The role

Fence is building the modern infrastructure for asset-backed finance.

We help asset originators and capital providers operate financing facilities through connected data, asset verification, ongoing monitoring, calculations, reporting and automated and instant cash-flow management.

Our platform brings these operational workflows together so investors can have maximum transparency and control without burdening asset originators. We provide the flexible, efficient and effective operating system of SPVs so capital, assets and information move instantly, 24/7.

What you'll do

You will build Fence's European commercial function, understanding originator and capital provider needs, originating your own opportunities initially and driving them through signature and onboarding launched by Operations.

  • Build and manage the Business Development team to ensure a healthy pipeline that fits the planned growth of the company.

  • Build and manage the Account Executive team to ensure we match clients' requirements and needs.

  • Turn stakeholder maps, deal diagnoses, proposals and handoffs into a commercial process your team can repeat.

  • Originate and own the largest relationships in our pipeline. Develop direct relationships with major capital providers and partners.

  • Run opportunity definition with originators and capital providers. Understand the transaction, investor concerns, data sources and dependencies, and where Fence can deliver value.

  • Own proposals, pricing, negotiation and signature of transactions.

  • Work with Product and Operations to meet client needs and requirements.

How you'll work

Location: London, initially remote, with travel mainly to conferences or Madrid, four days per week in the office, with greater availability to travel.

About Fence

Fence is a fintech company building the operating layer for real-time asset-backed finance. It acts as a real-time facility agency for capital providers and asset originators, unifying four agency functions — verification, calculation, cash management, and data analysis & portfolio aggregation — in a single platform that enforces facility rules continuously. The platform covers 15+ asset classes, from merchant cash advances to credit-card receivables, and supports multi-currency facility operations in USD, EUR, and GBP.

Fence operates as independent, asset-light infrastructure with no balance-sheet risk, emphasizing precision, transparency, and neutrality: assets are verified against independent sources before every drawdown, covenants are monitored 24/7, and every cash movement leaves an audit-ready trail. The company maintains ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 Type II audited security controls, and GDPR compliance for EU operations.
