Identify early signals of opportunity or risk in the banking and payments ecosystem.
cross-functional leadership

build working relationships that move deals through internal approval cycles quickly.
sales governance

build a single source of truth for commercial performance.
flag risk early — no surprises in forecast-to-close conversion.
commercial operations
own commercial reporting, contract lifecycle coordination, and deal documentation discipline.
build the operating rhythm — reviews, reporting, escalation paths — that lets the function scale.
coordinate with Finance and Legal on commercial terms and contract structuring.
team development
build and lead a commercial pod as volume justifies headcount.
institutionalize onboarding, coaching, and performance management for the team.
build a bench for future scale — this function should not be a single point of failure.
You should apply if you:
have 7-12yrs of experience in Business Development, Enterprise Sales, or Strategic Partnerships within payments, fintech, or banking infrastructure.
demonstrated ownership of a commercial pipeline — origination through closure — not just relationship management.
proven track record structuring and closing partnerships with banks, NBFCs, or payment networks.
strong command of commercial and contractual structuring — pricing, terms, negotiation.
executive presence — credible in front of CXOs at banks and large enterprises.
