Join us as one of the founding members of KPay's UK expansion. This role, potentially based in London or Manchester, offers a rare opportunity to help build a new market from the ground up. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy wearing multiple hats, and are passionate about driving go-to-market success, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.
Responsibilities:
- Zero-to-One Market Penetration & Expansion Execution: Own and execute KPay’s expansion strategy across high-growth UK verticals, regions, and commercial channels. Move rapidly from hypothesis to live market testing - carving out beachheads, winning early adopters, and driving measurable transaction volume from day one.
- Community Building: Actively build relationships with local partners, industry bodies, and merchants on the ground - evaluating, structuring, and formalising partnerships, while also building genuine community presence for KPay in the UK market.
- Commercial, Legal & Financial Structuring: Lead the analytical and structuring work behind new partnerships and expansion initiatives - reviewing contracts and commercial/legal terms, and building the financial case (unit economics, pricing models, business cases) for new opportunities.
- Playbook & GTM Framework Development: Turn findings and pilot learnings into clear, well-documented, repeatable playbooks and GTM frameworks/materials that the wider team can scale and execute against.
- Commercial Packaging: Help design commercially sound product/pricing structures tailored to UK SME segments, in collaboration with Product and Finance.
- Revenue Operations Setup: Help stand up core reporting and operational infrastructure (pipeline reporting, forecasting, commission structuring) as one of several functions this role helps set up in the early days.
- Cross-functional Coordination: Work closely with Product, Marketing, Finance, and Compliance teams (UK and HQ) to ensure the go-to-market plan is well-structured, executable, and compliant with UK regulations.
Requirements:
- Background in consulting, strategy, legal, corporate development, or research is a strong fit
- Strong commercial acumen - comfortable working through deal terms, contracts, and legal/regulatory considerations, and confident enough to negotiate them.
- Strong financial literacy - able to build and sanity-check unit economics, pricing models, and business cases for new opportunities.
- Excellent research and strategic thinking skills - able to independently identify and validate new market expansion opportunities from first principles.
- A genuine love of 0-to-1 building: energised by ambiguity, undefined processes, and being asked to figure things out rather than follow a playbook that already exists.
- Hardworking, highly committed, and willing to go the extra mile — this is a founding-team-style role, not a 9-to-5.
- Open to travel as needed.
- Growth mindset is required: passionate about finding right talent model, training and working with high performance team members
