Your mandate: deliver minimum 30% year-over-year growth while strengthening an alliance serving millions of merchants globally.
What You'll Do

- Identify and close expansion opportunities across geographies, product lines, and revenue models.
- Build executive relationships across the partner organization, serving as WooCommerce's consistent voice.
- Orchestrate internal alignment across engineering, product, marketing, legal, finance, and operations.
- Lead QBRs, annual planning, and escalation resolution with strategic authority.
- Maintain sophisticated understanding of global payment economics—interchange, acquiring models, payment rules—and apply this to sharpen commercial positioning.
- Monitor the payments landscape for emerging technologies and competitive threats.
- Track partnership health through KPIs and leading indicators, reporting to senior leadership.
- Manage contract renewals and commercial negotiations with discipline.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of commercial leadership in payments—merchant services, acquiring, or payment service providers.
- Track record scaling strategic partnerships ($50M+ ARR) with consistent delivery against aggressive targets.
- Deep knowledge of payment economics: interchange mechanics, banking relationships, cost structures.
- Technical fluency in payment capabilities and integration feasibility assessment.
- Exceptional executive presence and communication skills; proven C-suite influence.
- Strong financial modeling and analytical abilities for business case development.
- Excellence in cross-functional orchestration without direct authority.
- Experience leading multi-year strategic planning and execution cycles.
- Ability to thrive in complexity and establish clarity amid ambiguity.
- Multi-continent partnership management experience strongly preferred.
