Account Executive

Payments is one of the fastest-moving corners of fintech, and NMI is right in the middle of it. We're hiring a Sales Account Executive to grow NMI's partner network — signing new ISOs, agents, next-gen ISOs and merchant account resellers across an assigned U.S. territory. This is a new-business role: most of your time will go to finding, qualifying and closing partnerships that don't exist yet.

You'll build and manage a pipeline of prospective partners, run your own outbound prospecting, and turn first conversations into signed partnerships that expand NMI's footprint. You'll own an assigned territory to bring new partners on board and set them up to succeed.

New business development is the core of this job. We'll set you up for it with a structured ramp that includes product and platform training, territory planning with your manager, and inbound leads to work while your outbound pipeline builds.
