A Business Development Manager focused on asset management is needed in Century City for a permanent, management-level role recruited through Fides Recruitment. The salary is R100,000 – R120,000 per month, and commission is listed as a benefit. The original advert was posted on 29 October 2026 and runs for 34 days.
Fides Recruitment was founded in 2008 by seasoned recruiter Brent Leeuw, and in 2011 a second company, Fides Placements, was started to focus on executive search and placements. Fides helps clients find high-calibre individuals who are hard to find. This role aims to improve the flows into the company’s portfolios, amongst advisors who have both a primary and a secondary relationship with external platforms, by positioning the company as the ‘go to’ investment option for their clients. Note that this is a distinct vacancy from the other Business Development Manager post for Century City already on this site: this one is specifically about asset management and the Cogence external platform.
The manager is expected to increase net inflows amongst independent financial advisors (large, mid-tier and small) writing on external platforms. The role calls for a strong existing network of independent financial advisors, Fund of Funds, Private Wealth and Tied Agency brokers, and for building strong relationships amongst those brokers by creating the right level of activity. Duties also include implementing the external platform sales strategy for Cogence, bringing a deep understanding of business dynamics and challenges, and the ability to influence and negotiate with impact across divisions and teams at all levels. Some wording in the listing view was cut off, so check the original advert for the full duty descriptions before applying.
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here. Candidates should have established relationships with a minimum of 50 independent financial advisors (the listing view cuts off at this point, so confirm the full requirement on the original advert). Industry-related experience is required, with particular focus on the technical positioning and selling of local products, and a strong network of independent financial advisors, Fund of Funds, Private Wealth and Tied Brokers. Candidates need extensive technical and/or business experience with a proven track record of innovation, delivery and performance, a formal Finance or Commerce degree at least at an Honours level (or an equivalent qualification), and a minimum of 5 years of sales experience in the asset management industry. The desired skills listed are Business Development, IFA, Private Wealth and Asset Management, and the desired qualification level is a degree.
Apply only through the original CareerJunction advert, using the Apply button on this page, which links to the original advert. Be wary of anyone asking for fees, banking details or personal documents outside the official application route, and never pay to apply for a job.
Make your advisor network easy to evidence: name the segments you cover, such as independent financial advisors, Fund of Funds and Private Wealth, and describe the inflows or platform activity you have driven. If you hold a Finance or Commerce degree at Honours level, say so plainly, and highlight your years of asset management sales experience and your familiarity with external platforms.
Applications go through the original CareerJunction advert, where the recruiter reviews submissions and contacts shortlisted candidates. Keep your CV focused on asset management sales, advisor relationships and platform work, and be ready to discuss the networks you already bring.
