Enterprise Partnerships Lead

The Role

You will own enterprise merchant acquisition end-to-end: pitch, commercial negotiation, legal and procurement, and go-live. This is a closer's role, not a lead-generation role.

What You Will Do

Build and close the pipeline. Build and close a pipeline of large enterprise merchants across retail, utilities, fuel, and consumer categories.

Sell at the right level. Sell to CFO, CMO, Head of Loyalty, and Head of Payments, and map the full buying committee.

Negotiate commercial partnership agreements. Own the terms, pricing, and co-marketing commitments.

Build business cases. Show the merchant's revenue, customer acquisition cost, and working capital impact.

Run public-sector processes. Navigate PSU procurement, including empanelment, tenders, and committee approvals.

Coordinate internally. Work with our banking partners and tech team so that what you sell is deliverable.

Drive time-to-live. Push from signature to live integration.

Feed the product. Bring structured merchant feedback into the roadmap.

Must-Haves

7+ years of B2B enterprise sales or partnerships, with at least 4 years selling to large retailers, PSUs, or national brands.

A strong grasp of merchant economics, including MDR, settlement cycles, and promotional funding.
