   • Build strategic partnerships with high-value verticals (e-commerce, OTA, gaming, FX/OTC brokers, fintech platforms) requiring crypto payment, stablecoin settlement, or hybrid fiat–crypto flows.
   • Maintain strong relationships with card schemes (Visa, Mastercard), virtual card issuers, and payment aggregators to enhance card acceptance and wallet funding capabilities.

   • Translate market intelligence into product enhancements—pricing, payout schedules, settlement currencies, risk rules, and merchant onboarding flows.
   • Support API integration discussions with merchants and PSPs; ensure technical readiness and smooth go-live.

4. Revenue, Performance & Market Intelligence

   • Own volume, revenue, and merchant activation OKRs; deliver measurable growth every bi-monthly cycle.
   • Track and report performance metrics including GMV, approval rates, cost of acceptance, chargeback trends, and ROI.
   • Produce competitive intelligence and market landscape reports to support executive decision-making and regional strategy planning.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of experience in BD, partnerships, or commercial roles in payments, acquiring, fintech, or crypto (PSP / issuing / acquiring experience strongly preferred).
