The Role

As a Key Account Director for Defence, you will lead the charge in this high-stakes vertical, navigating C-suite relationships to deliver sophisticated treasury and hedging solutions.

Responsibilities:

  • Strategic Origination: Identify and onboard Tier-1 prospects within the Defence and Aerospace sectors.
  • Solution Architecting: Move beyond "spot trades." You will sell complex FX hedging strategies, cash management, and supplier payment financing solutions tailored to long-cycle defense contracts.
  • C-Suite Navigation: Build and leverage high-level relationships with CFOs, Treasurers, and Finance Directors, understanding their specific budgeting and risk appetite.
  • Sector Advocacy: Act as the internal "Defence Expert," providing feedback to Product teams to ensure Ebury’s roadmap remains the best-in-class for this sector.
  • Excellence in Execution: Maintain a rigorous pipeline via Salesforce, ensuring a culture of data-driven sales and superior relationship management.

  • Fast-Track Leadership: A clear growth pathway from individual contributor to a partner in the business.
  • Work from our flagship, modern office in London Victoria.

You... 

  • Understand Defense: You can speak the language of "fixed-price bids," "long-term procurement," and "sovereign risk."
  • Are a Master Negotiator: You thrive in high-value negotiations and can articulate complex financial concepts to diverse stakeholders.
  • Are a Culture Carrier: You lead by example, fostering a competitive yet collaborative environment on the sales floor.
  • Speak Fluent English (a second language is a bonus).
