Position Summary:

Performance in this role is measured on revenue closed, merchant activation, pipeline quality, and CRM accuracy. Activity without outcomes will not be considered performance.

The role requires strong execution discipline, comfort with targets, and the ability to sell payment solutions in a regulated fintech environment.

Key Responsibilities

The Business Development Executive will be responsible for the following:

• Proactively generate new business leads through cold calling, outbound email campaigns, referrals, networking, and targeted market research.
• Identify, qualify, and pursue sales opportunities by assessing client needs, transaction volumes, revenue potential, regulatory fit, and technical feasibility.
• Create, manage, and maintain an accurate and up-to-date sales pipeline within the company CRM system, ensuring all leads, opportunities, activities, and communications are logged in a timely manner.
• Own the full sales cycle from initial outreach through presentation, negotiation, contracting, and merchant go-live.
• Conduct structured discovery sessions, deliver product demonstrations, and present commercial proposals clearly outlining pricing, settlement flows, implementation timelines, and contractual terms.
• Negotiate commercial terms within approved pricing and discount thresholds and escalate any deviations for prior approval.
• Close new business in line with monthly and quarterly revenue targets and take direct accountability for revenue booked under their portfolio.
• Coordinate merchant onboarding by submitting complete and accurate documentation and actively following up with internal teams to ensure timely activation.
• Ensure all deals handed over to operations are compliant, approved, and free from undocumented commercial or technical commitments.
• Actively manage sales opportunities to prevent stagnation, drive next steps, and reduce overall sales cycle timelines.
• Build and maintain relationships with merchants and partners to drive transaction activity, upsell additional services, and support long-term retention.
• Source, negotiate, and close strategic partnerships that result in measurable transaction volumes or revenue contribution.
• Provide weekly sales reports covering leads generated, meetings held, deals closed, revenue booked, pipeline value, and key blockers.
• Take ownership of missed targets by identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions without reliance on constant supervision.
• Comply with all internal policies, regulatory requirements, and CRM usage standards. Failure to maintain accurate CRM records shall be treated as a performance issue.
