Strategic Account Director

Founded in 2005, Payoneer is the global financial platform that removes friction from doing business across borders, with a mission to connect the world’s underserved businesses to a rising global economy. We’re a community with over 2,500 colleagues all over the world, working to serve customers and partners in over 190 countries and territories.

The Strategic Account Director is a new-business, quota-carrying hunter responsible for landing the largest, most complex enterprise logos in the market. You own the full pursuit — from target identification and outbound generation through multi-threaded, committee-driven sales cycles to signed, revenue-producing contracts. Your prospects run cross-border volume at scale, they are today served by incumbent banks or specialist fintechs, and displacing that incumbent is the job.

This is a role for someone who is energized by the chase: building conviction where none exists, getting into the CFO's and Treasurer's office cold, orchestrating a pursuit team through a long and technical evaluation, and closing seven-figure relationships. You set the bar for how strategic new business gets won at Payoneer.

This is a strategic role. It is deliberately seated centrally under Global Sales so the strategic-accounts motion can be built, proven, and standardized before ownership is distributed to the regions. You will work hand in hand with regional heads of sales for in-market coordination and, over time, help shape how this function scales across the field.

What You'll Do

• Hunt and land net-new strategic accounts.
• Own a new-business quota.
• Identify, prioritize, and pursue the highest-value target accounts in your territory (typically $500K+/month cross-border volume, up to $10M+/month strategic targets) and convert them into signed, funded customers.
• Generate your own pipeline.
• Build top-of-funnel through disciplined, research-led outbound — direct executive outreach, referrals, partner and ecosystem channels, and events.
• Break into the buying committee cold.
• Get in front of and build conviction with CFOs, Treasurers, Finance Operations, and Compliance/Risk leaders at target accounts.
• Displace the incumbent.
• Run competitive displacement plays and build the business case that moves an entrenched buyer.
• Own complex, long-cycle deals end to end.
• Drive multi-stakeholder, technical, compliance-sensitive evaluations from first meeting to close.
• Sell the platform.
• Qualify with discipline.
• Orchestrate the pursuit team.
• Forecast honestly and close on time.
• Set up the win for the long term.
