  • Identify key verticals and define the right value propositions and product positioning
  • Collaborate with Global Marketing to build and execute customer campaigns
  • Establish partnerships with local vendors and develop effective channel strategies
  • Align with the global Product team to shape tools and experiences that support SME users
  • Serve as the lead voice for the SME business, both internally and externally
  • Balance strategic planning with hands-on execution to drive measurable business growth

What makes you ideal:

  • 10+ years in commercial leadership, GTM strategy, or operations in high-growth environments
  • 5+ years managing and scaling multi-functional teams across sales, marketing, and customer success
  • Demonstrated success in growing B2B customer acquisition and retention
  • Expertise in designing and executing multi-channel growth strategies
  • Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills
  • A collaborative mindset with the confidence to lead through ambiguity
  • Experience in payments, fintech, or scaling sales in high-volume B2B environments
