About Unlimit

Unlimit is the global fintech powerhouse behind the world’s largest proprietary payments infrastructure.

Founded in 2009, Unlimit operates across 17 global offices with 700 experts, seamlessly integrating 1,000 payment methods into a single platform. From London to São Paulo, we empower businesses to scale across borders with a unified suite of financial tools — including payment processing, alternative payment methods, multicurrency business accounts, card issuing, banking-as-a-service, and crypto on- and off-ramps.

Our mission is to break down financial barriers and enable seamless money movement across borders. We give forward-thinking businesses the tools to accept, send, and manage payments effortlessly, wherever they operate.

Your Impact:

• Originate, negotiate, and close new commercial acquiring partnerships with banks, PSPs, eCommerce platforms, system integrators and other industry players
• Build and execute a structured pipeline of high-value opportunities, with measurable impact on merchant acquisition and revenue growth
• Lead end-to-end deal cycles at a senior level: identifying prospects, aligning strategy, structuring commercial agreements, and driving execution
• Build and scale a global Partnerships team with a clear revenue focus, ensuring sustainable and repeatable growth across regions
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Legal, Risk, Finance, and Marketing to launch new initiatives and maximise the value of every partnership
• Own and optimise performance metrics for the partnership's revenue stream: pipeline conversion, contribution to merchant revenues, ROI, and partner expansion
• Represent Unlimit at industry events, positioning the company as the partner of choice for acquiring and payments innovation
  
  
  

What we’re looking for:

• 10 years in senior partnerships, business development, or commercial leadership roles within Payments, FinTech, eCommerce, or SaaS
• A proven track record of originating and closing major acquiring/commercial partnerships at C-suite level
• Deep understanding of the acquiring ecosystem (banks, PSPs, merchant aggregators, and platforms) and its commercial drivers
• Experience building and scaling international teams and delivering against ambitious growth targets
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to design and execute scalable partner acquisition strategies
• Excellent negotiation, influencing, and communication skills; confidence in engaging with senior stakeholders
• Highly results-driven, entrepreneurial, and comfortable operating in fast-paced, global environments
• Willingness to travel internationally
  
  
  

What we offer:

• Full ownership of a global revenue stream, with the mandate to build and scale Unlimit’s commercial acquiring partnerships worldwide
• The chance to create and shape a new direction for the business — leading landmark deals, opening new markets, and designing the global partner ecosystem from the ground up
• Direct access to and influence with the executive leadership team, contributing to Unlimit’s international growth strategy at the highest level
• The opportunity to represent Unlimit on the global stage: travelling internationally, meeting with senior industry stakeholders, and participating in flagship fintech and commerce events
