Job description

FX Sales Specialist | Up to £30000 Base + Uncapped Commission |

Hungry to earn? Get into the biggest market in financial services based out

Every day, trillions of pounds move across the global currency markets, and businesses need experts to help them do it. That's where you come in.

Our client is a fast-growing, independent foreign exchange and international payments specialist based in Cornwall. Its founders and senior team are experienced figures from the financial markets. The firm works with businesses whose currency needs are too large or complex for a one-size-fits-all bank offering.

This lets it offer the full range of FX services: spot and forward trading, hedging and risk management, multi-currency accounts and international payments. Credit decisions are made quickly, so new clients can start trading straight away instead of waiting weeks.

This is a new business sales role. Your job is to find, approach and win companies that need foreign exchange, from FTSE-listed corporates to SMEs. You'll spot businesses that are importing, exporting, paying overseas suppliers or holding foreign currency, start the conversation and turn them into long-term clients.

This role is for you if:

You're competitive and motivated by money

You have a natural eye for business and spotting opportunities

You want to be paid for the results you deliver, not just for turning up

You're a graduate ready to go into sales, or you already sell and want to move into a market with far more earning potential

What you'll be doing:

Researching and identifying businesses with foreign exchange needs, from FTSE-listed companies to SMEs

Prospecting and generating your own leads through calls, emails, LinkedIn and networking

Winning new B2B clients that trade internationally

Taking a consultative approach: understanding how a business works, where it's losing money on currency, and how you can fix that

Managing your own pipeline from first call to closed deal

Building and growing a client book that keeps paying you over time

Learning how global currency markets work, with full training provided

Why join?

The agility of a boutique with the strength of an established player. You'll have deep liquidity and strong banking partnerships behind you, without the red tape of a tier-one bank.

A product set that opens doors. You can win new clients with trading, risk management and payments, then grow those relationships across all three.

Speed to revenue. Quick credit decisions mean the deals you bring in actually close.

Room to grow. The business is still expanding, so high performers get real visibility, influence and progression.

What you'll get:

Up to £30,000 base salary

Uncapped commission, so the more you bring in, the more you earn

Full training, so no FX experience is needed

Clear progression for top performers

A fast-paced, ambitious sales team in West London

What they want from you:

Drive, resilience and a real hunger to succeed

Confidence picking up the phone and approaching new businesses

Confidence talking to business owners, finance directors and decision-makers

A commercial mindset and a desire to understand how businesses make money

Graduates and experienced salespeople are both welcome. FX, payments or treasury experience is a bonus but not essential.
