• Build strong relationships with any potential partner within the UK & EU markets.
• Attend networking events and industry conferences to build a network of partners.
• Prepare partnership proposals that exceed the expectations of each potential alliance partner as well as fit our own hurdles for an expected return on investment.
• Work closely with the assigned partnership Account Manager to ensure that all partners are well‑positioned for future success.
• Communicate the technical details of our payments platform in a correct, simple and effective manner.
• Ensure that all sales & promotional activities are consistent with the regulatory obligations of the company.
• Take initiative to assist and collaborate with other team members for team performance and completion of tasks.
• Ensure a timely, clear and well‑documented handover of each client from Partnership Sales to Account Management.
• Partner revenue and speed to activation will be key performance metrics in this role.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement ethos of the EMEA team.

What you bring:

• Commercially astute, you can see the big picture and can sell it to potential partners.
• You are comfortable building business cases and asking the right discovery questions to evaluate a good fit all round.
• You are natural at building relationships. People work with you because they trust you and because you deliver to promise.
• An individual sales target motivates you to bring the team forward with you.
• A proven background in achieving sales targets and meeting clearly defined KPI’s.
• Minimum of 2–3 years sales experience in FX, payments, financial services or technology sales.
• Affiliate or strategic partnership sales experience preferred.
• Digitally savvy, comfortable working in Salesforce and other AI‑driven tools that help our commercial conversations have more impact.
• Strong attention to detail and lateral thinking skills.
• Native‑level fluency in English.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills including ability to communicate technical details.
