• Navigate multi-stakeholder deals involving Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance, and Legal on both sides.
• Develop and execute regional go-to-market strategy aligned with Transak's global expansion goals.

2. Solution Engineering & Technical Fluency

• Work hands-on with prospects to design end-to-end solutions using Transak's APIs, widget, and compliance products.
• Understand customer architectures and map them to Transak's technical, regulatory, and operational capabilities.
• Communicate product and compliance constraints clearly, setting realistic expectations and building trust.
• Collaborate with Product & Engineering to improve product-market fit and influence roadmap priorities.

3. Pipeline, Forecasting & Sales Process Excellence

• Maintain CRM discipline (HubSpot) with accurate pipeline hygiene and forecasting.
• Work closely with RevOps and Finance to implement scalable processes, templates, and reporting systems.
• Drive structured outbound motion and account-based selling for high-priority targets.

4. Relationship Building & Partnerships

• Develop strong, long-term relationships with C-level, product, and compliance decision-makers.
• Serve as a trusted advisor with a deep understanding of the partner's business, user base, and long-term objectives.
• Build champions within target organizations to accelerate time-to-close and expand account value.

5. Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate closely with Product, Compliance, Finance, Risk, Solutions Engineering, and Marketing.
• Ensure partner feedback loops are tight, structured, and actionable.
• Represent Transak at conferences, events, and industry forums as a credible spokesperson.
