Business Development Manager - Alternative Banking & Payments

About the role

What you'll do

• Prospect, cold-call, and network your way to a strong pipeline of qualified corporate leads.
• Build relationships with senior finance stakeholders — CFOs, treasurers, and finance directors — and understand their FX needs well enough to deliver solutions that actually work.
• Take deals from first conversation to signed contract, managing objections and adapting proposals along the way.
• Support a smooth client onboarding onto our platform.

• Identify target markets, track the competitive landscape, and stay sharp on industry developments that affect us.
• Work with marketing and product to make sure your sales approach and theirs are pulling in the same direction.

• Hit weekly, monthly, and annual revenue targets through disciplined pipeline management.
• Keep CRM records accurate and up to date — and use the data to course-correct, not just report.
• Track conversion rates and pipeline health; flag issues early.

• Keep up with regulatory requirements through ongoing training.
• Conduct due diligence on prospective clients to manage credit and operational risk.

What we'll measure

• FX revenue against monthly and annual targets
• New clients onboarded and meetings generated
• Pipeline quality and conversion rates
