One must have — A portable book; You arrive with clients

- Sector-segmented pipeline across logistics, travel, pharma, e-commerce, and professional services
- Client wallet share growth month-on-month on existing accounts
- Market intelligence: competitor rates, corridor demand, client pain points fed back to product and treasury

- Build and develop one junior BD hire by month 6
What we need
- 3–6 years in B2B sales or BD inside a cross-border payments, FX, or fintech business — not adjacent to it
