About this role:

We are seeking a passionate and driven Business Growth Manager to spearhead our expansion in the European Market. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a dynamic and diverse sales team dedicated to identifying key prospects, acquiring new clients, and driving market share growth.

Reporting Line: Banking Lead 

Location: Limassol, Cyprus

Responsibilities: 

• Develop and execute client acquisition strategies, with a strong focus on business bank accounts.
• Build and maintain a portfolio of merchants and introducers across low, medium and high-risk verticals (holding companies, software & game developers, marketing companies, crypto, forex, gaming, tech, etc.).
• Generate leads through HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn, existing portfolio clients, and introducer networks.
• Drive the full sales cycle: outreach → intro call → pricing → compliance (CDD) → onboarding.
• Stay actively engaged during onboarding, ensuring deals go live and clients are activated.
• Navigate central bank and EU regulatory requirements to prevent onboarding delays.
• Manage structured pipeline reporting using Excel/Google Suite, alongside HubSpot or Apollo (Salesforce or similar tools also acceptable).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Banking Ops, Compliance, Legal, CRM) to deliver seamless onboarding.
• Represent payabl. at local and European industry events, building relationships and reinforcing brand credibility.

What we need:

• 4+ years of business development or sales experience within Fintech, EMI, Payments, or Business Banking environments.

• Proven track record of closing complex B2B deals and managing revenue-generating client portfolios.
• A self-driven commercial professional who can own the full revenue lifecycle, from sourcing opportunities to closing and scaling accounts.
• Comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability, with a mindset focused on quality pipeline and long-term value, not just activity volume.
• Strong understanding of business banking and payments, including local and international payment rails (FPS, BACS, CHAPS, SEPA, SEPA Instant).
• Familiarity with FX, card issuing, and regulated onboarding processes, including exposure to higher-risk merchant categories (desirable).
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage senior decision-makers, including C-suite and Finance Directors.
• Confident in managing internal and external stakeholders across commercial, operational, and regulatory discussions.
• Strong working knowledge of CRM platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, or equivalent) and pipeline management best practices.
• Comfortable using tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Apollo as enablers — not as the core of a high-volume outbound motion.
