Senior Sales Manager

Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that.

You are results-oriented with a track record of meeting and exceeding targets
You have a creative and strategic mindset with a knack for identifying and amplifying market opportunities
