About Us

At Valpay, we’re building the next generation of embedded payments. We help SaaS companies transform payments from a utility into a new line of revenue. Our PayFac-as-a-Service model delivers all the benefits of integrated payments while we handle the complexity.

In just two years, we’ve helped 3,000 merchants across 12 verticals in North America, Europe, and Australia. Our Growth Pods operate like mini-business units — each one responsible for acquiring software partners, activating their merchants, and delivering sustained revenue growth.

The Role

  • Identify and develop growth opportunities: Target regions or verticals with the highest potential and shape localized outreach.
  • Own partner relationships: Collaborate with partner sales teams to activate and scale merchant accounts.
  • Drive full lifecycle adoption: Orchestrate your pod to ensure smooth onboarding, product adoption, and revenue expansion.
  • Lead with influence: Be accountable for the metrics and Align pod members around ambitious commercial goals.

What you Bring

  • 5 years in B2B sales, partnerships, or growth (SaaS, fintech, or payments).
  • Experience selling to or partnering with software companies/ISVs
  • Strong mix of commercial skills and technical comfort.
  • Ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
  • Builder mentality: self-motivated, proactive, and not afraid to cold call or go after big accounts.
