Job description

The Opportunity

Our client is looking for ambitious individuals to join them as they scale from an already-fast-growing independent to one of the leading names in FX. Based in Canary Wharf, this is a business that’s grown 30% year-on-year since 2017 and they’re not slowing down.

They’re privately owned, founder-led, and built by people who still get on the phone with clients. No corporate red tape, no committee decisions just a fast-paced desk with real ownership on the table for people who want to get stuck in.

Who are they?

An independently owned FX company specialising in tailored currency hedging, doing £1.6 billion in annual FX flow with a current EBITDA valuation of £25-30 million. Founder led who has no plans to sell and no interest in slowing the growth down.

Their CEO is hands‑on and still client‑facing leading from the front, not from behind a desk. It’s a business built on hustle, and they’re looking for people who want to build alongside them.

The Role

• You’ll join a full cycle sales team, opening and closing your own deals.
• No sales targets for your first 6–8 months the focus is on learning the market properly before you’re let loose.
• Ongoing development sessions three times a week, plus daily theoretical FX training from experienced trainers.
• You’ll be supported by senior closers who are actively in the market helping you close deals, not just managing you from a distance.
• Real clients, real volume. Around 60 leads a month and 8 verified meetings, working with clients exchanging over £2k a month.
• Client retention here runs at 70%, so you’re not just closing and moving on you’re building relationships that stick.

What’s on Offer

• Base salary £35,000
• OTE Y1: £60k, Y2: £90k, Y3: £110k+ (top performers exceed this comfortably)
• Equity for high performers
• A genuine seat at the table in a business that’s still writing its own rules
