* A proven track record of consistently achieving high net deposit targets and successfully driving retail trader (B2C) acquisition.
* Must possess the legal right to work in Nigeria to support local market operations.
* Exceptional self-sufficiency with a "builder" mindset—comfortable operating as a solo contributor without local infrastructure.
* Strong proficiency in Business English with the ability to navigate complex commercial negotiations.
- **Preferred Requirements:**
* An existing, portable network of high-volume Introducing Brokers (IBs) within Nigeria or the wider West African region.

- **Competitive Rewards:** We offer a competitive base salary paired with an uncapped commission structure that directly rewards your performance.
- **AI-Powered Growth:** Join an organization that leverages cutting-edge AI tools to multiply your productivity and accelerate your career.
