About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Associate to build and execute the Sales strategy for US Pre-Sales Rx. You will work closely with internal stakeholders (Sales, Marketing, GTMT, Product, Finance, and more) to acquire, retain, and grow Merchants at scale. Responsibilities include developing go-to-market playbooks, revenue optimization, strategic plans to enhance productivity, process redesign, product roadmap and launches, resource allocation, and pipeline analytics. You will report into the Senior Manager of Pre-Sales S&O and sit at the center of our revenue generation engine, requiring prioritization and data-driven insights to ensure our teams work toward the right goals with the necessary tools.

Responsibilities

  • Build – develop and drive the future of US Pre-Sales Restaurant Acquisition.
  • Experiment – scope tests and experiments on everything from adoption to optimization.
  • Implement – drive tactical day-to-day operations and implement efficient improvements to optimize business impact.
  • Influence – work with Merchant, Product, Engineering, Operations, and Sales teams to scale business impact.
  • Map complex operational workflows, diagnose data gaps, and architect AI-driven solutions end-to-end—from process discovery through prototype to production deployment.
  • Build AI tooling (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) and ship real automation that eliminates manual work, closes visibility gaps, and accelerates decision-making across the business.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in consulting, strategy, business development, operations, technology, banking, analytics, or related experience with a track record of leading initiatives and hitting goals.
  • Strong cross-functional business experience, project management, and communication skills.
  • Comfortable working with large data sets and modeling in Excel/Google Sheets; advanced proficiency in SQL and well-versed in data visualization tools (e.g., Sigma, Tableau) to solve ambiguous problems.
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves and flex up or down as needed—"humble doer" mindset.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher.
  • Think in systems, not features; treat every broken process as a build opportunity and every data gap as a use case waiting to be deployed.
  • AI-native operating environment: expected to build, test, and iterate continuously.
