Account Executive - Payments & Lending

About the Role

Want to own a vertical where compliance decides who gets to trade? Thrive in a fast-paced team without the red tape? Keen to be part of an Australian success story taking on a global category?

As an Account Executive, Payments & Lending at FrankieOne, you'll grow our presence across payment service providers, remittance and FX businesses, BNPL, and consumer and SME lenders throughout ANZ and APAC. For these businesses, identity, fraud, KYC and AML capabilities are the license to operate.

Reporting to the Sales Manager, you'll focus mostly on new business, running the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close. You'll also look after a small book of existing customers, finding ways to grow them in partnership with Customer Success.

You'll build relationships with commercial, risk and compliance stakeholders, position FrankieOne as the platform that runs financial crime end to end, and turn a well-qualified pipeline into predictable, growing revenue.

The Role

You're a driven, self-directed seller with a background in payments, lending, fintech or regtech. You understand how payments and lending businesses onboard customers, manage fraud and meet their AML/CTF obligations, and you can hold a credible conversation with a compliance lead as easily as with a commercial buyer. You know the Australian regulatory landscape and are keen to grow your knowledge of AU, NZ and APAC markets. You're energised by building pipeline from scratch and closing it.
