- Serve as a strategic advisor, understanding each client's cross-border payment needs and tailoring OpenFX's value proposition accordingly
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Legal & Compliance, and Marketing to navigate technical integrations and structure deals
- Work with leadership to refine sales strategy, messaging, and positioning as the go-to-market motion matures
