This is a new business development role. That means you go find the customer — they don't come to you. If that excites you more than it intimidates you, keep reading. As a Field Sales Account Executive, you'll be the face of Yoco in your region — meeting merchants where they are, understanding how their businesses actually run, and showing them how Yoco can make things faster, simpler, and smarter. This is a field-based, new business development role that blends consultative selling with genuine curiosity about people and their businesses.

You'll be supported by an Area Lead who coaches you in the field, a Sales Enablement team that equips you with methodology and tools, and a marketing engine that handles brand and category education. You come to sell — Yoco has already made the case for why payments matter.
