Job description

At Centrapay, we're on a mission to democratise payments. Outdated card technology leaves merchants paying high fees, gives consumers limited choice, and keeps traditional money and new digital value in separate worlds. We're changing that by building a universal acceptance layer that lets any modern digital wallet or asset transact at any connected point of sale.

Our vision is simple: moving value should be as easy and efficient as sharing information. As commerce shifts towards digital assets and mobile-first experiences, we're building the foundation for what comes next.

Join us in building the future of commerce.

About The Role

Do you get a buzz from taking a deal from "yes in principle" to live and transacting, fast? Centrapay / Payap is scaling wallet acceptance across New Zealand and beyond, and we need a deal-closer to win new program partnerships and get them live.

This is a sales role with real ownership. You'll bring in partnerships of your own, land the deals our Head of Program Sales opens, and see every one through to go-live.

What You’ll Do

• Win new program partnerships with international and domestic wallets, fintechs and financial institutions.
• Drive rapid onboarding of wallet partners onto Payap's QR acceptance.
• Own deals end-to-end: pricing, legal, technical integration, compliance and go-live.
• Spot and clear blockers before they stall a deal or put a partner relationship at risk.
• Keep partner integrations healthy and active after go-live.
• Support with research, partner outreach and deal work as that strategy progresses.
• Keep the pipeline current and report weekly on deal status, blockers and milestones.

Requirements

Who we're looking for

• A track record of closing commercial deals and delivering against targets in partnerships, business development or sales, ideally in payments or fintech.
• Comfortable owning commercial deals end-to-end: pricing conversations, legal review coordination and technical onboarding.
• A bias to speed: you find what's blocking a deal and push it to close without waiting to be told.
• Strong organisation across many concurrent deals at different stages.
• Clear, confident communication with partners and internal legal and technical teams.
• Experience with international partners or cross-border deals is a bonus, but not essential.
• Willingness to travel to meet partners.
• You'll be based in Auckland or Wellington with a full New Zealand driving licence.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a fast-growing fintech shaping the future of payments
• Work with a team that values innovation, collaboration and ambition
• Competitive compensation, growth opportunities, and a chance to make a real impact

Benefits

We look after our people at Centrapay - a key focus is our culture and ensuring we create a positive and healthy work environment. We continuously look at ways to make improvements and regularly ask for employee feedback and input.
