About Lorum
Global payments are not broken. Incentives are.
Clearing has been deprioritised inside balance sheet-driven institutions whose models rely on lending and interest. When liquidity takes priority over settlement, payments slow and certainty drops. The same financial institutions that distort clearing as providers are disadvantaged as users. They are forced into fragmented setups, inconsistent rails, duplicated compliance, and unpredictable timelines. Stablecoin shortcuts and treasury pooling treat symptoms at the surface, but almost no one is rebuilding the underlying infrastructure in each market.
Rebuilding clearing from the ground up
We are rebuilding clearing as its own specialist function. We act as a clearing and transaction banking partner for regulated institutions, with treasury built into the core so liquidity, settlement, and reconciliation sit in one controlled system.
Our platform unifies global and local licences, direct central bank clearing, and domestic rails. We allow clients to open named customer accounts in every market we operate, collecting funds and paying out through a single network while retaining full ownership of their customer relationships. Market expansion becomes as simple as one correspondent relationship, not hundreds.
Why Lorum
This is not a typical fintech sales role.
You'll be selling deep infrastructure to some of the most sophisticated buyers in financial services — regulated institutions where credibility, precision, and market knowledge matter more than a polished deck.
This is an opportunity to own a vertical from the ground up, work greenfield enterprise pipeline across EMEA, and have real agency over how Lorum sells in your market. If you've ever wanted to build something rather than inherit it, this is that role.
Role Purpose
You will join a fast-growing commercial team, owning the full sales cycle for mid-market and enterprise clients across cross-border payments and clearing.
You will self-source deals, work consultatively with sophisticated buyers, and shape how Lorum sells to a specialist audience — whether that's institutional crypto firms and digital asset infrastructure providers, PSPs and EMIs, banks and regulated FIs navigating multi-stakeholder procurement, or platforms such as OTAs, marketplaces, and payroll companies managing collections, supplier payouts, and multi-currency treasury.
