This role
The Business Development Manager is responsible for accelerating PayJoy's omnichannel growth by opening new corporate accounts and distribution channels. This person prospects, pursues, negotiates, and closes new strategic partnerships, and supports their manager and the wider team in turning those wins into scalable, repeatable growth. This is an ownership role: you generate your own pipeline, drive deals end-to-end from first contact to signed contract and ramp, and are fully accountable for landing new business.
Key responsibilities
Hunt and close new business, owning the full sales cycle end-to-end — prospecting, qualifying, pitching, negotiating, and signing new strategic partners — with full accountability for hitting new-business and revenue targets.
Generate and drive your own pipeline proactively, building a robust prospect list of high-profitability accounts and distribution channels and converting them into signed deals without waiting for inbound leads.
Discover new business ventures and distribution channels, using market analysis to identify untapped segments, formats, and go-to-market models that expand PayJoy's reach.
Negotiate and close complex corporate contracts with long sales cycles and multiple stakeholders, structuring agreements that secure aggressive growth while protecting PayJoy's long-term commercial interests.
Continuously analyze market and sector trends to sharpen targeting, prioritize the highest-value opportunities, and stay ahead of competitor moves in a highly competitive market.
Support your manager and the wider team by sharing learnings, feeding into playbooks and processes, and contributing to the tools and programs that make new-business acquisition more repeatable.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, Product, and Operations to shape go-to-market execution, campaigns, and materials that support winning and launching new partners.
Maintain clear and persuasive communication, presenting pipeline, forecasts, outcomes, and proposals to your manager, leadership, and key stakeholders with precision and confidence.
Qualifications
Experience. Requires at least 5 years within sales or market growth roles in telecommunications, fintech, or retail. Must demonstrate a consistent ability to secure and finalize new strategic corporate partnerships, emphasizing active customer acquisition over maintenance of established accounts.

Proven closer. Track record signing large corporate contracts with long sales cycles and consistently hitting or exceeding new-business targets.

Ownership mindset. You treat your pipeline and targets as your own business, take full accountability for results, and follow through end-to-end.
Highly organized. You manage a complex pipeline, multiple prospects, and competing deadlines without dropping details.
