As we expand rapidly across Europe, we are looking for a Business Development Manager with deep knowledge of the travel industry to help grow our footprint and deliver cutting-edge payment solutions to a variety of travel sector players. This is an exciting time to join SUNRATE as we scale our European proposition. You'll play a key role in building and owning strategic relationships within the travel ecosystem, helping us drive adoption across the region. You'll be part of a high-growth, fast-moving, and collaborative global team where your contributions directly impact our growth trajectory in Europe.

What you'll be spending your time on:

• Identify, prospect, and close new business opportunities across the travel sector in Europe.
• Position SUNRATE's payment and FX offerings as must-have solutions for travel companies with cross-border payment needs.
• Develop and execute a regional sales plan aligned with broader go-to-market strategies.
• Build long-term partnerships with Travel distributers of all kinds.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Legal, Risk, and Marketing to ensure a seamless client experience from onboarding to long-term growth.
• Provide market intelligence and feedback to inform product development and localization strategy in Europe.

Not a must but a great advantage:

• 5+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, or sales in the travel, fintech, or payments industries.
• Strong understanding of payment workflows in the travel sector (e.g. virtual cards, supplier payments, FX, collections).
• Existing network across European travel companies and platforms is a strong advantage.
• Excellent commercial instincts with a consultative selling approach.
• Proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to work independently and in fast-paced environments.
• Fluent in English; additional European languages are a plus.
