ABOUT THE ROLE You will own a book of Singapore-based wholesale, trading and manufacturing clients — importers, exporters, distributors and B2B manufacturers who move goods and money across borders every week. Founder-led and finance-led businesses with real operational complexity: high-frequency supplier payments across multiple currencies, tight cashflow timelines, and periodic compliance reviews. Your job is to grow gross profit on that book — defending and expanding FX and Global Accounts volume, finding cross-sell beyond the core money-movement products, and being the person the client calls when something is stuck.

When a TM RFI, KYC refresh or payment investigation hits, you gather facts, set expectations, drive internal teams to resolution, and keep the relationship intact. - Build real relationships with founders, MDs and finance heads — many of whom prefer to do business in Mandarin, in person, over a…
