• Deliver tailored, value-led sales pitches aligned to client trading, compliance, and technology needs
• Attend and speak at industry events, roundtables, and conferences to promote the brand and generate leads
• Work cross-functionally with internal product, legal, compliance, and onboarding teams to deliver a seamless client journey
• Keep abreast of macroeconomic trends, FX market developments, and competitive intelligence to maintain a consultative sales approach
• Maintain CRM hygiene and report accurately on pipeline performance and forecasting metrics

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 5+ years’ experience in FX sales, trading technology, or financial data/platform sales
• Strong track record of consistently exceeding revenue targets in a solution-led sales environment
• Proven ability to manage full sales cycle across complex institutional accounts
• Deep understanding of FX markets and multi-asset trading infrastructure
• Comfortable selling to C-suite, Heads of Trading, Portfolio Managers, and Treasury teams
• Highly self-motivated, results-driven, and confident working in a hybrid, fast-paced environment
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
• Fluent English required; additional languages a plus

What’s on Offer

• £90,000 base salary + uncapped commission structure
• High-visibility role with significant impact on business growth
• Hybrid work model (3 days in office, 2 from home)
• Clear progression path into sales leadership or account strategy roles
• Collaborative, high-performance culture with strong leadership support
• Private pension, wellness initiatives, and generous holiday allowance

This is a career-defining opportunity for an experienced FX sales professional to join a top-tier firm at the forefront of institutional trading innovation.
