About the role

About the Role
We are looking for a high-impact CVP Sales and Partnership professional to own and grow our Commercial Value Proposition pipeline.  The ideal candidate is an ex-Visa or Mastercard professional with strong existing connects within banking networks and card scheme organisations, ready to hunt aggressively and drive meaningful revenue.
What You'll Own

  • Drive end-to-end sales hunting across banks and merchant networks (Visa/Mastercard ecosystem)
  • Manage and grow relationships with key stakeholders across banking and payment networks
  • Handle operational management of accounts and sales processes
  • Lead category and product conversations with customers and internal teams


Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively hunt and acquire new business across banks and merchant networks
  • Build and manage senior stakeholder relationships within the Visa/Mastercard ecosystem
  • Manage the full sales cycle — from lead generation to deal closure
  • Collaborate with internal category and product teams to shape proposals
  • Ensure smooth operations management post-deal


Who We're Looking For
Must-Have:

  • 2-5 years of experience in sales, preferably in payments/fintech
  • Prior experience at Visa or Mastercard (strongly preferred) with existing connects in banking/merchant networks
  • Proven track record in B2B sales hunting and deal closure
  • Strong stakeholder management skills — comfortable engaging senior banking and network leaders
  • Customer-facing experience

Good to Have:

  • Exposure to category and product discussions in payments
  • Experience managing large pipeline values independently
  • Connects within large banks and card scheme organisations


Not a Fit If:

  • You are looking for a non-sales, relationship-management-only role
  • You are not comfortable with active outbound sales hunting
