Business Development Manager (D One)

Business Development Manager (D•One)

This is a fantastic opportunity to join rapid scaling business with proven market fit.

Now is a critical time for the lending industry as credit providers seek means of navigating a complex and fast-moving economic backdrop. Open Banking holds the solutions to many of the resulting challenges and has therefore never been more relevant. We are looking for an experienced sales person to help take our unique services to market and deliver against this emerging opportunity.

What you will be doing:

• You have proven experience in the B2B world and a good understanding of Open Banking. You are analytically savvy and have a grasp of how credit decisioning works, such that you can competently liaise with lender stakeholders on a variety of levels, and can articulate the value of our product in solving for their needs. With help from our engineers, analysts, and data scientists, you’ll be writing decks, pitching our services to potential clients, and responding to RFPs.


• You will be incredibly organised in how you manage and measure your sales funnel and ruthlessly focused on delivering results. We want you to actively generate leads, and nurture and manage these leads through the sales funnel to drive conversion.


• With your commercial savviness, you’ll help drive negotiations hard, recognising that we have a premium product and that we need to get a fair return in order to hit our ambitious goals. You are ambitious and motivated by the opportunity to drive a business that is aiming for 2000% revenue growth over the next five years, and seek to participate in the rewards of that success.


• You will work in unison with other business development individuals and teams across the ClearScore Group to ensure a courteous and cohesive approach to prospecting, building strong relationships and teasing out potential broader opportunities along the way.

Skills we'd love you to have

• Proven experience in B2B sales roles


• An understanding of what Open Banking is and how it is relevant to lending


• An extensive network within the lending industry – personal loans and credit cards preferred


• Must be an excellent influencer with experience in working with senior stakeholders


• Excellent communication skills and confidence in presenting ideas to internal and external stakeholders
