• Understanding of alternative payment methods, 3DS2/SCA, and fraud/risk management in a digital commerce context

Responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting through to signed agreement for new enterprise merchant logos

• Develop and execute a strategic territory plan identifying high-value target merchants and clear paths to engagement
• Serve as a subject matter expert on the unique payments needs of subscription and recurring billing merchants
