Hi there! Thanks for stopping by

You’ll be part of an evolving and disruptive company that is changing the way that business owners and their customers engage with each other in Hospitality.

What you’ll be doing:

Strategic Prospecting & Pipeline Growth

• Drive Market Expansion: Proactively identify and engage high-potential hospitality venues across the NOAM market to position Lightspeed as the premier POS and Payments solution.

• Execute Multi‑Channel Outreach: Build a robust, self‑sustained pipeline through a high‑volume, strategic mix of cold calling, personalised emailing, and social selling.

Consultative Selling & Demonstrations

• Deliver High‑Impact Solutions: Lead tailored one‑on‑one or group demonstrations (via screen‑share) that map Lightspeed’s features to the specific operational pains of the hospitality sector.

• Architect Ecosystems: Act as a trusted advisor by understanding third‑party integrations (e.g., Deputy, Xero, SevenRooms) to provide venues with a holistic, "all‑in‑one" technology stack.

• Financial Fluency: Confidently navigate pricing negotiations and the value‑add of integrated payments, working closely with management to secure "win‑win" commercial terms.

Performance & Operational Excellence

• Surpass Targets: Maintain a relentless focus on hitting and exceeding monthly and quarterly revenue & new business location quotas.

• CRM Discipline: Uphold impeccable Salesforce hygiene, ensuring all lead data, activities, and opportunity stages are accurate for precise executive forecasting.

• Adhere to SLAs: Consistently meet or exceed Service Level Agreements regarding lead response times, business qualification criteria, and deployment timelines.

Team Collaboration & Values

• You’ve been a top performer before and can clearly speak to the results behind it

• You’re comfortable being challenged on your deals and can clearly defend your forecast

• You’re motivated to grow your career at Lightspeed Commerce and be part of a high‑performance team
