The Role

As Head of Business Development, Listings, you’ll help shape the growth of LTSE by connecting companies with a public market built around long-term value creation. You’ll engage directly with CEOs, C-suite leaders, and Boards of Directors, building trusted relationships and helping them see how an LTSE listing can advance their strategic ambitions. You’ll help translate a differentiated vision for the public markets into a compelling business case, and guide prospective clients from an initial conversation to a listing decision.

You’ll have room to shape the business development strategy and take a hands-on role in bringing it to life: opening doors, building pipelines, and navigating complex sales cycles. Working within a small, collaborative team, your ideas, relationships, and execution will directly influence LTSE’s growth. If you bring entrepreneurial drive, strong commercial judgment, and the patience and persistence to earn trust at the highest levels, this role offers the opportunity to build something meaningful and see the impact of your work on the world.

You’ll thrive in this role if you combine the credibility to earn trust in the boardroom with the entrepreneurial drive to open doors, the consultative skill to connect LTSE’s mission to a company’s strategic priorities, and the discipline and persistence to turn complex conversations into listing commitments.
