Our 150-person team spans NYC headquarters, Wilmington, and remote talent across the globe—all united by a culture that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and genuine support.

Who you are: - You have 3+ years of experience in B2B business development specifically in an outside/field sales role, preferably within fintech or retail. - You have a proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets and driving significant revenue growth. - You possess a strong understanding of retail operations and financing solutions, with the ability to leverage this knowledge to drive success. - You excel in communication, negotiation, and presentation, with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels. - You are self-motivated, with a strong ability to work independently and collaborate effectively within a team environment. - You are proficient in CRM software (e.g., Salesforce) and the Microsoft Office Suite, ensuring seamless management of sales processes and communication. - You must have a valid driver's license, as this role requires regular travel to client sites. Compensation and Benefits: - Base Salary: Earn a competitive base salary of $80,000 to $95,000, with OTE between $140-200K - Healthcare: We prioritize your well-being by covering 80% of medical, dental, and vision insurance costs, including coverage for your spouse, children, and other dependents. - Retirement Benefits: Begin planning for your future from day one with our 401K plan. - Paid Time Off: We understand the importance of work-life balance.
