Job description

Our client is searching for a Sales Director who is a master of the "high-stakes" deal. You won't just be leading a team; you will be the chief architect of our revenue engine, ensuring that every cross-border transaction is a bridge to our clients' global success.

Who are you?

  • You don’t just wait for opportunities; you cultivate an ecosystem where high-value deals are the standard, not the exception.
  • You aren't just looking for "charisma"; you are building a repeatable, data-driven engine with clear talk tracks and disciplined CRM habits.
  • You aren't intimidated by the intersection of FX rates, treasury liquidity, and compliance; you see them as the tools to close the deal.
  • You thrive on coaching and mentoring, turning a group of individuals into a high-performing, synchronized sales force.
  • Whether closing a complex corporate pilot or managing a weekly forecasting review, you remain the steady hand that the team looks to for direction.

Your Responsibilities…

Revenue Strategy

  • You will take total ownership of monthly and quarterly revenue targets, building a go-to-market plan that translates high-level goals into daily team execution.
  • You will personally lead and close the "big fish" complex, high-value deals with corporates, HNIs, and financial institutions that move the needle.
  • You will maintain a "gold-standard" pipeline, providing leadership with transparent, accurate, and data-backed forecasts.
  • Architect of the Sales Engine

  • You will lead the hiring, onboarding, and coaching of the sales team, establishing a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
  • You will build the scalable "Sales Playbook"—defining objection handling, win / loss standards, and deal review cadences that allow the team to grow.
  • You will design territory and portfolio structures that maximize reach and ensure no opportunity is left on the table.
  • Partnerships & Cross-Functional Alignment

  • You will be the "bridge" between the market and our internal teams, partnering with Treasury and Operations to ensure our commercial promises are always deliverable.
  • You will represent our client at key industry events and conferences, building the brand’s credibility and unlocking strategic deal flow.
  • You will provide a critical feedback loop to Product teams, ensuring our offerings evolve ahead of market trends and customer needs.
  • What Success looks like…

  • The First 90 Days : Closing early strategic opportunities and establishing a consistent "rhythm of business" (weekly reviews, clear KPIs, and active objection tracking).
  • The 180-Day Mark : Achieving higher close rates and larger average deal sizes through a repeatable process that your team executes with precision.
  • Choreographed Growth : Seeing a pipeline where the handoff between Sales, Treasury, and Compliance is so seamless it feels like a single movement.
  • Market Presence : Hearing our client mentioned as the "first choice" for cross-border payments in the Nigerian financial ecosystem.
  • To be considered for this role you should have…

  • 7–10+ years in enterprise sales or relationship management, specifically closing high-value deals in Fintech, FX, or Banking.
  • Proven experience building and coaching high-performing sales teams and designing sales operating rhythms.
  • An established, active network within the Nigerian financial and B2B landscape.
  • Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to make data-driven decisions independently.
  • Experience designing compensation plans and GTM strategies that align with fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments.
  • The Goodies…

  • Senior Impact : A leadership role with direct influence over the company's revenue strategy and global expansion trajectory.
  • Competitive Rewards : A compensation package that includes strong performance-based incentives tied to clear commercial outcomes.
  • Autonomy & Flexibility : A hybrid remote setup that values your output and strategic expertise over "clock-in" hours.
  • Pioneer Status : The chance to shape the future of cross-border finance in a high-functioning environment that values your input.
  • Create a job alert for this search
