- Mentor teammates on how to be the best version of themselves after establishing yourself in the role
- Travel into different markets and meet with restaurant owners (hybrid role with up to 50% travel)

We're excited about you because you have…

- 2+ years of experience in a closing sales role, preferably in an outside sales or field-forward environment
- The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, transaction sales cycle – typically closing deals within days
- Consistently exceeded KPIs and sales target through disciplined activity and strong execution
- Experience selling multi-product solutions and tailoring your pitch to each merchant
