  • Working knowledge of payments from a mix of experience across network operations, transaction processing and/or merchant acquiring, with 5-10 years of relevant experience
  • Familiar with transaction-based pricing (versus license or seat/user-based pricing schemes) and experience articulating ROI for clients from payment solutions
  • Coaching and mentoring skills to develop junior GTM analysts business development support capabilities and help them eventually develop into Account Managers
  • Experience and ability building business cases
  • Ability to communicate effectively with all levels of management and with external clients in an organized, professional manner
