About VoPay International Inc.

VoPay’s Fintech-as-a-Service platform enables any business to embed financial services and payment capabilities into their existing applications, products, or services through a single, scalable API. Our integrated technology gives product managers and developers the flexibility and speed to build innovative financial solutions in a rapidly evolving industry.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Director of Sales and Business Development to define VoPay’s commercial strategy and build the revenue engine that carries the company through its next phase of growth.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a build-and-lead role that owns the full commercial function: strategy, quota, pipeline, team, and process. You will lead a growing organization of Account Executives, Business Development Managers, Sales Executives, and Strategic Alliance leads, carry an overall team revenue target while defining, assigning, and monitoring individual targets across the team.

Beyond running the team, you will shape where VoPay competes. You will deepen our position in embedded finance across priority verticals and markets (US & Canada) while also supporting the expansion into new geographies including LATAM, the EU, and MENA.

The mandate is currently scoped at Director level. We are building the commercial function step by step, and we expect the right person to grow into a VP of Sales or Chief Revenue Officer role as the team and revenue base scale.

Develop and refine value propositions, positioning, and messaging by segment and by market
Assess product fit for new opportunities and shape solutions that map platform capability to customer outcomes
Feed market signal, competitive intelligence, and roadmap priorities back to Product
Support complex opportunities directly, from discovery and solution design through commercial negotiation and close

Market Expansion

Build entry strategies for new geographies, including partner models, regulatory considerations, and local go-to-market approach
Establish the commercial foundations, including pricing, packaging, and channel structure, needed to scale in the US
Prioritize markets on evidence rather than opportunity noise, and make the case for where to invest and where to wait

Cross-Functional Alignment and Sales Operations

Work with Operations, Marketing, Product, Legal, Compliance, and Finance so that sales run efficiently and in line with SOPs
Own the sales process end to end, including CRM hygiene, stage definitions, deal desk, approvals, and handoff to onboarding and customer success

Hands-on experience in SaaS sales and business development capacity for firms in the embedded finance, digital payments, fintech, or Banking-as-a-Service businesses
