The Role

Reporting into senior management, the Business Development Manager will be responsible for executing the company's growth strategy across assigned regions (Asia, MENA and/or Africa).

• Build and manage a high-performing acquisition funnel — sourcing, onboarding and managing IBs, affiliates and regional partners
• Drive client acquisition and retention strategies, working closely with the partner network to maximise trading volumes and revenue
• Ensure operations within each market comply with local legal and regulatory frameworks, liaising with authorities and maintaining licensing requirements where applicable
• Collaborate with the marketing team to create and execute localised campaigns that align with the brand and attract active traders
• Coordinate with global teams across compliance, finance, IT and customer service to streamline regional operations
• Analyse market trends, track KPIs and provide regular performance reports to senior management

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years' experience in business development, sales or partnership management within the Forex/CFD brokerage industry
• In-depth understanding of the Forex/CFD market landscape, competitive dynamics and client acquisition strategies across Asia, MENA or Africa
• Established relationships with IBs, affiliates, traders and/or financial institutions in the target region(s)
• Proven track record in sales target achievement and partner/account management
• Familiarity with Forex trading platforms (MT4/MT5) and digital marketing strategies for trader acquisition
• Fluent English (written and spoken); additional regional languages are a strong advantage
• Results-driven mindset with strong communication, strategic thinking and organisational skills

Who You Are

• You thrive in a fast-paced, target-driven environment and take ownership of outcomes
• You are a strategic thinker with a hands-on approach — equally comfortable building a regional plan and executing it on the ground
• You are passionate about leveraging technology and data to optimise partner performance and operational efficiency
• You have an entrepreneurial mindset with a focus on scalability and growth

What's On Offer

• Base salary: €3,000 – €6,000 gross monthly (€36,000 – €72,000 p.a.) depending on experience, plus performance-based commission
• Onsite role in Limassol with hybrid flexibility (2 days WFH) available upon successful performance
• Career growth: continuous development and regular performance reviews
