Sales Manager

About Verto Verto is on a mission to democratise global finance and empower businesses in emerging markets to reach the world. Founded by British‑Nigerian entrepreneurs Ola Oyetayo and Anthony Oduu, our roots in Africa give us a firsthand understanding of the challenges businesses face with cross‑border payments, including illiquid currencies, high fees and slow transactions. We remain committed to bridging the gap between emerging and developed markets and fostering global economic growth.

Prospecting, identifying, and generating new opportunities via cold calling, email, phone, and LinkedIn to build a strong pipeline of targeted prospects. Managing the sales pipeline through all sequential stages of the sales process: initial outreach, product demo, negotiation, and closing deals. Taking a consultative approach with the management team while navigating multiple decision‑makers. Consistently exceeding your monthly sales quota and being well‑compensated for doing so. Working closely with the Account Management function to upsell and cross‑sell the Verto suite of products. What You Need Minimum 5 years of sales experience within the payments space.
