Founding Sales & Discovery Lead, US Retail
About the role
TaktPay is an early-stage platform focused on the retail market, and we're now looking for someone who can help us get closer to retailers, understand their real problems, and turn those conversations into our first pilots. This is not a traditional sales job with a finished playbook.
What you'll do
- Identify and reach out to relevant US retailers
- Run customer discovery and qualification conversations
- Test and refine our positioning and messaging
- Build relationships with early adopters
- Convert strong opportunities into pilot customers
- Help shape the commercial strategy as we learn
Who you are
We are looking for someone who is comfortable operating in an early-stage environment where the product and go-to-market approach are still evolving. You might be a good fit if you:
- Have experience selling to or working with US retailers
- Are strong at outbound sales and opening doors
- Know how to run genuine discovery conversations, not just pitch
- Enjoy figuring out what customers actually need
- Are comfortable working independently and creating structure from ambiguity
- Want to have a meaningful role in building something early
Practical details
- 📍 US-based
- ⏱ Initially part-time or fractional
- 💰 No fixed salary at this stage
- 📈 Compensation through equity and success-based commission
- 🚀 Potential to grow into a significant commercial leadership role as TaktPay gains traction
This is best suited to someone who already has an income base and is looking for an entrepreneurial opportunity alongside their existing work, or someone actively looking to join an early-stage company at the very beginning. The first goal is simple: talk to the market, find the strongest use cases, and secure our first serious retail pilots.
