Vice President of Sales / Chief Commercial Officer - UK

Wagestream is on a mission to bring better financial wellbeing to frontline workers.

At Wagestream, we’re on a mission to bring financial freedom to frontline workers—empowering them with fairer, more flexible financial services. We partner with some of the world’s most recognised employers—Bupa, Burger King, Greene King, and the mighty NHS—giving over 3 million employees control over their earnings, budgeting tools, savings options, and even free financial coaching. All in one financial wellbeing super-app.

Wagestream is unique: VC-backed and growing at scale-up pace, but with a social conscience. Some of the world's leading financial charities and impact funds were our founding investors, and we operate on a social charter - which means every product we build has to improve financial health and reduce the $5.6bn ‘premium’ lower-income earners pay for financial services each year.

You’d be joining a team of over 200 passionate, ambitious people, across Europe and the USA, building a category-leading fintech product and all united by that same mission.

The Opportunity:

We’re growing fast, and the sales team is at the heart of that growth. This is your chance to join the world’s only charity-backed fintech, evolving into a full-fledged neobank. As a commercial leader, you’ll drive strategic sales efforts, helping more frontline workers access financial stability while shaping the future of how people get paid.

• Lead and motivate a high-performing sales team, driving client acquisition and expanding market share.
• Set and execute sales strategy, ensuring alignment with Wagestream’s mission and business goals.
