  • Collaborate & Learn: Work with Growth Executives and internal teams to align on growth priorities and share best practices.

💼 What You Bring:

  • 3+ years in account management, customer success, or commercial sales.
  • Strong analytical skills and experience with CRM tools.
  • Fintech, financial services, or merchant services experience (preferred).
  • Matric required; tertiary qualification in Business, Commerce, or Marketing is a plus.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

🔑 Key Traits We Value:
