Our client is a high-growth fintech and payments business specialising in merchant acquiring, e Commerce payments, international payments, and complex payment solutions.

Established for nearly 20 years, the company processes billions in annual transaction volume and works with over 40 acquiring banks and payment partners globally.

Following significant investment into its proprietary technology platform, the business is evolving into a technology-led fintech whilst maintaining an entrepreneurial, relationship-driven culture focused on long-term partnerships rather than transactional sales.

With the business continuing to experience exceptional growth, they are looking to appoint experienced Business Development Managers with a strong background in card acquiring and Cardholder Not Present (CNP)/e Commerce payment solutions.

The Opportunity
