This is an individual contributor role for an experienced payments professional who understands the local Indian payments ecosystem and has an established network of relevant industry contacts.
You will work closely with the CEO and cross-functional teams to identify new opportunities, build partnerships, negotiate commercial terms, and bring new clients and payment partners into the business.

What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a payments professional who knows the Indian market from the inside.
The ideal candidate is not simply a salesperson. You understand how the payments ecosystem works, know the key players, have an established network, and can independently open doors and turn relationships into real commercial opportunities.
You should be comfortable working independently, negotiating with senior stakeholders, and building new business in a fast-moving international environment.
We are looking for someone who can bring both expertise and network and help KeyPanda grow its presence in India.
