About The Role

Build. Win. Scale.

At Lightnet, we connect ambitious digital businesses with some of the world's fastest-growing emerging markets.

We are seeking a high-performing enterprise sales hunter to build a greenfield merchant pipeline across APAC, win strategic enterprise partnerships and drive cross-border expansion. This can be across the Money Transfer Operator (MTO) and Payment Service Provider (PSP) sectors or Digital Assets

The ideal candidate brings deep APAC payments expertise, a strong industry network and a proven track record of closing deals and exceeding sales targets

‍

What You'll Own

  • Build a Greenfield Pipeline: Identify, prospect and win high-potential APAC digital merchants across high-growth verticals, targeting businesses with ambitions to expand into emerging markets
  • Own the Full Deal Cycle: Drive opportunities from initial outreach and qualification through commercial structuring, negotiation and contract closure, with accountability for pipeline quality and revenue outcomes
  • Navigate Enterprise Complexity: Map merchant organisations, engage decision-makers across regional HQ and country teams, and orchestrate stakeholders across legal, finance, treasury and business functions
  • Drive Multi-Market Expansion: Develop market-entry strategies and phased launch approaches, partnering with Lightnet's global teams and internal experts across legal, tax, compliance and product to structure compelling solutions and accelerate deal execution
  • Convert Deals into Revenue: Own the merchant journey beyond signature, driving integration, activation and volume ramp-up while identifying opportunities for expansion into new markets, payment methods and products
  • Maintain Commercial Excellence: Manage a disciplined, data-driven pipeline with clear deal strategies, forecasts, milestones and next steps, ensuring transparency and predictability across the business

‍

What You Bring

  • 12+ years of enterprise business development or new-logo sales experience, with a proven track record of closing strategic, high-value accounts
  • Deep payments expertise spanning processing flows, card schemes, alternative payment methods, fraud, chargebacks and emerging-market payment dynamics.
  • Demonstrated success managing complex, long-cycle enterprise deals involving multiple stakeholders, commercial negotiations and cross-border regulatory considerations
  • A strong hunter mentality, with the ability to independently identify opportunities, build relationships from scratch and convert prospects into strategic partnerships
  • Experience managing merchants beyond contract signing, including integration, activation, volume ramp-up and account expansion
  • Strong commercial and analytical capabilities, with the ability to develop business cases, prioritise opportunities and make data-driven decisions.
  • Experience working across APAC markets, with strong cross-cultural awareness and the ability to navigate regional and global stakeholder dynamics.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance or a related discipline.
  • Fluent English; proficiency in an Asian language such as Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay or Filipino is a strong advantage
  • Flexibility to collaborate across international time zones

‍

What Sets You Apart

  • Strategic Hunter: You thrive on opening new accounts and building pipelinesfrom zero, combining relentless prospecting with thoughtful enterprise deal strategy
  • Commercial Problem-Solver: You anticipate roadblocks, challenge assumptions and bring the right stakeholders together to move complex opportunities forward
  • Emerging-Market Mindset: You understand the commercial potential of emerging markets and can build a compelling expansion thesis for APAC merchants
  • Vertical Expertise: You bring deep knowledge of at least two digital-first sectors, including their business models, unit economics, growth drivers and payment complexities.
  • Ownership and Resilience: You remain composed in ambiguity, adapt whenpriorities shift and maintain momentum without compromising long-term relationships
  • Collaborative Approach: You leverage global expertise, share market intelligence and work across geographies to maximise commercial outcomes

‍

Why Lightnet?

  • Drive meaningful growth: Help APAC digital businesses unlock new revenue opportunities across emerging market
  • Win transformational deals: Lead complex, multi-country enterprise partnerships with significant commercial potential
  • Shape market expansion: Influence how global digital businesses enter and scale across new markets
