• You are a natural networker who knows how to generate and convert leads within public sector circles.
• You are an excellent communicator and negotiator, able to present financial products clearly and compellingly.
• You are organised and compliance-conscious, ensuring proper documentation during every client onboarding process.
Your Responsibilities...
• You will identify and develop business opportunities within government institutions, ministries, and public agencies.
• You will promote the organisation's financial products and services to public sector employees and decision makers.

• A strong and growing pipeline of public sector leads is maintained and actively converted.
• Lasting relationships are built with key contacts across government institutions, ministries, and public agencies.
• All client onboarding is completed with proper documentation and full compliance.
• Valuable market intelligence is regularly provided, contributing to the organisation's public sector strategy.

• Building credibility and trust within public sector networks that may be resistant to new financial products.
• Maintaining momentum and hitting targets in a sales environment that requires patience and long-term relationship building.
• Keeping up with compliance and documentation requirements across multiple client onboarding processes simultaneously.
The Goodies...

• Opportunity for professional growth and development within the financial services sector.
