We are seeking a Travel Sales Lead to drive new revenue growth across DEUNA's travel vertical, focused on acquiring and expanding enterprise accounts in the travel industry — airlines, OTAs (e.g., Booking, Expedia), hospitality, and travel marketplaces. This is a quota-carrying role that combines new business acquisition with strategic account leadership, positioning DEUNA's payments platform to solve travel-specific payment challenges through complex, consultative, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.

Responsibilities:

• New Business Acquisition: Own the full sales cycle end to end — prospecting, qualification, negotiation, and close — to land new enterprise travel accounts.
• Travel Vertical Strategy: Build and execute account plans targeting airlines, OTAs, hospitality groups, and travel platforms, engaging multiple stakeholders up to C-level (CFO, VP of Payments, Head of Digital/E-commerce).
• Consultative Payments Selling: Position DEUNA's value around travel-specific payment needs — payment orchestration, multi-currency and cross-border processing, approval-rate optimization, fraud reduction, alternative payment methods, and checkout conversion across booking flows.
• 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.
• Quota Attainment: Meet and exceed assigned annual revenue targets for the travel vertical.
• 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.
• Compliance and Ethics: Ensure compliance with relevant payments and travel-industry regulations, industry standards, and ethical sales practices.
