About the team

Wise Business has historically grown through self-serve and product-led channels. We’re now building a dedicated velocity sales team to help larger businesses discover, adopt, and fully activate on Wise for their international payment and banking needs. This team works inbound leads across multiple channels - sales forms, onboarding activation, sign-up recovery, events, and partnerships - and is responsible for the full cycle from qualification through to first live transaction.

What you’ll do

As the Sales Team Lead, you’ll manage and develop a team of Account Executives. You have a target, but won’t carry a personal quota. Your job is to make your reps better through inspiring high standards, inspecting pipeline and performance, and coaching each individual to close their skill gaps. You’ll be accountable for your team’s revenue delivery, activation rates, and development.

Some of your responsibilities:

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Account Executives, with a strong focus on activation-led revenue delivery, measuring success by transacting customers, not sign-ups

• Set the standard for your team - create an environment where reps are motivated, accountable, and continuously improving

• Own the 30/60/90-day onboarding for new hires, ensuring reps are ramped and selling independently by month three. You’ll work closely with our Sales Enablement lead. 

• Build and maintain individual development plans for each rep, tracking progression across qualification, discovery, objection handling, and activation

• Run weekly pipeline reviews, holding reps accountable on deal quality, stage accuracy, next steps, and forecast reliability

• Run targeted role-plays and live call coaching to address skill gaps as they emerge

• Monitor lead-to-close conversion, activation rates, and revenue per deal across all channels

• Ensure CRM hygiene. Every opportunity in Salesforce should reflect reality with clear qualification and accurate forecasting

• Identify underperformance early and address it directly with structured improvement plans

• Contribute to playbook iteration based on patterns from calls, data, and frontline feedback

• Partner with the Sales Director on hiring, target setting, and team structure as the organisation scales

Minimum qualifications

• 5+ years in a B2B sales role, with at least 2 years managing or coaching a sales team

• A genuine track record of developing people. You can point to reps you’ve hired, coached, and helped grow

• Experience running structured pipeline reviews and holding a team accountable to targets

• Comfortable with CRM tools (Salesforce preferred) and using data to inform coaching decisions

• Strong communication. You can deliver tough feedback with care, and rally a team when it matters

• You see management as a craft, not a promotion. Your job is developing others, not managing from a spreadsheet

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in fintech, payments, FX, SaaS, or financial services

• Familiarity with consultative or solution-based selling frameworks

• Experience building sales processes or teams from an early stage

• Exposure to multi-channel inbound sales motions

• Demonstrated ability to improve ramp time, conversion rates, and rep retention

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders  — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.

Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
