Impact and Responsibilities

We are looking for a sharp, relationship driven sales pro who knows how to navigate a complex sale without being pushy. This isn't a transactional "boiler-room" sales role. Our target market requires a thoughtful, considered approach.

You’ll be inheriting some warm accounts to get you started, but you could be someone who gets a buzz from turning cold accounts around, too.

What you’ll be doing

• Market Intelligence and Conquest: Hunt for new business, conducting deep-dive intelligence across escrow, payments, and regulatory landscapes. Identify opportunities in target markets, ensuring our offerings remain ahead of regulatory shifts.

• Pipeline Generation: Drive net new revenue through proactive outbound prospecting (cold calling, social selling, events). Master CRM tools to prioritise high-value leads and own the entire sales funnel from initial contact to close.

• Payments Expertise: Become the definitive Payments Expert. Execute compelling sales presentations that dismantle client pain points, "how do I move money safely?" and clearly demonstrate our unique, risk-eliminating value.

• Going Deep into Accounts: Mapping out organisations and penetrating multiple departments. You’ll land and expand through referrals, networking, and leveraging your personal brand.

• Networking: Attending industry events and being the confident, professional face of our brand. You’re someone who genuinely enjoys face-to-face networking.

• Being Present: This is a hybrid role. You’ll be in the office a few days a week to collaborate with the team, mixed with traveling across the UK to meet clients on their home turf.

What we're looking for in you

• Proven B2B sales hunter (ideally within Payments, Fintech, or Legal) who doesn't just sell, you solve complex problems.

• An expert at outbound prospecting, pursuing new client acquisition and closing high end deals with strategically tailored proposals.

• You know how to turn a single point of contact into an web of internal referrals across an entire business.

• You’re entirely comfortable walking into a room full of strangers at an event and leaving with a handful of solid leads.

• Happy to travel for client meetings and split your week between the office and the road.

• Motivated by exceeding KPIs, and possess the strategic mentality required to maintain a robust pipeline that guarantees accurate revenue forecasting.
