• An existing network across UK banking, payments or enterprise financial services.

• Confidence selling to senior and C-level decision makers.

• Experience navigating complex stakeholder groups, procurement processes and long sales cycles.

• A highly proactive, new-business-focused sales approach.

• The ability to work independently and take full accountability for commercial results.
