## Description

A UK-based corporate foreign exchange and international payments provider. We help UK exporters and importers manage currency risk, reduce FX costs, and streamline cross-border payments.

We're hiring a Sales Development Representative based in South Africa to drive new business pipeline within the UK market. You'll be the first point of contact for prospective clients — UK businesses involved in importing and exporting — identifying their FX pain points and booking qualified meetings for the sales team.

This is a hunter role. You need to be comfortable with high-volume outbound activity, confident on the phone, and able to hold a commercial conversation about FX with finance directors, CFOs, and treasury managers.

**What you'll do:**

-   Execute outbound prospecting campaigns via phone, email, and LinkedIn targeting UK importers and exporters
-   Identify and qualify decision-makers (FDs, CFOs, MDs, treasury/finance managers) at UK SMEs and mid-market businesses
-   Articulate the value of corporate FX solutions including spot contracts, forward contracts, market orders, and international payment services
-   Book qualified discovery meetings and product demos for senior sales staff
-   Maintain accurate pipeline data and activity logging in the CRM
-   Research target industries and companies to build high-quality prospect lists
-   Collaborate with the sales team to refine messaging, objection handling, and targeting strategies
-   Meet and exceed weekly/monthly KPIs for calls, emails, meetings booked, and pipeline generated

## Requirements

-   3–4 years minimum experience in an SDR, BDR, or outbound sales role selling corporate FX solutions to UK businesses
-   Demonstrable understanding of corporate FX products: spot, forwards, NDFs, options, and international payments
-   Experience selling to UK-based importers, exporters, or businesses with cross-border payment needs
-   Proven track record of meeting or exceeding outbound activity and pipeline targets
-   Confident and professional phone manner with the ability to engage C-suite and senior finance stakeholders
-   Strong written communication skills for email and LinkedIn outreach
-   Familiarity with CRM tools (e.g. Salesforce, HubSpot) and sales engagement platforms
-   Self-motivated, disciplined, and comfortable working remotely in a fast-paced environment
-   Ability to work UK business hours (GMT/BST)

**Nice to have:**

-   Experience at a UK FX brokerage, payments company, or fintech
-   Existing knowledge of UK industries with high FX exposure (manufacturing, wholesale, e-commerce, agriculture, logistics)
-   Understanding of FCA-regulated environments and compliance considerations in FX sales
