Job Description

As a Business Development Manager for the UK Mid-market at Ant International's Antom division, you will be instrumental in expanding the company's reach within the UK.

• Proven experience in business development, sales, or account management, preferably within the FinTech or payment processing industry.
• Strong understanding of the UK mid-market landscape and merchant needs.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a dynamic international team.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and achieving sales targets.

How to Prepare

Ensure your CV is polished to a UK standard, clearly outlining your achievements with quantifiable results, and tailor your LinkedIn profile to reflect expertise relevant to business development in a global tech environment.
