December 2025

 

The Challenge

A global payments and banking solutions provider expanding in Larnaca needed a Sales Specialist to develop and manage B2B client portfolios across the Forex, iGaming, PSP, and E-Commerce sectors. The role required someone who could sell Payments, IBAN accounts, card issuing, and Banking-as-a-Service solutions to international clients.

The client needed a candidate with 3-5 years of fintech sales experience, understanding of payment flows and AML/KYC compliance, and an existing network within the target industries. EU citizenship was required as visa sponsorship wasn’t available.

 

The Search

We targeted sales professionals with direct B2B experience in payments, fintech, or financial services. The search focused on candidates who understood payment infrastructure, had established networks in relevant sectors, and could articulate complex product offerings to sophisticated clients.

We looked for commercially driven individuals who could work autonomously while representing the company at international conferences and events.

 

The Solution

We presented a sales professional with proven B2B experience in the payments space and strong relationships across the target sectors. They had a track record of building client portfolios, negotiating commercial terms, and closing deals with international clients.

Their understanding of payment flows, IBAN structures, and compliance requirements—combined with their commercial drive—made them an excellent match.

 

The Outcome

The hire has quickly established a pipeline of prospects and is actively building relationships across target markets.
