The Business Development Director will lead the next phase of growth: diversifying the portfolio, opening new verticals, and building a repeatable go-to-market motion for the region.

What we want to see

• A proven track record in a senior business development or sales leadership role, ideally having built and led a team before.

• Experience running complex, enterprise-level sales cycles and managing a complex, cross-border business environment.

• Local market knowledge of APAC (China and broader Asia-Pacific)

• A hands-on operator who is willing to lead from the front on individual deals while also building and executing a regional strategy.

Responsibilities

• Grow revenue through direct sales, finding and closing new brands across APAC.

• Expand geographic reach, building pipeline within the approved ICP in those high growth regions such as Latam, Africa, Middle East, South East Aisa, India…wherever EBANX already has infrastructure and operations.

• Build and own a structured activation playbook for newly signed merchants, working with internal teams to compress time-to-live.

• Achieve regional growth targets, including GP budgets and new activation targets.

• Protect pricing and take-rate discipline in negotiations, balancing volume growth with margin health.

• Upgrade the sales function by hiring and developing experts across key functions, increasing both the geographic and vertical spread of revenue.

• Represent EBANX and the APAC growth story to prospective merchants, partners, and internally to leadership.
