Company Description Checkout.com is one of the most exciting fintechs in the world. Our mission is to enable businesses and their communities to thrive in the digital economy. We’re the strategic payments partner for some of the best known fast-moving brands globally such as Wise, Hut Group, Sony Electronics, Homebase, Henkel, Klarna and many others. Purpose-built with performance and scalability in mind, our flexible cloud-based payments platform helps global enterprises launch new products and create experiences customers love.
The role We are currently looking for a Country Manager to own our fastest growing market to date whilst growing and upskilling a high-performing team/pod. There is huge potential for future growth in Japan given current market penetration across the region, and still have a significant share of wallet to target alongside market incumbents such as traditional acquirers and banks, and competing market disruptors.
Job requirements Demonstrable experience leading Sales, Account Managers, (and/or Sales Engineering) organizations in high-growth, fast-paced B2B environments, most likely within payments and acquiring. Solid network of potential prospects and partners in the region is preferable, especially within key strategic verticals including e-commerce, digital platforms and subscription businesses. Have a strong grasp of the Japan payments landscape and think strategically on how to drive and execute sales strategies in an identified region or vertical. Excellent knowledge of Salesforce and other key technologies. Native fluency in Business Japanese and advanced fluency in English.
Benefits We work as one team. Wherever you come from. However you identify. And whichever payment method you use. Our clients come from all over the world — and so do we. Hiring hard-working people and giving them a community to thrive in is critical to our success. When you join our team, we’ll empower you to unlock your potential so you can do your best work.
