Position: Head of Sales

Location: Bangalore

Working Days: Monday to Friday

Experience Required: 12-15 years The Role

As our Head of Sales, you’ll work directly with the founders to build and lead sales.

You’ll own the long-term sales strategy while staying close to execution - closing enterprise and mid-market deals, refining our ICP, shaping pricing, building playbooks, and deciding how we sell into complex, technical accounts.

As we grow, you’ll hire and develop the sales team. We’re looking for someone with exceptional judgment about people and a clear point of view on what a high-performing sales function should look like.

What you'll do

- Set the sales strategy. Define our ICP, positioning, pricing, sales motion, targets, and long-term go-to-market approach.

- Close complex deals. Lead negotiations across pricing, commercial terms, contracts, procurement, and legal while managing technical and business stakeholders.

- Build the sales organisation. Hire exceptional people, develop the team, and create the processes, incentives, and operating rhythm required to scale.

- Be the customer’s voice.



Bring structured insights back to product and engineering and help shape what we build next.

- Stay hands-on. This is a strategy-and-execution role. You’ll build for the long term while remaining personally involved in our most important deals.

What we're looking for

- You started your career as an engineer before moving into sales. This is a hard requirement.

- 12–15 years of experience, with a track record of closing complex enterprise and mid-market B2B deals.

- Early-stage experience building without a finished playbook, ideally as a founder or one of the first few sales hires.

- Experience setting sales strategy, hiring excellent people, and building high-performing teams - not just carrying a number.

- Strong technical and product instincts. Experience in payments and fintech is a significant advantage.

Why this role is interesting

- One of fintech's largest, most underserved categories. Real, painful problems.

- Direct access to founders. Real influence on product. Transparent path to build and lead the sales team.

- Meaningful equity. Founding team member - we treat the role that way.
