Description

At Mesh ID we are about to rewrite the history books on how the fund management industry uses technology to empower their fund investors. By unlocking the power of our client onboarding platform, we reduce the workload of fund managers up to 90%.

About us
Mesh ID is an Amsterdam-based regulatory technology (‘RegTech’) scale-up with strong market traction and global ambitions and is currently trusted by some of the world’s largest and most recognizable brands in fund management, administration, and custodial banking. Along with our clients, governments and regulators trust our technology to enhance onboarding, increase data security, reduce operating costs, and mitigate risk. Our team has decades of industry knowledge within established companies and has the fast-paced energy of a start-up. We deliver results quickly and we are inviting you to come join us on our stellar growth journey.

Speeding up from years to seconds
Technology can now process 12,000 documents in seconds, which takes a human 360,000 hours (41 years). This is the type of efficiency that the global fund management industry is looking for, and what we are building will get them there. Innovation and automation offer enormous potential for improving quality of service, and the global fund industry is looking to move beyond traditional means of working.

Fixing our industry’s biggest problems
Mesh ID’s flagship Know Your Customer (KYC) onboarding and KYC sharing platform provides the answer to the ever-increasing regulatory pressure on financial institutions, and addresses the shortage of labour in the fund management industry. Our solutions relieve individuals, organizations, and regulators of menial and repetitive tasks through clever automation and verification of identity and address, risk screening, and secure sharing of pre-verified KYC information.

Mesh ID is transforming the last bastion of finance
In recent years most modern banks and trading platforms have embraced digital onboarding solutions, while the traditional fund management and professional services industries are among the last to embrace digitisation. Mesh ID is frontrunning this digital transformation as one of the first dedicated RegTech businesses in the fund management industry. Over the last years Mesh ID has quietly become a leader in its field, providing the easiest way for fund investors to digitise and securely manage their KYC information. Over the past months alone we signed on three of the world’s largest asset managers – and we are only getting started!

The fund industry’s digitisation has positioned Mesh ID for exponential growth
The sense of mission and adventure is greater than at a traditional organization, and your efforts are clearly and directly linked to the value and success of Mesh ID. The global fund management industry Mesh ID operates in provides tremendous revenue potential. The industry is longing for digital disruption, creating significant momentum for years of exponential growth.

We are looking for Amsterdam-based B2B sales superstars to expand our global footprint
From our Amsterdam office and remotely from our homes across The Netherlands, Mesh ID is steadily building a global network of A-list clients and strategic partnerships to drive sales. To cover the multiple jurisdictions in which we operate (Netherlands, UK, Ireland and Luxembourg) we are looking for technology-obsessed B2B SaaS sales superstars with grit. We are looking for people with a deep understanding of technology, financial services and ideally the fund management industry – or at least with the intellect and motivation to learn all about it. We are looking for confident, commercially savvy, and creative-thinking professionals who have the willingness and tenacity to keep going when faced with obstacles and will find a window when the door closes.

What you will need to do well

  • You are confident that you can handle an intellectually demanding sales process and navigate some degree of uncertainty while keeping yourself super motivated by constantly inventing, creating and moving toward shifting goals without a firmly established playbook.
  • As Business Developer, you will become a Mesh ID expert that is able to quickly identify and research prospects based on predetermined criteria, evaluate opportunities, and develop a strategic approach to generate their interest and win their business.
  • You will report to our Commercial Director and will be responsible for the entire sales process: from lead to contract, and right up to the successful onboarding of the client (done by our ops team)
  • You are target-driven and know how to take initiative, generate and follow-up on leads, and build customer pipelines by creating interest and developing conversations with contacts at fund managers, fund administrators, corporate law firms, and custodian banks. If you do not already have one, we expect you to develop your own network in the industry – and we are happy to guide you in this endeavour.
  • You will actively seek out and qualify new sales leads and business opportunities through active (digital and in-person) networking and sending personal, strategic, value-add emails, out-bound calls, and direct social-media messages.
  • You will be selling a compelling product with attractive unit economics: the ratio of net operational benefits to our clients for using Mesh ID is significant which makes this an attractive product to sell. The sales process usually starts online and often results in ‘in person’ meetings that may require some travel to our core markets (UK and Luxembourg).
  • You are the type of person that is always on the lookout to solve problems and create opportunities for yourself and others, making solutions more efficient and repeatable, and keep iterating from there. You are a positive and analytical individual that always finds or creates new ways around obstacles and finds opportunities to speed things up.
  • You are probably already thinking about how to position yourself so that we want to hire you 😊
