Business Development Manager

FinSet connects high-risk merchants with the payment and banking infrastructure they often struggle to access on their own. We work with prop trading firms, forex and CFD brokers, iGaming operators, and other high-risk businesses, matching them with the right acquirers, PSPs, and banking partners, and handling the operational work behind onboarding, compliance, corporate structuring, and licensing. We're not introducers who make an introduction and step away. We're hands-on operators who stay involved from the first conversation through onboarding and live processing.
We're hiring a Senior Business Development Manager to turn qualified opportunities into signed, live merchants. You'll take over from our SDRs once a lead is qualified, run the commercial conversation from discovery to close, and build long-term relationships with our merchants and with the referral partners who send business our way. This is a fully remote role, with a preference for candidates based in Dubai.
