This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who knows how to open doors, build high-value strategic partnerships with software platforms, ISVs, vertical SaaS providers, ISOs, marketplaces, banks and technology partners and convert opportunities into commercial wins. You will identify and secure the right partner relationships, then lead complex customer conversations with senior stakeholders to close large, high-potential deals.

You will likely be a strong fit if you have built strategic partnerships, led enterprise sales wins and understand the payments landscape, ideally operating within payments, acquiring, PSP, EMI, fintech or adjacent enterprise SaaS verticals.

In this role, you will:

  • Identify, qualify and secure strategic partners across software, technology, banking, vertical SaaS, ISVs, ISOs, marketplaces and related ecosystems.
  • Own the full partner lifecycle from initial outreach and commercial assessment through to signed agreement and first live merchant opportunity.
  • Lead enterprise sales conversations generated through partners, managing discovery, solution design, commercial structuring, negotiation and close.
  • Build strong relationships with senior decision-makers including founders, C-level executives, General Managers and operational leaders.
  • Work cross-functionally with Legal, Compliance, Finance, Product, Marketing and Operations to bring complex deals to life.
  • Maintain a strong pipeline, accurate forecasting and clear market insight on where Viva.com can win in the UK.
  • Represent Viva.com in the market through events, networking and partner-facing activity that builds credibility and opportunity flow.

You will stand out if you also bring:

  • Experience shaping route-to-market or partner strategies, not just executing pre-defined plans.
  • Credibility across both partnership development and enterprise sales, with the ability to move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
  • A strong network in the UK payments or adjacent software verticals and commercial ecosystem.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
