Job Description
The Opportunity
Our client is looking for ambitious individuals to join them as they scale from an already-fast-growing independent to one of the leading names in FX. Based in Canary Wharf, this is a business that's grown 30% year-on-year since 2017 and they're not slowing down.
They're privately owned, founder-led, and built by people who still get on the phone with clients. No corporate red tape, no committee decisions just a fast-paced desk with real ownership on the table for people who want to get stuck in.
Who are they?
An independently owned FX company specialising in tailored currency hedging, doing £1.6 billion in annual FX flow with a current EBITDA valuation of £25–30 million. Founder led who has no plans to sell and no interest in slowing the growth down.

- Real clients, real volume. Around 60 leads a month and 8 verified meetings, working with clients exchanging over £2k a month.
- Client retention here runs at 70%, so you're not just closing and moving on you're building relationships that stick.
