Business Development Manager Markets; EU

At Sure Pay we’re on the lookout for a Business Development Manager to dive into new markets within the EU, identify opportunities and assess how we can add value in these markets. If you’re a driven person with a commercial mindset who doesn’t shy away from diving into new territories, we’d like to meet you!

Sure Pay is already active in the Netherlands, the UK and Belgium. We want to continue expanding to other EU countries and identify how we can make them more secure. This will require careful research and analysis around the systems, legislations and possibilities in order to make solid internal recommendations.

In this role you are responsible for generating new revenue and expanding our customer base in new potential markets within the EU. We’re looking for someone who can immerse themselves in the world of international payment systems, financial security and fraud. From there, you’ll help us to identify commercial opportunities and stay on top of new market developments. You’re equally passionate about building valuable long-term partnerships and diving into the research and developments within the EU payments space.

Systems like SWIFT and existing schemes in Europe are familiar to you and you have an interest in areas such as cross-border payments and European legislations like the Instant Payment regulation and PSD
3. This knowledge and interest is essential for success in this role.

Our team and business is growing fast, and that’s how we like it! As our Business Development Manager for new markets you’re not only conducting the research but also making the first contact and building relationships with (potential) clients. You offer your expertise to prospects and have a seat at their table as their sparring partner. You know how their systems work, and therefore how they can improve their own product by collaborating with us.
