Full Job Description
Overview

We’re looking for a Director of Transactional Services to drive adoption, revenue, and expansion of our services portfolio. This role exists to make sure the services we offer today are being used and monetized to their full potential — and to identify, launch, and scale the next set of services that deepen our share of wallet. 

 

You’ll own the KPIs that measure services success — attach rate, services ARPU, services NRR, and adoption across the customer base — and work across Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance to move them. 

 

You’ll sit at the intersection of commercial strategy and execution, tasked with transforming our transaction flows from a utility into a strategic revenue driver. You’ll partner with them to make sure what gets built and shipped actually drives customer adoption and commercial results. 

Responsibilities

Own Services Adoption & Success Metrics 

  • Own the KPIs that define services performance — attach rate, services ARPU, services NRR, activation rates by service, and revenue contribution by product line and customer segment.
  • Build and maintain the reporting cadence that keeps leadership informed: monthly performance against targets, quarterly business reviews, and real-time visibility into where services are accelerating or stalling. 

Drive Adoption of Existing Services 

  • Own the commercial performance of the current services portfolio — payments and other transactional services customers use every day.
  • Diagnose where adoption is lagging, where friction is costing revenue, and where better positioning, pricing, or packaging would unlock growth.
  • Partner with Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to get services in front of the right customers at the right moments in their lifecycle.
  • Work with Product to remove friction that keeps customers from turning services on. 

Grow Revenue Per Customer 

  • Build and execute the playbook for expanding services revenue across the customer base.
  • Forecast monthly and quarterly performance with Finance and identify the levers — pricing, bundling, cross-sell, activation — that move ARPU and NRR.
  • Orchestrate the teams needed to pull those levers at scale. 

Launch New Services to Expand Share of Wallet 

  • Identifythe next services worth building or partnering to deliver — credit, insurance,purchasingcards, and beyond — based on customer need and commercial opportunity.
  • Size the opportunity, build the business case, and champion these initiatives through the organization.
  • Once a new service is greenlit, work alongside teams to ensure it ships on time, lands well with customers, and hits its commercial targets. You are the commercial owner; Product owns delivery. 

Represent the Customer in Cross-Functional Decisions 

  • Serve as the commercial lead for banking and payment partner relationships, negotiating terms that protect customer experience and margins.
  • Bring the customer and commercial lens into conversations with Risk & Compliance (fraud controls, regulatory constraints) and Finance (treasury, float, time-to-money).
  • Ensure those functions’ decisions reflect what customers need and what the business requires to grow. 

Go-to-Market Leadership 

  • Partner with Marketing on positioning, pricing, and campaigns that drive services adoption.

  • Equip Sales and Customer Success with what they need to sell and expand services.

  • Coordinate launches so new services hit the market with real momentum, not a quiet rollout. 

Operational Performance & Reporting 

  • Establish andmaintaina structured cadence of operational reviews, including weeklymetricsdashboards, monthly leadership updates, and quarterly business reviews.

  • Track and communicate variances in services performance, surfacing risks and recommending course corrections in a timely manner. 

Partner & Vendor Management 

  • Manage commercial relationships with payment processors, banking partners, andembedded-financevendors.

  • Lead contract negotiations and renewals, ensuring commercial terms align with growth objectives and customer experience standards. 

Team Leadership & Development 

  • Lead, develop, and grow a high-performing team focused on services adoption and commercialization.

  • Set clear expectations, provide ongoing coaching, and build the organizational capability needed to execute the services growth strategy. 

Strategic Planning & Business Case Development 

  • Contribute to annual and multi-year services growth planning, including market sizing, competitive benchmarking, and opportunity prioritization.

  • Build compelling business cases for new services investments, presenting to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

  • Demonstrated ability to grow revenue through pricing, positioning, activation, and in-product strategies.

  • Strong analytical skills: comfortable building dashboards, running cohort analyses, and translating data into executive narratives.

  • Proven cross-functional leadership across Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance without direct ownership of those teams.

  • Experience managing external partner and vendor relationships, including contract negotiation.
