  • Strong understanding of regulated financial products and the commercial needs of institutional clients;

  • Professional fluency in English, including the ability to present and negotiate with senior international stakeholders;

  • A self-directed approach to prospecting, pipeline ownership, and revenue delivery.

Nice to Have

  • Experience selling stablecoin, blockchain, digital-asset, treasury, or crypto infrastructure;

  • Knowledge of MiCA, EMI operations, SEPA, cross-border payments, or embedded finance;

  • Relationships with stablecoin issuers, exchanges, payment platforms, banks, or institutional investors;

  • Experience structuring API, white-label, liquidity, or platform partnerships.

🀝 Key Competencies

  • Consultative selling and the ability to translate infrastructure into clear commercial value;

  • Confidence navigating technical, regulatory, and operational discussions;

  • Strong negotiation skills and sound commercial judgement;

  • Persistence and discipline throughout complex enterprise sales cycles;

  • Credibility when working with founders, executives, and institutional decision-makers.

✨ The Employer Offers

  • A competitive base salary with a performance bonus linked to revenue delivery;

  • Potential participation in the company’s equity or stock option programme;

  • A remote-friendly working model across Europe and the United Kingdom;
