  • Lead the exploration of new use cases by thoroughly understanding user needs and experiences, demonstrating how Onbe’s solutions can deliver value in high-impact verticals.
  • Initiate and guide comprehensive research within focus verticals to identify trends, opportunities, and competitive landscapes, further advising strategic positioning and partnering with teams across the organization.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Marketing, Product, Solutions, Legal/Compliance, Delivery, and FinOps) to refine product constructs, value propositions, and positioning, contributing to cohesive go-to-market playbooks.
  • Develop a point of view on risk-based approaches based on the competitive landscape and market dynamics.
  • Provide market context and data-driven insights to influence the product roadmap and develop segment-specific positioning and messaging, submit ideas for high-impact candidate initiatives and maintain long-term solution roadmaps.
  • Partner with Sales to identify and design high-potential partnerships and channel strategies to support growth in focus verticals.
  • Develop flexible pricing strategies in partnership with the Pricing team, while reporting on strategic critical metrics to supervise vertical performance trends.

Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of experience in sales, product, business strategy, or customer-facing roles, ideally in payments or FinTech.
  • Consistent track record in identifying new growth opportunities and vertical expansion.
  • Strong blend of technical and eye for business, capable of navigating discussions across various levels of an organization.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and concisely.
