    JOB  DETAILS

    This role works alongside our sales team and reports directly to the COO, with a focus on mid-market fintech businesses spanning payments, lending, BNPL, neobanks, wealthtech, regtech, and embedded finance.

    Key Responsibilities:

    Pipeline Generation & Business Development

    · Build and execute a vertical strategy for fintech across ANZ, targeting mid-market businesses (20–250 staff) in payments, lending, BNPL, neobanks, digital banks, wealthtech, regtech, insurtech, and embedded finance

    · Generate qualified pipeline through a balanced mix of outbound prospecting, account-based marketing, industry events (Intersekt, FinTech Australia events, AFR Banking Summit, RFI events), partner ecosystems, and warm referrals

    · Personally cold-source pipeline and carry an individual new-logo target

    Sales Process & Deal Management

    · Run a disciplined, multi-threaded sales process from first conversation through to signed Statement of Work, typically 6–12 weeks for initial engagements with land-and-expand potential

    · Qualify hard, walk away from poor-fit opportunities, and focus energy on deals that will actually close

    · Maintain clean, accurate forecasting in HubSpot to contribute to a predictable revenue engine

    Client Engagement & Solutions

    · Partner with Solution Architects and Delivery Leads to scope proposals, build commercials, and pitch tailored solutions that win on value, not price

    · Represent Adaca at industry events, on panels, and across content, building a personal brand as a trusted advisor in fintech technology and engineering services

    Market Intelligence & Strategy

    · Feed market intelligence back into marketing, product, and partnership strategies, helping shape offerings taken to the fintech market over the next 12–24 months

    Qualifications:

    Essential

    · An existing network of senior engineering, product, data, and operations contacts across ANZ fintech businesses – this matters more than a large generic network

    · A background selling into or working the fintech or broader financial services sector as a hunter; strongest fits include:

    o Fintech and financial services tech recruiters (360-desk, not pure candidate-side)

    o Payment processor and card scheme BDMs

    o Core banking and BaaS platform BDMs

    o Regtech, KYC, and identity vendor BDMs

    · Genuine hunter profile: personally cold-sourced pipeline and carried an individual new-business number, not inherited a patch or farmed existing accounts

    · 5+ years of consultative B2B sales experience

    · Strong commercial instincts with the ability to qualify opportunities and focus on deals that will close

    · Excellent written communication: proposals, executive summaries, and follow-ups that demonstrate a clear understanding of client needs

    Highly Regarded

    · Experience selling onshore-offshore or blended delivery models

    · Background in fintech product, payments, lending operations, or financial services policy earlier in career
