We are looking for a Senior Sales Manager to join our Silverflow team!

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially driven individual eager to shape growth in the payments space and contribute to the expansion of a fast-growth scale-up.

We’re looking for a strategic sales leader to drive our next phase of explosive growth. In this role, you won't just pitch a platform. You will consult with mid-sized innovators to the largest enterprise retail brands, PSPs, Payfacs, and acquirers worldwide to transform their payment technology infrastructure.

If you thrive on closing complex, high-impact enterprise tech deals, leveraging deep industry networks, and shaping the commercial direction of a fast-growth scale-up, this is your launchpad.

What you'll do

You’ll be responsible for shaping our commercial experience by:

Drive Revenue & Expand Footprint: Own and execute end-to-end sales strategies to scale Silverflow’s presence across target segments—from mid-market disruptors to global enterprise powerhouses (Payfacs, PSPs, Acquiring banks, and Global Commerce platform).

Execute Consultative Sales Cycles: Partner with senior leadership and marketing to run sophisticated, full-cycle consultative sales processes from initial prospect to signed deal.

Build & Prospect Strategic Pipelines: Proactively identify, target, and convert opportunities through direct outreach, strategic partnerships, and major international industry events/conferences.

Forge High-Trust Relationships: Build long-lasting, trust-based relationships with stakeholders, driving maximum customer satisfaction and long-term lifetime value.

Be the Voice of the Customer: Act as a critical bridge between the market and our product/engineering teams, feeding real-time customer insights back to shape our roadmap.

Collaborate Across Departments: Work cross-functionally with marketing, legal, and operational teams to optimize sales development, craft custom proposals, and negotiate contracts alongside legal counsel.

Maintain Sales Rigor: Keep accurate pipeline metrics and activity reporting in our in-house CRM to continuously optimize sales performance and conversion rates

Seamless Account Handoffs: Ensure flawless transitions of won accounts to our Account Management team to set clients up for immediate, scalable success.

Who you are

You are a driven and hands-on dealmaker, connected networker and fluent communicator who has:

10+ years of successful B2B consultative sales experience, within the payments ecosystem, fintech, or complex enterprise tech.

A strong existing network of relationships across acquirers, banks, Payfacs, PSPs, and global platform commerce leaders.

Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills in English, with the ability to influence and build trust with globally diverse executive teams.

A ‘Getting Stuff Done’ mindset, with a strong track record of project execution, prioritizing effectively, and over-delivering in a fast-paced scale-up environment.

Education & Mobility: Holds a Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Business, Marketing, or a related field, and is ready for international travel to meet clients and attend key events.

Netherlands-Based: Based in the Netherlands and excited to work in our collaborative, office-first environment.

A fun and people-first culture: Be part of a vibrant, diverse team representing 30+ nationalities. Enjoy a daily team lunch, competitive padel tournaments, and memorable annual events like our Holiday Party, company birthday celebrations, and off-site trip. We believe great work happens when people also have fun together.

Learn from the best: Work alongside highly experienced colleagues with deep knowledge across disciplines. There’s a lot of expertise in-house and endless prospects to learn, grow, and challenge yourself.

Room to shape your career: With strong growth ambitions, Silverflow offers plenty of opportunities to develop your career and grow alongside the company.

Strong mentorship & collaboration: We are a flat organization. You’ll work closely with the leadership team and experienced mentors, receiving hands-on guidance from people who genuinely care about your growth and development.

Fast-paced, friendly, and collaborative environment: Join a team that values new ideas and initiative, and doing things the right way, while moving fast and supporting each other along the way.
