• Sector Advocacy: Act as the internal "Defence Expert," providing feedback to Product teams to ensure Ebury’s roadmap remains the best-in-class for this sector.
• Excellence in Execution: Maintain a rigorous pipeline via Salesforce, ensuring a culture of data-driven sales and superior relationship management.

• Global Mobility: Opportunities for international bootcamps and visiting one of our global offices.
• Fast-Track Leadership: A clear growth pathway from individual contributor to a partner in the business.
• Work from our flagship, modern office in London Victoria.

Qualifications

• Understand Defence: You can speak the language of "fixed-price bids," "long-term procurement," and "sovereign risk."
• Master Negotiator: You thrive in high-value negotiations and can articulate complex financial concepts to diverse stakeholders.
• Culture Carrier: You lead by example, fostering a competitive yet collaborative environment on the sales floor.
• Speak Fluent English: (a second language is a bonus).
