Job Description

We are now expanding into Canada in a major way. Checkout.com has recently become a direct acquirer in Canada, and 2026 marks a strategic inflection point for our business in the region. To build on our global performance and unlock the next phase of growth, we are hiring founding Enterprise Sales Executives to establish and scale our presence in Toronto.
As part of this early team, you will play a defining role in shaping our go-to-market motion, winning flagship Canadian merchants, and building the foundation for Checkout.com’s long-term success in the market.

Engage consultatively with merchant leaders, deeply understanding their payments, risk, and operational challenges to propose tailored, high-impact solutions.
Act as deal captain: coordinate cross-functional resources (performance, solutions engineering, risk, legal), build quantitative business cases, and drive opportunities forward with clear, strategic leadership.
Lead complex negotiations, manage objections, and consistently bring high-value, multi-product deals to closure.
Operate with ownership: track and analyze performance metrics, continuously refine strategy, and help shape our local GTM playbook.
Represent Checkout.com in-market, helping to raise our profile, develop merchant relationships, and contribute insights to our global teams.

Deal Leadership: Strong executive presence and comfort leading complex, multistakeholder Enterprise deals with C-suite engagement.
Learning Mindset: You actively seek feedback, iterate quickly, and adapt your strategy based on results and evolving conditions.
Relationship Building: Exceptional ability to build trust with senior merchant stakeholders and nurture long-term partnerships.
Operational Excellence: Highly organized, strong at prioritizing, and effective at managing large deal cycles with multiple moving parts.
Communication: Clear, compelling written and verbal communication skills.
