This role is centred on engaging senior financial stakeholders—such as CFOs, Finance Directors, and Treasury leads—through structured outreach and insightful research.

Working closely with Marketing and Revenue Operations teams, the Senior BDE will drive the identification of market opportunities and implement integrated lead generation campaigns through multiple touch points (email, phone, social media) that drive pre-qualified pipeline.

Key to the role is a deep understanding of market sales triggers and the characteristics of an ideal client profile (ICP). The Senior BDE must apply strategic thinking to develop and drive tailored sales processes, efficiently triaging leads into appropriate pathways. A strong background in high growth environments with complex SaaS products, FX or financial services is preferred.

• Use sales and origination tools and platforms (e.g. Apollo, Zoominfo, Pitchbook, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator) and sector reports to build insight-led approaches
• Execute regular daily contact cadences using targeted messaging, economic insights, and sector insights to increase qualified leads.

Advanced Qualification:

• Qualify leads against strategic ICP criteria: £5m+ FX flow, exposure to volatility, stakeholder access, and appetite for hedging/structured products.
• Conduct introductory calls to uncover pain points, decision-making structures, urgency, and buying processes.
• Align leads to MEDDIC and Challenger methodologies to ensure fit with the strategic sales process.
• Converts and/or handover qualified opportunities to Account Executives with detailed discovery summaries and CRM updates.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Partner with Account Executives and Heads of Sales to map accounts, execute multi tread outreach strategies (across target client buying champions and decision makers), and co-plan outbound efforts.
• Be part of deal sales team that supports key deals through pipeline to close.
• Work with Marketing team to develop and run sector specific sales campaigns. Track campaign outcomes and support Marketing in Account-Based Marketing (ABM) initiatives.
• Collaborate with Revenue Operations and enablement teams to refine messaging, validate ICPs, and streamline process handovers.

• 3+ years in B2B origination roles within complex products with longer sales cycles
