The Opportunity
We are seeking a Director of Sales and Business Development to define VoPay’s commercial strategy and build the revenue engine that carries the company through its next phase of growth.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a build-and-lead role that owns the full commercial function: strategy, quota, pipeline, team, and process. You will lead a growing organization of Account Executives, Business Development Managers, Sales Executives, and Strategic Alliance leads, carry an overall team revenue target while defining, assigning, and monitoring individual targets across the team.
Beyond running the team, you will shape where VoPay competes. You will deepen our position in embedded finance across priority verticals and markets (US & Canada) while also supporting the expansion into new geographies including LATAM, the EU, and MENA.
The mandate is currently scoped at Director level. We are building the commercial function step by step, and we expect the right person to grow into a VP of Sales or Chief Revenue Officer role as the team and revenue base scale.

Team Leadership and Mentorship
- Lead, coach, and mentor the sales and business development team, and raise the standard of execution
- Recruit, onboard, and develop current team members as the function scales
- Develop and maintain SOP’s and run a consistent operating rhythm of pipeline reviews, deal inspection, one-on-ones, and performance management
- Build a culture of accountability, curiosity, and disciplined selling
Embedded Finance and Vertical Growth
- Drive growth in embedded finance across priority verticals including lending, proptech, payroll, investment, insurance, marketplaces, and healthcare

Value Proposition, Product Fit, and Solutioning
- Develop and refine value propositions, positioning, and messaging by segment and by market
- Assess product fit for new opportunities and shape solutions that map platform capability to customer outcomes
- Feed market signal, competitive intelligence, and roadmap priorities back to Product
- Support complex opportunities directly, from discovery and solution design through commercial negotiation and close
Market Expansion
- Build entry strategies for current geographies, including partner models, regulatory considerations, and local go-to-market approach
- Establish the commercial foundations, including pricing, packaging, and channel structure, needed to scale in the US
- Prioritize markets on evidence rather than chance noise, and make the case for where to invest and where to wait
Cross-Functional Alignment and Sales Operations
- Work with Operations, Marketing, Product, Legal, Compliance, and Finance so that sales run efficiently and in line with SOPs
- Own the sales process end to end, including CRM hygiene, stage definitions, deal desk, approvals, and handoff to onboarding and customer success

- Comfortable working directly with a C-suite and contributing at the leadership table
- Sound commercial judgment across pricing, deal structure, and negotiation
Preferred
- Hands-on experience in SaaS sales and business development capacity for firms in the embedded finance, digital payments, fintech, or Banking-as-a-Service businesses
