Partnerships Manager

Trainee FX & Business Development Executive

Elev8 Group | London | Full-time | On-site Start Your Career in FX & Business Development

Elev8 Group is looking for ambitious individuals who want to start a career in foreign exchange, financial services and business development
.

This is an entry-level position designed for graduates, school leavers and individuals at the beginning of their careers.

You do not need previous experience in FX or financial services.

We’re looking for people with the right attitude, ambition and willingness to learn. We’ll provide the training, support and industry knowledge to help you develop from the ground up.

Elev8 Group is a fast-growing foreign exchange business helping UK companies manage international payments, currency risk and global growth.

We provide businesses with access to competitive FX rates, multi-currency accounts, international payment solutions, risk management and trade finance - combining strong financial infrastructure with a highly personal, relationship-led service.

Since launching in 2024, we've worked with 10
00+ corporate clients and exchanged more than £200 million
, and we're continuing to grow our team in London.

You’ll join our London team and begin with a strong focus on training and development
.

You’ll learn how the foreign exchange industry works, how businesses manage international payments and currency exposure, and how to develop relationships with companies that could benefit from Elev8's services.

As your knowledge and confidence develop, you’ll begin building your own pipeline of prospective clients and learning how to generate new business.

Your role will gradually involve:

• Learning the fundamentals of FX, international payments and financial markets
• Understanding how different businesses use foreign exchange
• Learning how to identify and research prospective corporate clients
• Developing your communication, sales and negotiation skills
• Speaking with business owners, directors, CFOs and finance teams
• Generating opportunities through telephone outreach, Linked In, networking and referrals
• Attending meetings, networking events and industry events
• Building your own professional network
• Developing relationships with accountants, advisers and other professional introducers
• Managing prospective clients through our CRM
• Working alongside our experienced team to onboard new corporate clients
• Ultimately developing and managing your own book of business

We don’t expect you to arrive knowing how to be an FX broker.

A major part of your first few months will be learning.

You’ll receive ongoing training covering areas such as:

• Foreign exchange and financial markets
• International payments
• FX risk management
• B2B sales and business development
• Prospecting and lead generation
• Communication and negotiation
• Presenting to businesses
• Relationship and account management

You’ll also learn directly from people already working with corporate clients and gradually take on more responsibility as you develop.

We’re much more interested in potential than previous experience
.

You might be finishing university, leaving school or college, or currently in your first job and looking for a career with greater progression.

You don’t need a particular degree or previous financial services experience.

We’re looking for people who are:

• Ambitious and want to build a successful career
• Confident communicators who enjoy speaking to people
• Competitive and motivated by targets and progression
• Resilient and comfortable with being challenged
• Curious and willing to learn
• Coach-able and open to feedback
• Proactive rather than waiting to be told what to do
• Interested in business, finance, markets or entrepreneurship

The aim isn’t for you to remain a trainee.

As you develop, you’ll have the opportunity to take greater responsibility for client relationships, build your own portfolio of corporate clients and progress into more senior business development, partnerships and account management positions
.

Performance and development matter more to us than how long you’ve been in the industry.

We want Elev8 to be…
