What’s the mission you’ll drive

What you will do

• Establish a consistent commercial closure rate to onboard 24 active Tier 1 and Tier 2 merchants by executing targeted outbound strategies, managing multi-category sales cycles, and properly routing pure enterprise opportunities to the dedicated enterprise team.

• Consolidate and maintain a healthy active pipeline of 100 to 120 prospective merchant accounts across the team by evaluating multi-category commercial opportunities with the Marketplace Supply Head, prioritizing high-value leads, and enforcing clear stage-progression criteria.

• Establish and lead weekly commercial and onboarding business reviews starting in Month 1 by tracking the complete merchant acquisition journey, reporting drop-off reasons at each stage, and resolving operational bottlenecks across Sales, Marketing, and Product teams.

• Lead the monthly cross-sell review cadence by providing cross-functional coordination and operational alignment to support the Sales team in increasing cross-sell merchant activations from 14 to 20 accounts per month.

• Achieve full pipeline accuracy and CRM operational excellence by auditing and structuring sales stage updates in Salesforce, establishing key business triggers, and providing reliable metrics for accurate executive forecasting.

  • Builds and executes structured outbound territory plans to identify, qualify, and engage high-value Tier 1 and Tier 2 retail merchants across multiple categories.

  • Possesses advanced command of CRM architectures (Salesforce, HubSpot) to enforce pipeline hygiene, stage definitions, and accurate revenue forecasting for team-wide workflows.

  • Navigates funnel mechanics with high quantitative rigor, identifying stage conversion drop-offs and taking immediate corrective action to maintain coverage.

• Track record of managing complex, multi-threaded commercial negotiations (MUST HAVE)

  • Aligns disparate merchant stakeholders—including economic buyers, legal teams, technical leads, and marketing directors—to drive deals to close.

  • Manages multiple long-cycle commercial negotiations in parallel while maintaining total ownership and execution velocity.

  • Translates complex commercial frameworks, point-of-sale credit value drivers, and checkout integration terms into clear, win-win merchant agreements.

• Demonstrates extreme tenacity, autonomy, and a fast-paced startup mindset (MUST HAVE)

  • Thrives in ambiguous, high-growth startup environments, maintaining momentum and organization through long, complex pursuit cycles.

  • Takes end-to-end ownership of both individual sales quotas and broader acquisition process improvements without requiring day-to-day oversight.

  • Exhibits high resilience and creative problem-solving when navigating merchant objections or internal onboarding friction.

• Has solid expertise in financial acumen and retail unit economics (MUST HAVE)

  • Speaks the language of retail margins, inventory turn rates, and e-commerce conversion, positioning Addi as an indispensable sales driver.

  • Evaluates merchant category fit, product velocity, and basket size to prioritize high-converting Tier 1 and Tier 2 target lists.

Experienced in regional retail networks and commercial consulting (PREFERRED)

• Leverages an existing network of C-level contacts across retail, e-commerce, consumer brands, or marketplace sectors in Latin America.

• Brings prior experience in top-tier strategy consulting or commercial partnerships within fintech, payments, or point-of-sale financing ecosystems.
