, looking to add business development associate to our team.

Role Description
The Business Development Associate is a broad, cross-functional position supporting the firm across documentation, business development, and day-to-day operations. It is a role with genuine scope and responsibility, well suited to a capable generalist looking to build a broad skill set across an investment management firm, with clear opportunities to take on greater ownership as the firm grows.
There is no minimum level of experience required; we place greater weight on aptitude and fit than on years on a CV. We are looking for a clear communicator who is well organized, genuinely interested in finance and markets, and comfortable working across a variety of tasks. The right person takes ownership of their work, enjoys getting to the bottom of problems and finding practical solutions, and is eager to keep learning and pick up new tools.

What You’ll Work On
• Prepare and maintain a range of documents across the firm, including investor materials such as KYC packs and checklists, internal process notes, and investor facing summaries.
• Author materials about Firm’s investment strategies and other complex material for consumption by investment professionals and clients.
• Assist with business development activity, from preparing materials for investor meetings to following up with clients and counterparties to maintain momentum.
• Serve as a first point of contact for incoming enquiries, ensuring each is directed appropriately and addressed in a timely manner.
• Identify opportunities to raise the firm’s profile, including relevant industry events, communication channels, and potential partnerships.
• Support the tracking and coordination of key processes and pipelines, such as client onboarding, to ensure they progress efficiently.
• Contribute to operational improvements, such as building reusable templates and refining processes where they can be made more efficient.
• Provide support to colleagues across the team, taking ownership of tasks and seeing them through to completion.
