Business Development Manager - Wealth Partnerships

Hi. We’re OFX, a global provider of online international payment and money management services. 

For more than 25 years, we’ve helped individuals and businesses move money globally with confidence. Today, we support clients across property purchases, overseas investments, pension transfers, inheritances, business payments and other complex cross-border needs. 

Within Australia, our Wealth Partnerships division works closely with financial advisers, wealth firms and private client professionals to support high-net-worth clients with large and often complex international transfer requirements. 

Our approach is relationship-led, education-focused and built around trust. We aim to become a long-term referral partner embedded within advice firms — helping advisers identify opportunities where OFX can deliver value to their clients. 

As the team grows, we are looking for a commercially minded Business Development Manager to help expand our adviser partnership network across Australia. 

Purpose of your role 

This is an acquisition-focused business development role responsible for growing OFX’s Wealth Partnerships network across Australia. 

You will proactively identify, engage and onboard financial advice firms, helping advisers understand where OFX delivers value for clients with cross-border financial needs. 

Success in the role comes from consistently generating new adviser relationships, expanding adviser awareness within firms and driving early-stage referral activity before transitioning active partners to the Account Management team. 

This is an opportunity to join and help shape a growing business segment with strong long-term potential.  You’ll work directly alongside experienced leadership within a highly relationship-driven and commercially strategic environment, with significant exposure to: 

• Wealth partnerships
