Vice President of Business Development
💼 Position: Head of Business Development (North America)
Storm2’s client is building the next generation of global payments infrastructure.
For 70+ years, Visa and Mastercard have dominated with a closed, private network. Today, this client is rewriting the rules, using blockchain to create a compliant, fraud-free, and fully interoperable cross-border network.
They’ve already processed tens of millions of transactions with zero fraud, and are backed by some of the best-known VC firms.
Why this role & Why Now
- Scale: 1.5B+ in network reach, 100M+ merchants, and 70M+ users via PayPay Japan.
- Zero Fraud Advantage: Legacy credit cards run ~1.5% fraud rates, costing merchants 2–3% per transaction. This network has eliminated fraud entirely, opening the door for near-zero fee payments.
- Stablecoin Innovation: Unlike Circle, they’re multi-currency stablecoin.
- Geopolitical Edge: Blockchain removes reliance on single corporations or governments, ensuring payment continuity even in high-risk international scenarios.
What you’ll do:
- Lead market expansion in NA
- Drive engagement with target accounts and lead the full sales cycle
- Build strong relationships with C-level execs, partners, and influencers
- Position and sell their products and services around customer pain points
- Lead complex B2B deals from the first conversation through close
- Work hands-on in a fast-moving startup environment
What we’re looking for:
- 10+ years in enterprise sales / BD (specific knowledge of credit cards, mobile payments, and cross-border payments)
- Strong understanding of payment acceptance methods (QR, NFC, etc.)
- Proven experience working with credit card networks such as Visa, MasterCard, and AMEX, and a deep understanding of the payment ecosystem
- A true hunter with experience selling fintech / payments / OSS-BSS / blockchain to big enterprises
- Track record of closing 7-figure+ deals and running long, complex enterprise sales cycles.
- Highly persuasive and skilled at building strong relationships
- Willingness to travel internationally
