Business Developer

Description

The company is a fast-growing fintech, founded in 2009, with more than 2000 staff across nearly 70 cities. Its platform brings business accounts, hedging and financing together in one place, helping businesses manage and scale global cash flow.

This is a graduate Business Developer and FX Sales Associate role in the Lyon team, based in the office. You will learn sales in international finance on products that help businesses trade across borders.

The company offers a structured path to senior sales roles. A typical promotion to Sales Executive happens within your first 12 months, and you can move toward Head of Desk (sales management) or Client Portfolio Manager (managing key accounts as a trusted adviser).

Responsibilities

• Find new business by reaching decision-makers in a range of industries.
• Research each prospect, learn what they need, and shape your pitch to introduce them to international payment and FX solutions.
• Present your offer, negotiate terms and close deals. Your results drive your earnings and how quickly you progress.
• Work with internal teams so that newly signed clients get a smooth onboarding.

Requirements

• You are an enthusiastic, highly motivated recent graduate.
• You have some experience in B2B sales or client-facing work, or you want to build a career in it.
• You do not need FX experience. Potential counts for more than your CV, and training is provided.
• You speak French fluently and English at a strong business level.
• You are genuinely interested in financial markets and how global trade works.
• You have strong interpersonal and communication skills and the drive to meet ambitious targets.

Conditions

The role is based in the Lyon office.
