At Verto, we’re passionate about helping businesses in emerging markets reach the world. What first started life as an FX solution for trading specific currencies has now become a market-leading platform, changing the way thousands of businesses transfer money in and out of emerging markets.

We believe that where you do business shouldn’t determine how successful you are or your ability to scale. Millions of companies daily juggle long settlement periods, high transaction fees, and limited liquidity when trading with businesses in regions like Nigeria. We’re on a mission to change this by creating equal access to seamless payment and liquidity solutions that are already a given in developed markets.

We’re not alone in realising the opportunity and need to solve for emerging markets. We’re backed by world-class investors, including Y-Combinator, Quona, and MEVP, power payments for some of the most disruptive start-ups in the world, and have a list of accolades from leading publications, including being voted Fintech Start-Up of the Year at the Fintech Awards London 2022.

Each year we process billions of dollars in payments and provide companies with solutions that help them save money, automate processes, and grow—but we’re only just getting started.

In this role, you will be expected to achieve key milestones such as identifying and closing new business opportunities, building strong relationships with clients, and contributing to the success of our sales team.
