About the role
Chief Revenue Officer
Help shape the future of a specialist agency at the heart of global financial markets
The Realization Group is a specialist marketing and communications agency built exclusively for the capital markets and institutional finance sector. We work as an extension of our clients' teams, pairing deep sector knowledge with marketing, content and public relations expertise to help financial markets firms build profile, credibility and commercial advantage.
We are entering an ambitious phase of growth, and we are looking for a Chief Revenue Officer to lead it. This is a rare opportunity to take a board-level commercial role in a modern, AI-forward agency, own our most important client relationships, and build the structure and pipeline that will define our next chapter.
The role
Reporting to the CEO and sitting on the Board, you will own and drive the commercial performance of the business. You will lead new business generation, shape and execute our commercial strategy, and take direct ownership of our highest-value client relationships. You will combine front-line selling and senior client leadership with the discipline to build repeatable, well-run processes that let the firm scale.
We are looking for a modern commercial leader: highly organised, technology and AI-forward, and equally comfortable building relationships at the most senior levels of the industry and putting in place the systems that make growth sustainable.
What you will do
Own the new business agenda, identifying priority targets, defining how we reach them and converting them into long-term clients.
Build and lead a structured, disciplined sales process, with accurate pipeline tracking and forecasting.
Take direct ownership of our largest and highest-value client relationships, bringing structure, organisation and transparency to how they are run.
Open new client segments and service offerings beyond our traditional capital markets base, including commercial finance and growth-stage fintechs.
Champion an AI-first, process-driven culture, adopting and promoting tools that increase efficiency, quality and consistency.
Contribute to Board-level discussions on strategy, growth and the firm's long-term direction.
What we are looking for
At least 7 years in senior commercial, sales or client leadership roles, ideally with strong agency experience, and with a strong track record of winning and growing business.
Strong knowledge of the financial services industry and an active, relevant network of senior relationships.
Demonstrable senior client relationship and account management experience, ideally with large, complex or high-value accounts.
Highly organised and process-driven, with the discipline to keep pipelines, reporting, proposals and CRM records accurate and up to date.
A confident, enthusiastic adopter of AI and digital tools in a commercial setting.
UK-based and able to travel nationally and internationally as required.
We recognise that strong candidates may not meet every point. Relevant network, commercial instinct and cultural fit matter as much as years of experience, so if this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
Desirable
Established contacts in the United States to support our growth in the region.
Experience selling integrated marketing, content or public relations services.
Familiarity with HubSpot, Teamwork.com or comparable CRM and project management platforms, and with modern AI tools such as Anthropics and OpenAI’s tooling.
Why join The Realization Group
A genuine board-level role with real influence over the direction and growth of the firm.
A competitive package: £125,000 including commission and bonus scheme.
A company-wide EMI share scheme
Remote-first flexibility, with travel to London and industry events as required.
A modern, AI-forward culture where new thinking and better ways of working are actively encouraged.
The chance to work with leading firms across capital markets and institutional finance.
