About Flagright: Flagright is an AI operating system for financial crime compliance used globally by Fortune 500 companies, large banks, fintechs, and fast growing startups. Flagright enables real-time risk detection, automated investigations, and intelligent decisioning, helping compliance teams operate at their full potential in the fight against financial crime. We operate as a lean, high-performance team with high individual ownership and direct access to leadership. Role overview: Our Sales team drives customer growth globally.

We are hiring a Senior Business Development Representative in London to help scale Flagright’s presence across EMEA. This is a high-ownership individual contributor role focused on generating outbound pipeline opportunities. You’ll generate pipeline for Europe and the Middle East by identifying and engaging decision-makers at fintechs and banks.

You will operate with autonomy in a fast-moving environment, build pipeline proactively, and be required to travel to represent Flagright at customer meetings and industry events across EMEA. People who thrive at Flagright:
- Have been knocked down before and gotten back up
- Are resourceful — figure it out with whatever tools exist
- Have strong opinions, defend them, and drop them when proven wrong
- Would rather own targets than a task list

Key responsibilities:
- Generate high-quality pipeline through outbound prospecting (cold calls, email, LinkedIn, events) and book qualified meetings for the sales team
- Identify, research, and engage decision-makers across financial enterprises in EMEA
- Understand prospect needs and clearly articulate Flagright’s value proposition in a compelling, tailored way
- Build and manage a consistent pipeline of opportunities, ensuring strong coverage against quota
- Build and nurture relationships with prospects, progressing them into qualified, sales-ready opportunities
- Develop and execute highly personalized outreach strategies based on deep account research
- Maintain accurate CRM records and track outreach, pipeline, and performance metrics
- Collaborate closely with Account Executives to ensure smooth handoff and progression of deals
- Partner with the GTM team to refine messaging, campaigns, and outbound strategy
- Represent Flagright at industry events, conferences, and customer meetings across EMEA
Who we are looking for:
- 2+ years of B2B SaaS BDR experience
- Experience prospecting into or qualifying enterprise accounts (e.g., organizations with 1,000+ employees)
- Relevant industry knowledge in fintech, payments, banking, compliance, risk, or financial infrastructure, gained directly or through closely related roles
- Strong communicator — clear, concise, and confident
- Comfortable with cold outreach and high-volume prospecting and is not afraid of rejection
- Able to research accounts deeply and craft personalized, relevant outreach
- Organized and disciplined in managing pipeline, CRM hygiene, and follow-ups
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment with shifting priorities
- Able to learn quickly and articulate complex products
- Willing and able to travel up to 30% of the time
- Based in or near London
What we offer:
- One number, real ownership, no artificial segmentation
- Direct exposure to leadership and influence on our go-to-market strategy
- Well-defined career progression from junior to senior levels and into leadership for those who consistently deliver
- Product with clear, real-world differentiation
- High-bar environment focused on execution, learning, and continuous improvement
