• Negotiate commercial agreements that establish strong, long-term partnerships and create sustainable value for both the company and our merchant partners.
• Partner closely with Operations, Account Management, Marketing, Product, Legal, and other cross-functional teams to ensure a seamless onboarding experience and successful merchant launches.
• Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and forecast while consistently achieving or exceeding monthly and quarterly business goals.
• Share customer insights, market trends, and competitive intelligence to help inform the company’s retail growth strategy and identify new partnership opportunities.
