  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver business results.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in Business Development, Enterprise Sales, or Strategic Partnerships.
  • Specific sales experience within the payments and cards (“plastic”) ecosystem — including banking and associated products — rather than financial products broadly.
  • Background in technology, fintech, payments, or related industries.
  • An established personal reputation in the market — a name that carries weight with senior decision-makers.
  • Strong hunter and farmer profile, with a track record of generating and growing revenue.
  • Excellent relationship-building and negotiation skills.
  • The seniority and network to engage directly with the leadership of a Enterprise-tier organization.

  • Comfortable managing multiple strategic clients simultaneously.
  • Exposure to AI and emerging technologies is a plus.
  • Willingness to travel as needed.

What We're Looking For

  • Sales-driven and growth-oriented.
  • Strong commercial ambition.
  • An industry insider who already speaks our language — high intelligence, energy, and persistence.
  • Humble, collaborative, and low-ego.
  • Excellent communicator and relationship builder.
  • Ability to scale business and create long-term value.
