• Secure and coordinate high-value discovery calls and commercial meetings, ensuring opportunities are well-qualified and positioned for progression through the sales pipeline.
• Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders — including Marketing, Compliance, Product, and Client Onboarding — to drive seamless opportunity conversion and an exceptional prospect experience.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and commercially relevant documentation of all activity, pipeline status, and prospect insights within the CRM, ensuring visibility and reporting integrity.
• Support the planning and execution of outbound campaigns and targeted go-to-market initiatives across assigned sectors, regions, or strategic verticals.
• Consistently deliver against performance objectives, including weekly activity benchmarks and monthly qualified opportunity targets, contributing to overall revenue growth and pipeline health.
• Build commercial knowledge across international markets, enterprise sales methodology, FX and treasury solutions, while leveraging ongoing development opportunities within SOKIN’s broader commercial organization.

Requirements

• 6+ years of proven enterprise sales experience, with a strong track record of managing complex, high-value deals and long sales cycles across senior stakeholder groups.
• Recognised champion and advocate within their specialist field, demonstrating deep market expertise, thought leadership, and the ability to influence customers and internal teams.
• Strong ability to conduct high-quality discovery and structured qualification, uncovering commercial priorities, operational pain points, and treasury requirements to position solutions effectively.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to deliver clear, compelling, and value-driven messaging tailored to finance leaders and decision-makers (CFO, FD, Treasurer, Head of Finance).
• Commercially sharp, with strong business acumen and the ability to prioritize opportunities based on value, urgency, and strategic fit.
• Naturally curious and coachable, with a growth mindset and commitment to developing into a trusted advisor for clients and internal stakeholders.
