About Lorum

The structural conflict at the centre of correspondent banking is not technological. It is economic. Banks earn revenue from their balance sheets: they lend deposits, capture FX spreads, and hold funds as long as it is rational to do so. Clearing, the act of releasing funds quickly and predictably, competes directly with those economics. An institution designed to lend has a structural incentive to hold deposits; an institution designed to clear has an incentive to release them. When one institution does both, clearing loses. The result is unpredictable settlement, trapped capital, and a correspondent network shrinking by design.

Why Lorum

Lorum was founded on a different premise: clearing as the business, not a byproduct. The model has been operational since 2023 and grew 55x in 2025, with USD clearing now the majority of volumes alongside a growing treasury offering. We have applied for a U.S. national trust bank charter. The people we hire now will build the clearing and treasury infrastructure it unlocks.

Role Purpose

You will join a fast-growing commercial team focused on creating a qualified pipeline for Lorum's Enterprise Account Executives. You will identify, engage and qualify prospective clients across payments, banking, digital assets and treasury, helping build relationships with some of the world's leading financial institutions and fintech companies.

This role is designed for ambitious early-career sales professionals looking to accelerate their progression into enterprise sales while developing deep expertise in global payments, clearing, FX and transaction banking.

In addition to outbound prospecting, you will have the opportunity to attend leading industry conferences, networking events and client meetings globally, generating opportunities and building relationships across the international payments ecosystem.
