Paystand is seeking a highly accountable, execution-driven Activation Manager to serve as the Single Point of Accountability for post-implementation activation, primarily supporting lighthouse and high-impact customers.
This role owns the critical phase between technical go-live and revenue realization, ensuring customers move from Activated to Processing (30% of their Processing Tier) as quickly and predictably as possible.
The Activation Manager does not perform technical implementation but drives the activation process end-to-end—ensuring customer accountability, enforcing internal SLAs, surfacing risks, and preventing stalls between go-live and value realization. This role provides clear visibility into blockers, ownership, and activation risk.
Additionally, the role will help design and operationalize AI-driven tools and workflows to improve activation speed, visibility, and scalability.
The initial focus is Paystand Core, with rapid expansion across the broader Paystand Group, including Bitwage, Teampay, and Yaydoo.

- Hold merchants and cross-functional teams accountable to commitments and outcomes.
- Support lighthouse and complex customers, navigating ERP and multi-stakeholder environments.
- Improve activation velocity through AI-driven workflows, automation, and scalable operating models.
- Ensure a clean, complete handoff to Customer Success with no unresolved activation issues.
- ~5 years of experience in activation, implementation, program management, or customer operations within SaaS or Fintech.
- Proven ability to drive outcomes through influence, structure, and accountability, not authority alone.
- Experience working directly with customers in post-sale, execution-heavy roles.
- Strong cross-functional operator comfortable escalating and making hard calls.
- Analytical mindset with comfort using data to assess risk and progress.
- Familiarity with ERP-based workflows and payments or financial systems is preferred.
