Group Head of Sales
Company Overview
Started in 2017, ONE is an innovative provider of financial services which leverages new technologies to provide services to customers who have traditionally been overlooked and underserved by existing institutions. We bring financial inclusion to corporate customers across the globe, principally within the (1) gaming/gambling; (2) crypto; and (3) complex & offshore sectors, but with an increasingly diverse customer base.
Our two core propositions are ONE Trading and ONE Payments. ONE Trading provides OTC crypto trading services for High Net Worth individuals, corporates, and institutional clients globally. ONE Payments is the payments and banking division of the group which is licensed in the UK (FCA-regulated), Switzerland and in Canada. We have developed and manage our own proprietary payments platform as well as a global network of partners and clients.
Overview of Role
The business has recently undergone a massive expansion which has primed it for its next phase of growth, particularly given the recent launch of its proprietary real-time FX platform (“RTFX Platform”), the imminent launch of its crypto payment processing solution (“ONE Gateway”), and its forthcoming entrance into the Middle East. As such, we are seeking a highly experienced and passionate Group Head of Sales to develop and oversee all aspects of sales & commercial partnerships in order to drive the business forwards towards achieving its lofty ambitions.

5. Sales process– develop, document and implement best-in-class sales processes, whilst working cross-functionally with key stakeholders to deliver a smooth onboarding and in-life customer experience (e.g. Customer Success, Marketing, Onboarding, Operations, Legal).
6. Sales performance– develop, implement and manage frameworks for assessing individual, team, and business performance (e.g. target setting, KPIs, revenue tracking, commissions, etc.)
7. Presence– present at and attend key events globally as the face of ONE; winning new business and commercial opportunities whilst promoting and preserving ONE’s stellar reputation within the industries it operates in.
8. Thought leadership– Develop a second-to-none understanding of our industries, jurisdictions, and customers, in order to best inform our Marketing and Product teams to support the Group’s future expansion.
