You will act as a trusted partner to our clients, delivering best-in-class relationship management while identifying opportunities to expand revenue, increase product adoption, and deepen long-term partnerships.

This role requires a strong commercial mindset, excellent stakeholder management skills, and a deep understanding of payments, fintech, and the sectors served by Pay - including public sector, retail, travel and billers.

• Develop and deliver account plans aligned with client objectives and Trustly’s growth strategy

• Negotiate commercial agreements and renewals to maximise long-term value

• Provide strategic input to clients on industry trends and innovation opportunities

• Represent Trustly at industry events

Who you are

We’re more interested in how you think and work than the specific industries you’ve worked in. Our product is technical and our markets are nuanced, but both can be learned by the right person. What we’re really looking for is commercial instinct, a talent for building relationships, and the drive to get on top of something complex quickly - whatever sector you’re coming from.

 

Experience & Skills

• A strong track record in account management, client success, or another commercial role - the quality of your track record matters more than years served or the industry you built it in

• Proven ability to manage and grow enterprise or strategic accounts

• Strong commercial acumen, with real experience in revenue growth and contract negotiations

• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust and influence at senior levels

 

Domain Knowledge

• An understanding of payments, open banking, or A2A ecosystems is an advantage -as you’ll be given the support to learn our product

• Experience in public sector, retail, travel, or billing is a bonus rather than a prerequisite

• Familiarity with UK market dynamics and the regulatory environment is a plus

 

Personal Attributes

• Genuinely curious and a fast learner - you’ll be expected to become fluent in a technical product, and you’re energised rather than daunted by that

• Hard-working, ambitious, dedicated and willing to go the extra mile to successfully close a negotiation and maximise the value of the deal

• Very good communicator and have the ability to explain complex topics in a clear and understandable way

• Humble with a strong business acumen

• Take great pride in your work and strive for excellence with drive

• Ownership mentality and accountability

• Consider yourself great with numbers, analytical and able to use logic and problem-solving skills to find the relevant solutions
