About Us

• Drive full lifecycle adoption: Orchestrate your pod to ensure smooth onboarding, product adoption, and revenue expansion.
• Lead with influence: Be accountable for the metrics and Align pod members around ambitious commercial goals.

What you Bring

• 5+ years in B2B sales, partnerships, or growth (SaaS, fintech, or payments).
• Experience selling to or partnering with software companies/ISVs
• Strong mix of commercial skills and technical comfort.
• Ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
