Job description

About Verto

At Verto, we're on a mission to democratise global finance and empower businesses in Emerging Markets to reach the world. Founded by British-Nigerian entrepreneurs Ola Oyetayo and Anthony Oduu, our roots in Africa provided a firsthand understanding of the significant challenges businesses face with cross-border payments, ranging from illiquid currencies and high fees to slow transactions. This deep-rooted insight is why Africa remains a core focus, as we're committed to bridging the gap between emerging and developed markets and fostering global economic growth.

What started as an FX solution for the Nigerian Naira has evolved into a market-leading platform, enabling thousands of businesses to seamlessly transfer billions of dollars annually. We believe that where you do business shouldn’t determine your success or ability to scale. We're creating equal access to the easy payment and liquidity solutions that are already a given in developed markets.

We're not alone in realising this crucial need; we're backed by world-class investors including Y-Combinator, Quona, and MEVP. With Verto receiving the Milken-Motsepe Prize, appearing on CNBCs list of fastest growing UK companies, the Deloitte Fast 50 and Sifted’s fastest-growing UK tech companies, we are building a seamless cross-border payment future.

Join us as we continue to grow and transform global finance.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Determining needs, building value, and gaining acceptance of Verto's solutions with new clients.

  • Prospecting, identifying, and generating new opportunities via cold calling, email, phone, and LinkedIn to build a strong pipeline of targeted prospects.

  • Managing the sales pipeline through all sequential stages of the sales process: initial outreach, product demo, negotiation, and closing deals.

  • Taking a consultative approach with the management team while navigating multiple decision-makers.

  • Consistently exceeding your monthly sales quota and being well-compensated for doing so.

  • Working closely with the Account Management function to upsell and cross-sell the Verto suite of products.

What You Need:

  • Minimum 5 years of sales experience within the payments space.

  • Strong executive presence with excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

  • A team player mentality with the ability to work independently toward lofty goals.

  • Excellent organisational skills, including prioritisation, scheduling, and time management.

  • A coachable, self-motivated, curious, and resilient mindset.

We will not be able to progress your application without all the above skills/qualifications

What We’d Like To See:

  • A "black book" of potential clients would be highly advantageous.

  • A well-rounded background with varied interests and proven leadership experience.

  • Experience in dealing with clients from Africa and the Middle East.

Our Interview Process:

Step 1: Initial Call - A brief chat with our Talent Acquisition team to discuss your experience and interests.

Step 2: Hiring Manager Interview - Deeper dive into your skills and experience relevant to the role.

Step 3: Panel Interview - Meet key team members and discuss problem-solving scenarios. Step 4: CEO Chat - Meet our Co-founder and CEO and explore how you'll be contributing to the wider business strategy.

Step 5: Offer - We aim to make a decision quickly after the final interview.

You’ll Fit Right In If You...

  • Love asking “why?”

  • Understand sync vs. async communication practices

  • Thrive in ambiguity and change

  • Prioritise impact over activity
