Working closely with an Account Executive, you’ll identify high-potential businesses, engage founders and decision-makers, understand their growth ambitions and qualify opportunities for the wider sales team.

You’ll be encouraged to think creatively about how you prospect and engage customers rather than relying on a single outbound channel.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and engage prospective customers across the eCommerce and consumer brand landscape.
• Conduct high-volume outbound prospecting through cold calling, personalised email, LinkedIn and social selling.
• Speak directly with founders and senior decision-makers to understand their business, growth plans and potential funding requirements.

You’ll ideally bring:

• A strong sense of ownership and willingness to continuously improve.
• The ability to thrive within a fast-moving and evolving business.
• A naturally curious and commercially minded approach.
• Ambition to build a successful long-term career within sales.
• Professional fluency in English.

Previous startup, SaaS, FinTech or technology experience would be beneficial but is not essential.

Career Progression

This opportunity is particularly suited to someone who wants more than simply their next SDR/BDR position.

You’ll receive structured revenue and sales development designed to build the skills required to progress within the commercial organisation. High performers can build towards opportunities in areas such as Account Executive or Customer Success, with the business focused on developing its future commercial talent internally.

Why Join?

You’ll be joining an international technology company during an exciting stage of its growth, working alongside ambitious colleagues across multiple global markets.

The business offers a collaborative, high-performance culture where employees are encouraged to take ownership, think creatively and have a genuine impact on company growth.

The Sydney team operates within a flexible hybrid environment, combining in-person collaboration with flexibility. The broader organisation also provides employees with exposure to colleagues and leadership across its international offices.

If you’re ambitious, competitive, commercially minded and looking for an opportunity to accelerate your career within a high-growth FinTech environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now for immediate consideration. Please note only successful applicants will be shortlisted and contacted.
