The Role
Referment is working with a global payments-technology business that gives merchants and payment providers access to local payment methods across international markets. It is looking for an experienced partnerships professional to manage and develop some of the relationships that underpin its global payment network.
This is a senior, hands-on commercial role within a global payment partnerships team. You will own important relationships with payment-method providers, card networks, acquirers and financial institutions, while bringing product, engineering, sales, legal and compliance colleagues together around partner-led initiatives. The remit combines relationship management, negotiation, commercial analysis and delivery across regions.
Manage and grow strategic payment partnerships across multiple markets and cultures. Lead or support complex commercial and contract negotiations, aligning both parties around workable long-term outcomes. Coordinate cross-functional initiatives with Product, Engineering, Sales, Legal and Compliance from opportunity through delivery. Use partner and market performance data to identify opportunities to increase revenue, improve payment performance or optimise cost. Bring clear commercial insight into planning and strategic decisions. Represent the business in industry forums, regulatory discussions and senior partner meetings. Contribute to cross-regional projects and share knowledge across the wider partnerships organisation.
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.

The role follows a hybrid pattern with an expectation of three days each week on site. That makes it best suited to someone able to work regularly from the London office while maintaining relationships across a global partner base.
This could suit a senior partnerships, acquiring or payment-methods professional who wants end-to-end responsibility for commercially important relationships and the initiatives built around them.
