Senior Account Executive – Payments
About the Company
A fast-growing, FCA-regulated payments and commerce technology company with a strong international presence is looking for a Senior Account Executive to join its UK sales team. The business provides a broad range of payment solutions, technology and data-led services to merchants and partners across sectors including eCommerce, retail, travel, hospitality, financial services and FX.
This is a high-impact new business sales role, focused on winning Corporate merchants.
The Role
As a Senior Account Executive, you'll own the full sales cycle from identifying and prospecting high-value opportunities through discovery, solution design and negotiation, to closing and supporting the transition into account management. You'll be selling sophisticated payment and commerce solutions into businesses ranging from ambitious start-ups and scale-ups through to enterprise organisations. This is an opportunity for a commercially driven salesperson who enjoys opening doors, engaging senior decision-makers and turning complex payment challenges into compelling commercial solutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
