About this role

JustMarkets is expanding internationally and seeking a Regional Business Development Manager to lead this growth from South Africa. This role combines team leadership with strategic business development—you'll manage a Partner Relationship Managers team while developing country-specific strategies, overseeing budgets, and driving partnerships across regions. The position requires balancing operational oversight (recruitment, performance tracking, compliance) with forward-facing work (client relationships, market analysis, strategic initiatives).

You'll need proven experience scaling businesses and leading teams in high-growth environments, with a demonstrated ability to execute development strategies and interpret performance data. Strong knowledge of local regulations and industry standards is essential, as is fluency in Ukrainian or Russian alongside English. FinTech experience is valued but not required. The role suits someone comfortable with both people management and strategic execution, who can work across multiple departments and handle escalations at senior levels.

The package includes 15 vacation days, 10 sick days, 10 public holidays, plus budgets for medical care, professional development, language learning, and wellness. This is an in-office position based in South Africa.
