The Opportunity
We are seeking ambitious individuals who are dedicated to changing their lives over the next few years, by working in a challenging but highly rewarding sales role. This is an opportunity to be part of a close-knit sales team whose passion for personal development and elevating one another has made the company one of the fastest growing companies in Europe. Uncapped earning potential, flat-hierarchy, and the opportunity to become an equity partner are just some of the reasons our team work here. This is an opportunity for a self-starter – someone with big ambitions, but also the urgency and resilience to achieve them. Effort and potential are more important to us than experience, so if you’re committed, we’ll take care of the rest.
About Us
An award-winning financial services firm, providing currency risk management solutions to global corporates and institutions. Listed on the London Stock Exchange and recognised by the Financial Times as one of the fastest growing companies in Europe, we continue to remain a close-knit but ambitious community, with a UK sales team of just under 50 people based in London & Bristol. We have expanded our footprint across the globe, with a presence in Toronto, Amsterdam, Milan, and most recently Sydney.
We’re passionate about providing talented individuals with life-changing career opportunities and giving them the tools and support they need to fully take advantage of them. Over 50% of our sales team are Partners and we’re committed to making new shareholders each year. This continues to be possible because, despite being a mature, profitable and high growth business, we’ve never stopped acting like a start-up.
The Role
A hybrid position of business development and account management, as a Portfolio Manager, you will be responsible for building a portfolio of high value corporate clients from the ground-up. This begins with sourcing and engaging C-suite decision makers of medium to large businesses across an array of sectors. For each new sales opportunity you initiate, you’ll have the choice of six mentors to support you through the process, enabling you to learn from the people you work best with and putting you in control of your development. These are people who know first-hand what it takes to be successful in the role – Partners who have grown their own seven figure portfolios and have a vested interested in seeing you succeed. They will help you learn the business, your clientele and a range of strategies to add value to them. As you develop, your portfolio will continue to grow, and naturally your position will move further into a blend of account management and business development.
Our team liken the role to growing their own business within a business, and this comes with all the accountability, demands and rewards you would expect. Commissions are uncapped, residual and received on every pound your portfolio makes. As well as the support from your mentors, you will also have Alpha’s leading technology, resources and approach at your disposal.
