Flex Finance is looking for a smart, driven, and curious Business Development Executive (BDE) to help grow our customer base by identifying, engaging, and qualifying high-potential businesses. You’ll be the first human touchpoint in our sales pipeline, turning cold outreach into qualified meetings that drive revenue.
This is a great fit for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys the challenge of outbound prospecting, and wants to grow into a full-cycle sales role within a leading African fintech.
What You’ll Be Doing
Prospect Intelligently: Identify and research key decision-makers (Finance, Ops, Procurement) in target industries.
Outreach That Converts: Drive high-volume cold outreach daily via calls, emails, LinkedIn, and referrals.
Qualify Leads: Ask the right questions, uncover needs, and assess fit for our spend management platform.
Book Meetings: Schedule discovery calls with businesses that match our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
Track Religiously: Keep Pipedrive CRM updated with lead status, activities, and notes.
Be the Face of Flex: Represent our brand with confidence, curiosity, and professionalism.
You’re a Fit If You Have:
3–5 years in BDE, inside sales, or customer-facing roles (preferably in B2B fintech or SaaS).
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Grit and persistence—you’re energized by outreach and unbothered by rejection.
