About the Job
We are seeking a highly motivated and strategically-minded Account Manager to own and grow our regional/global enterprise portfolio. This position is dedicated to our most complex and high-value enterprise clients — primarily cross-border e-commerce leaders, global SaaS platforms, and large-scale financial institutions. You will not just manage accounts, you will architect growth.
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of B2B account management or strategic sales experience in financial services, fintech, or payments.
- Proven track record of consistently growing revenue within large, complex enterprise accounts. Experience managing global accounts is a strong plus.
- You understand the needs of international cross-border merchants, and the cultural nuances of doing businesses in APAC markets. Familiarity with the APAC region is essential.
- Core Competencies:
- Builder & Founder-Like Mentality: You thrive in “zero-to-one” environments. You are hands-on, take full ownership, and are relentless in removing blockers for your clients and your team.
- Exceptional Communicator: You can persuasively present to a boardroom, and collaborate effectively with internal teams.
- Data-Led & Analytical: You make decisions based on data, not gut feel. You can analyze transaction patterns to identify risk and untapped potential.
- Attributes We Value:
- Hustle with Integrity: You move fast, but you build trust through transparency and reliability.
- Curiosity: You constantly ask “why” and dig deep to understand the root problem, not just the surface request.
- Resilience: You are undeterred by long sales cycles and complex procurement processes.
