About the Role
KPay is currently launching its UK market and is looking for immediate starters to join us as Data Crawlers on a 2-week paid trial period. This is a highly hands-on field-based role, where you will be out in the market visiting businesses door-to-door and collecting information that will help KPay better understand and map the UK merchant landscape. This is not a traditional cold-calling or desk-based role. We are looking for people who are comfortable being on the ground, approaching businesses in person, asking questions, gathering accurate information, and covering a high volume of businesses each day.
What You'll Do
- Door-to-door data collection: Visit local businesses in person and collect relevant information about merchants, their business operations, and existing payment solutions.
- Market mapping: Identify and record businesses within your assigned territory to help build KPay's UK merchant database.
- Merchant research: Speak directly with business owners or staff to understand their current payment setup, needs, and challenges.
- Collect accurate data: Capture information consistently and accurately using KPay's designated systems and processes.
- High-volume field activity: Visit a large number of businesses each day and systematically work through your assigned area.
- Provide market insights: Share observations and feedback on merchant behaviour, competitors, pricing, and market conditions.
- Work independently: Plan your daily route, manage your time effectively, and take ownership of your assigned territory.
- Represent KPay professionally: Act as a friendly and professional representative of KPay when interacting with businesses.
What We’re Looking For
- Immediate availability - we are looking for candidates who can start as soon as possible.
- Comfortable with a 2-week paid trial period.
- Comfortable working on the ground and approaching businesses door-to-door.
- Confident speaking with business owners, managers, and staff.
- Highly proactive and energetic - you should be comfortable walking into businesses and starting conversations.
- Detail-oriented and accurate, particularly when collecting and recording information.
- Able to work independently and manage a high volume of activity each day.
- Resilient and comfortable with rejection or businesses declining to participate.
- Good communication skills and a professional attitude.
- Previous experience in field sales, door-to-door sales, canvassing, market research, surveying, or similar high-activity roles is a plus, but not essential. We care more about attitude, energy, and willingness to get out into the field than years of experience.
Trial Period & Compensation
- 2-week paid trial period
- Hourly paid
- Immediate starters preferred
- Field-based across London or Manchester
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being out in the field, speaking to people, and working in a fast-paced environment. Strong performers during the trial period may have the opportunity to continue working with KPay as the UK market develops.
