Job description

The Merchant Acquisition Manager is responsible for acquiring large, strategic merchants for our Indonesian payment gateway across industries namely, financial services, transportation, education, e-commerce, marketplace, retail and tourism. The role requires the full end-to-end sales capacity as a hunter and a nurturing function — starting from seeking for new leads, approaching, prospecting and closing the deal with a creative deal origination through commercial negotiation, and handling the following paperwork inside the sales cycle — and is expected to navigate complex merchant organisations, build executive relationships mainly to Top Level officials, and consistently close large enterprise-scale deals in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:

• Pipeline Strategy: Build and execute a target pipeline list across the following industries (financial services, transportation, education, e-commerce, marketplace, retail and tourism — other industries may also be pursued) by prioritising large merchants with material payment volume and developing a tailored acquisition plan for each.
• Deal Origination: Creatively identify and open sales opportunities with large merchants through outbound prospecting, executive networking, industry events, partner referrals, and competitive displacement — not relying on inbound leads.
• Commercial Negotiation: Lead complex, multi-stakeholder commercial negotiations — pricing (MDR), commercial terms, SLAs, and contract structure — to close large-merchant deals preserving profitability and long-term value for the company.
• Stakeholder Navigation: Map and engage decision-makers and influencers across complex merchant organisations namely finance, product, technology, operations, and C-level to build consensus and drive deals to close.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, marketing, integration, and account management teams to scope solutions, address merchant requirements during the sales cycle, and ensure smooth handover post-signing.
• Executive Engagement: Build and maintain trusted relationships with C-levels and senior decision-makers at target merchants throughout the sales cycle, positioning the company as a strategic payments partner.
• Portfolio Diversification: Acquire new large merchants to diversify the company's merchant base and reduce dependency on current top merchants to below 40% of total payment volume, measured by signed merchants, processed payment volume, and net new revenue.

Qualifications:

• Educational Background: A bachelor's degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field is typically required. An MBA or advanced degree is a plus.
• Experience: Minimum 7+ years in B2B enterprise sales or merchant acquisition, with a demonstrable track record of closing large and complex deals in payments, fintech, banking, or SaaS sold to enterprises in Indonesia.
• Market & Industry Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Indonesian payments landscape and existing networks in at least two of the following verticals: fintech, financial services, transportation, education, or tourism.
• Technical Skills: Strong working knowledge of payment gateway products, payment methods used in Indonesia (QRIS, virtual accounts, e-wallets, cards), and the ability to discuss API-based integration approaches credibly with merchant technical teams.
• Location: Based in Jakarta with a hybrid working arrangement; willing and able to travel outside Jakarta when required for meetings.
• Language: Fluent in Bahasa Indonesia and English (spoken and written). Working proficiency in Mandarin (spoken and written) is a plus.
