About the Role 

The Sales and Market Development Lead will spearhead Datapay’s sales and market expansion in a high-potential landscape, driving growth by expanding our reach across enterprise, public sector, and mid-market segments while weaving together the strengths of the New Zealand Datapay structure and the broader Datacom community.

The role offers the chance to influence Datapay’s trajectory through close collaboration with product, customer success, and risk/compliance teams, and to lead the market with our AI enabled SAAS Payroll solution.
