You’ll be responsible for shaping the commercial structure, scaling high‑performing teams, and building a predictable and sustainable revenue model that supports ambitious growth targets.
Working closely with the CEO and board, you will translate the company’s strategic objectives into measurable commercial outcomes, while acting as a key voice on the executive team and across external stakeholders.
Responsibilities

- Build, lead and scale high‑performing commercial teams across sales, partnerships, and account management in the UK and international markets.

- Drive pipeline development, deal velocity and conversion through insight‑led sales operations and tools.
- Establish and optimise revenue processes across the full client lifecycle, from lead generation to retention and upsell.
- Build strategic partnerships across the payments and fintech ecosystem to unlock new distribution and integration channels.
- Collaborate closely with product, marketing, operations and finance to ensure alignment across commercial priorities and customer delivery.
- Contribute to overall business strategy, helping shape go‑to‑market models, pricing, and international expansion.
Ideal Profile
- Proven experience as a CRO or senior commercial leader within a high-growth payments, fintech, or SaaS business.
- Deep understanding of B2B payments, FX, or embedded financial services across SMEs, mid‑market or enterprise segments.
- Track record of scaling revenue functions from Series A/B through to global expansion.
- Data‑led with a deep understanding of commercial KPIs, forecasting, pipeline health, and customer lifetime value.
- Experienced in building and managing high-performance revenue teams, including direct sales and partnerships.
- Strong leadership presence with experience reporting at board level and collaborating cross‑functionally.
- Entrepreneurial, hands‑on, and comfortable operating in VC-backed, fast‑paced environments.
