The industry

Alpha FX are a foreign exchange company - do you know what Foreign Exchange is?
It's the transfer of money from different countries. So in short terms, it would be like going
on holiday and exchanging pounds for euros but on a much larger scale and with corporate
businesses instead of individuals like you or me. In order for these corporate businesses to make the most money possible, Alpha FX analyse the market to work out how much money they should send and at what time they should
send as this could have big effects on profit made. Alpha FX come up with strategies on how to minimise the risk of sending these large amounts of money in order to make the most profit possible for the businesses, and take a
percentage of this transaction - this is where their profit comes from. Foreign Exchange is
such a volatile market because things change all the time.

The background

Alpha FX was set up by a guy called Morgane Tillbrook in 2009. Morgane is a very successful
entrepreneur and became a multi-millionaire in his late 20s by building a tech platform and
selling it to Sky. Morgane had no experience within the FX industry which is why he's so
passionate about employing people from all sorts of backgrounds. Morgane got into FE because of two reasons. 1. The industry will be around forever and 2. The industry really needed disrupting. They differ from your typical Foreign Exchange company because of their long-term partnerships with clients. Typically, banks like Western Union and Money Corp have models where they just want to get any business they can, and it's only about the number of businesses they bring in. Alpha FX focuses more on their clients and choose to only work with corporate businesses who are trading with companies over between £30-300 million. They have a more strategic and consultative approach, essentially selling the best of the best.

Where they are now

Alpha FX have grown massively - when we first started working with them, they were only 15 people working in Windsor. Fast forward 5 years and they've now got 120 people with offices in London, Canada and Amsterdam. Their office is based in Paddington and is very cool - has a bar, gym, PT, barbers, TV rooms etc. I'll send you a video with the job spec. A real turning point for Alpha FX was in 2017 when they chose to IPO the business and float on the London Stock Exchange. They didn't need the IPO, they had enough money in the bank, but they wanted to be the best name in FE and to get some amazing names on board to show they really mean business. 60% of their equity is held by employers and 40% is held by top investors like JP Morgan. They were also named the most successful company to IPO in 2017.

The role

Portfolio Manager - this is a 360 role where you'll be closing business and managing a portfolio of clients. This role includes the whole sales cycle from finding the lead, closing the lead and managing the account. To start with you'll be working with a mentor to help in your development and further down the line you'll have an analyst working under you to help.

Your job is to essentially sell into CFO's. or business owners who deal internationally.

Basic salary

£30-50K OTE £75-80K

2nd year expected OTE of £124K

3rd year expected OTE of £204K

Portfolio Manager

About us
We are Alpha FX - an award-winning financial services firm, providing FX hedging solutions to medium and large businesses internationally.

Since our inception in 2009, our business has grown 50% year-on-year working in a mature and highly competitive industry. Today, we're a team of 100, transacting billions and in April 2017 listed on the London Stock Exchange. Throughout our journey, there's one thing that has consistently set us apart - our people.

We're passionate about providing talented individuals with life-changing career opportunities and giving them the tools and support they need to fully take advantage of them. 60% of our team are Partners and we're committed to making new shareholders each year. This continues to be possible because, despite being a mature, profitable and high growth business, we've never stopped acting like a start-up.

The Opportunity

We are seeking ambitious individuals who are dedicated to changing their lives over the next few years, by working in a challenging but highly rewarding sales role. This is an opportunity for a self-starter - someone with big ambitions, but also the urgency and resilience to achieve them. Effort and potential are more important to us than experience, so if you're committed, we'll take care of the rest.

The role is a hybrid position of business development and account management - you will be responsible for building a portfolio of high-value corporate clients from the ground-up. This begins with sourcing and engaging c-suite decision-makers of medium to large businesses.

For each new sales opportunity you initiate, you'll have the choice of six mentors to support you through the process, enabling you to learn from the people you work best with and putting you in control of your development. These are people who know first-hand what it takes to be successful in the role - partners who have grown their own seven-figure portfolios. They will help you learn the business, your clientele and a range of strategies to add value to them. As you develop, your portfolio will continue to grow, and naturally, your position will move further into a blend of account management and business development.

Our team likens the role to growing their own business within a business, and this comes with all the accountability, demands and rewards you would expect. Commissions are uncapped, residual and received on every pound your portfolio makes.

As well as the support from your mentors, you will also have Alpha's award-winning technology, resources and approach at your disposal.

What I'll be doing

• Researching and qualifying potential clients to build a database of leads. You will own the telephone - using it to engage and consult with C-level executives of medium-large businesses (£30m - £300m) across a diverse range of sectors. Cold calling will be your primary and preferred method of engaging opportunities.
• You will learn your clients' businesses and work to explore and uncover key problems and challenges, whilst educating them on how Alpha's solutions can solve them.
• You will work closely with analysts and strategists to build and present valuable risk management solutions to clients - in time learning how to develop these solutions yourself.
• You will develop trusted relationships with your existing portfolio of clients to retain their business and grow your portfolio.
• In time, you will learn how to deal independently for your portfolio of clients on the largest traded market in the world.

About you

Urgency - You've reached a stage in your life where you have a genuine reason to succeed and are prepared to commit fully to realise this. Alpha provides a rare opportunity to significantly change your life, but you have to accept that this also requires hard work and sacrifice. Nothing worth having comes easy!

Communication - Whilst sales experience isn't a prerequisite, the ability to engage people and communicate effectively is essential. You'll be working with C-level decision makers, so being able to get your point across concisely, with charisma, credibility and confidence is a must. You will also be a natural listener who can ask the right questions to uncover the right needs. This means bringing a genuine sense of curiosity to every encounter and caring about the value you provide.

Humility - There is no room for egos at Alpha. Everyone can learn something from someone and you need to embrace feedback. Nobody is the finished article and we look for 'learn-it-alls' not 'know-it-alls'.

Team Player - A career at Alpha is a lot of fun, but it's also hard work and that is why being surrounded by a like-minded group of individuals that support one another and enjoy each other's company is paramount. There is real community at Alpha, and being part of a shared vision and progressing together on this journey is what makes the job worthwhile.

Momentum - To put it bluntly, you get shit done and are accountable for making things happen. If we don't do it, someone else will and that's when we get left behind.

What we offer in return

• Outstanding earning potential, with uncapped and residual commissions
• Life-changing equity opportunities
• Legendary corporate trips abroad
• Uncapped and residual commissions received on every pound of revenue
• Legendary corporate trips abroad to Las Vegas and Val D'Isere
• Quarterly celebrations
• Attractive share equity programme for team players that perform
