Partners earn a share of fintech profit on every transaction. HTS manages pricing dynamically, handles 24/7 customer servicing with a 98%+ self-service rate, supports 30+ languages, and operates as Merchant of Record in 35 currencies.

Enterprise Sales Execution - Run a disciplined, full-cycle enterprise sales motion from discovery and qualification through commercial negotiation, legal execution, and contract signature. - Adhere to business processes and collaborate with Product, Finance, Legal teams from pre‑sales through implementation and launch. - Lead multi-stakeholder deal cycles across product, finance, legal, and C-suite counterparts at target accounts. - Build business cases that quantify the ancillary profit opportunity for partners, grounded in HTS Fintech's pricing data, attach-rate benchmarks, and revenue-share economics - Negotiate and close multi-year agreements with durable commercial terms, including revenue-share structures, exposure commitments, and expansion provisions.

Cross-Functional Execution - Comfortable working with a globally distributed team. - Collaborate with Solutions, Product, Legal, and Finance from pre-sales through implementation and launch to ensure deals close and partners go live. - Partner with RevOps to maintain forecast accuracy and pipeline hygiene at the standard expected by executive leadership.

Comfortable operating across cultures, languages, and regulatory environments. - Experience selling API, SDK, or white-label embedded solutions, with the ability to translate technical product capabilities into clear commercial outcomes. - Strong command of enterprise deal mechanics: pricing and margin analysis, multi-year contract structuring, revenue-share models, commercial and legal negotiatio and critical thinking skills. - Experience closing multi-stakeholder, multi-year agreements in APAC markets, with comfort operating across cultures, regulatory environments, and time zones. - Methodical sales operator: value selling discipline, high CRM hygiene, rigorous forecasting, and executive-level communication and presentation. - Self-starter with urgency, resilience, and the hunger to close, comfortable with ambiguity and the pace of a high-growth environment. - Demonstrated passion for continuous self-improvement and learning, sharing knowledge with the team to continue raising the bar. - Excellent written and verbal English; additional Asian language fluency is a strong plus. - Willingness to travel up to 50% across APAC. - No ego.
