This is a senior, high-ownership role responsible for recruiting and growing Payzli's partner network across three segments: 1099 agents and ISOs, bank partnerships, and ISVs.
In addition to driving channel growth directly, you will build and manage a team of Partner Sales employees - setting strategy, establishing process, and holding the team accountable to results. This role reports to senior leadership and has a direct impact on Payzli's revenue trajectory.

- Build, hire, and manage a team of Partner Sales Representatives
- Set individual and team quotas, establish reporting cadences, and drive accountability
- Coach and develop team members to consistently hit recruitment and activation targets
- Create scalable processes for prospecting, pipeline management, and partner onboarding handoff
How Success Is Measured
- Partner Recruitment: New signed partners across agents/ISOs, banks, and ISVs on a monthly and quarterly basis
- Partner Activation: Partners reaching active processing status within 90 days of signing
- Team Performance: Your team's collective pipeline, recruitment output, and activation rates
What We're Looking For
- Established experience in payments, fintech, or merchant services - an existing network of agents, ISOs, bank contacts, or ISV relationships is a strong advantage
- Proven track record recruiting and managing channel partners at scale
- Prior experience building or managing a sales team
- Strong pipeline discipline with the ability to manage a high-volume, multi-segment book of prospects
- Clear, professional communicator - comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and external partners

Compensation
This is a W-2 position offering a competitive base salary plus a revenue override incentive tied to the performance of your recruited partner portfolio. The more your partners produce, the more you earn. Compensation details will be discussed during the interview process.
