Sales Development Manager (Inbound) | B2B Fintech

About Framnex

Framnex is building the infrastructure behind the next generation of fintech companies.

We provide white-label digital banking software, embedded financial infrastructure, licensing support, and payment rails that enable businesses to launch financial products in weeks instead of months.

Our customers are fintech startups, licensed financial institutions, and B2B companies expanding into financial services across Europe, MENA, Africa, and Asia.

We're growing quickly, and as our inbound pipeline continues to expand, we're looking for our first dedicated Sales Development Manager to become the front door of our sales organization.

The Role

This is not a traditional BDR role.

You won't spend your days cold-calling or booking meetings.

Instead, you'll become the first person our potential customers speak to. Your job is to understand their business, identify whether they're a good fit, qualify opportunities, and create an exceptional first experience with Framnex.

You'll work closely with our Founder and Senior Sales Manager, ensuring every qualified opportunity enters our sales process with the right context and next steps.

If you enjoy understanding how businesses work, asking thoughtful questions, and helping customers solve complex problems, this role is for you.

Your Mission

Turn inbound interest into qualified business opportunities.

By asking the right questions, understanding customer needs, and guiding prospects through the first stage of our sales journey, you'll help our sales team spend more time closing deals and less time qualifying opportunities.
