Business Development Representative

Description

Okoora is building its global sales organization from the ground up. We are a high-velocity fintech infrastructure company serving banks, PSPs, credit platforms, TravelTech companies, and ERP providers through our Embedded FX Infrastructure (FX360).

We’re looking for a Business Development Representative (BDR) who will operate as the driving force of our sales team — a proactive professional who identifies, develops, and qualifies opportunities, supporting the Sales Manager (Closer) throughout the entire sales cycle.

This is not a call-center or appointment-setting role. The BDR at Okoora is an active player in building strategic pipeline and revenue acceleration across defined verticals.
