Job description

Astryd is a unified financial platform for independent businesses, restaurants, boutique fitness, retail, beauty, and service businesses. One login replaces POS, payment processing, payroll, and books.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced merchant-services or payments closer who knows how to read a processing statement, spot the markup, and get an owner to a decision. This is a field role i.e. you're in front of business owners, closing, not managing inbound leads from a desk.

Compensation

• $350 per approved, activated account, paid on close
• 50% residual split on net transaction revenue, for the life of the account
• Equity grant, standard 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff
• No cap on earnings, no territory restriction within NYC
• 100% commission, built for producers already comfortable without a base. If you need a salary floor to perform, this isn't the right fit.

What Sets This Apart

• Platform pitch, not just a rate, POS, processing, payroll, and books in one system
• Founding cohort subscription pricing locked at $250/mo permanently — a real scarcity hook

What You'll Do

• Prospect and close independent operators across NYC
• Present the interchange teardown and consolidation case directly
• Manage your own pipeline — no micromanagement
• Minimum 8–10 approved accounts/month

Requirements

• 1+ years merchant services / payments / POS / B2B field sales
• Proven success on 100% commission, not transitioning from a base+commission role
• Comfortable with in-person NYC field sales
• Existing network of business owners a strong plus
