Business Development Director Charities
London
My role as Business Development Director Charities is to help ensure that Rathbones best serves the needs of charities. The key to this is listening and really understanding their needs. While charities often have similar investment requirements, each is unique and will have particular needs that are important to them. We discuss these needs with our investment team, who can then develop a bespoke solution for each charity. An important aspect of my role is to ensure that charities know about Rathbones. So, I will look to promote the Rathbones name and seek to involve us in industry events that are useful for charities - such as conferences, roundtable events and training seminars. I also work with the charity consultant community, to ensure they remain up to speed with all Rathbones' charity team developments, so they can confidently recommend Rathbones to their clients.
