Senior Sales Executive (French Market)

Who we are

Monex Europe is a specialist in commercial foreign exchange and international payments, part of the global Monex Group, a financial institution founded in 1985. We help corporates and institutions manage FX exposure, execute hedging strategies and move money across borders.

In 2024 we facilitated $200 billion in FX turnover, managed $16.1 billion in assets and processed 1.7 million transactions for more than 73,000 clients worldwide. We operate across the Americas, Asia and Europe, with offices in Mexico, Madrid, Amsterdam, London, the USA, Canada and Singapore.

Spain is a growth market for us. In 2024 we established two dedicated Spanish entities - Monex Europa S.L. (payment institution) and Monex Europe Markets S.V., S.A.U. (investment firm) - consolidating our European operations and investing directly in the Madrid platform. This role sits at the centre of that

investment.
