- Account Growth & Retention: Lead expansion within existing travel accounts, identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities and building long-term strategic relationships.
- Pipeline Management: Build and maintain a healthy pipeline; accurately manage opportunities, ACV/TCV, and forecasting within the CRM.

- Market & Competitive Intelligence: Monitor travel-industry and payments trends, competitors, and regulatory shifts to refine positioning and identify opportunities.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with marketing, product, solutions engineering, and customer success to align on deal strategy and ensure smooth onboarding of travel clients. - Executive Reporting: Provide regular updates to leadership on pipeline health, forecasts, and strategic wins.
