Who we're looking for Minimum 2 years proven B2B new business field sales experience

Proven experience selling into SMB customers (territory-based selling)
Experience in merchant services/payments and/or POS is strongly preferred
Other relevant technical or hospitality-adjacent field sales will be considered
A genuine self-starter
Full UK driving licence
What Will Make You Successful A "hunter" mindset: enjoys field intensity, door-to-door prospecting, and building business in the territory
Strong commercial judgement and value / pricing ownership
High activity with discipline: creates volume while keeping quality
Can adapt: able to move a merchant from simple devices toward more complete POS/payments solutions
