Overview
Thunes is a global cross-border payments network that enables businesses and consumers to send and accept payments worldwide. We have built a proprietary global network, the "Smart Superhighway," to move money around the world. Our network connects directly to over 7 billion mobile wallets and bank accounts globally, along with 15 billion cards, via more than 320 different payment methods. This allows for real-time payments in over 130 countries and 80 currencies. We are seeking a dynamic and strategic Vice President of Sales to lead and grow our Americas sales organization. This is a unique opportunity to design and build a sales team from the ground up, and to shape the next-generation talent pipeline for Thunes in a market where we are making a significant investment. Thunes has recently raised $150 million in Series D funding. This funding, the largest in our history, will be used to fuel our US expansion. We have also obtained money transmitter licenses in all 50 US states, a key step that allows us to contract directly with US businesses for real-time international payments. Our goal is to leverage this momentum to establish a strong footprint in the US, serving fintechs, platforms, and financial institutions. This role is a combination of strategy, leadership, and operational execution, ideal for a proven commercial leader in payments who thrives in a fast-paced, innovative, and evolving scale-up environment.
