At Verto, we’re passionate about helping businesses in Emerging Markets reach the world. What first started life as an FX solution for trading Nigerian Naira has now become a market-leading platform, changing the way thousands of businesses transfer money in and out of Emerging Markets.

We believe that where you do business shouldn’t determine how successful you are or your ability to scale. Millions of companies a day have to juggle long settlement periods, high transaction fees, and issues accessing liquidity to trade with African businesses.

We’re on a mission to change this by creating equal access to easy payment and liquidity solutions that are already a given in developed markets. Backed by world-class investors and recognised for our innovation — including winning the Milken-Motsepe Prize in FinTech, receiving the B2B Payments Innovation Award at the 2025 FinTech Breakthrough Awards, and being named ‘Fintech Start-Up of the Year’ at the Fintech Awards London 2022 — we are growing rapidly, processing billions of dollars annually.

Each year we process billions of dollars of payments and provide companies with solutions that help them save money, automate processes, and grow, but we’re only just getting started.

We are seeking a motivated and proactive Sales Development Representative (SDR) to be based in our London office, playing a key role in driving our growth within the UK market. As an SDR, you will play a vital role in generating new business opportunities by identifying and qualifying potential clients, contributing directly to Verto’s growth in the region. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their sales career who is passionate about fintech and eager to make an impact in a dynamic financial hub.

Responsibilities:

• Lead Generation: Research and identify potential SME clients within the UK involved in international trade who could benefit from Verto’s payment and FX solutions.
• Outbound Outreach: Initiate contact with prospects via email, phone, LinkedIn, and other channels to introduce Verto’s services and qualify interest.
• Pipeline Support: Work closely with the wider sales team to book qualified meetings and ensure a smooth handoff of prospects.
• CRM Management: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of prospect interactions and lead status in the CRM system.
• Market Insight: Stay informed about industry trends, customer pain points, and competitor offerings within the UK fintech and payments landscape to refine outreach strategies.
• Team Collaboration: Share insights and collaborate with marketing and sales colleagues to improve messaging and campaign effectiveness.
  
  

Requirements:

• Experience: 1–2 years of experience in a B2B sales, lead generation, or business development role—ideally within fintech, financial services, or SaaS. Internship experience also considered for highly motivated candidates.
• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English. Curiosity and Drive: A proactive attitude, willingness to learn, and the ability to handle rejection while maintaining energy and professionalism.
• Cultural Awareness: Familiarity with or interest in UK business practices and the London fintech ecosystem is preferred.
• Organizational Skills: Ability to manage multiple tasks, follow up effectively, and prioritize in a fast-paced environment.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or a related field is preferred, but not required with relevant experience.
