emote, APAC, Full Time, Individual Contributor, +8 years of experience

Founded by seasoned experts from the payments and tech industries, our technology provides access to leading payment capabilities, enabling companies to engage customers confidently and maintain global operations through seamless integrations.

We are orchestrating the best high-performing team!

We're looking for a Director of Sales & Business Development to drive our commercial expansion across APAC specifically within our Financial Services vertical. This is one of Yuno's key strategic growth bets, and this role sits at the center of it. You will own the full sales cycle with banks, acquirers and financial institutions, from first contact to closed deal and successful onboarding.

The financial services landscape in Latin America is evolving at an extraordinary pace. You will need to stay ahead of it, constantly researching the market, identifying where real opportunities exist for Yuno's payment infrastructure, and building strategies that convert insight into pipeline. At Yuno, we don't settle for average results. We expect people who set ambitious targets and then find a way to exceed them, even when the path isn't straightforward.

This role sits at the intersection of sales, relationship-building, and market intelligence within a highly specialized vertical. You will work closely with teams across Marketing, Product, and Customer Experience to ensure every client interaction is consistent, informed, and built for the long term. Collaboration across functions isn't a nice-to-have here — it's how complex deals in financial services actually get done. You will also be expected to bring client and market feedback directly into the product conversation, helping shape what we build based on what banks, fintechs, and financial players in the region truly need.

Yuno's financial services vertical is a strategic priority, not a supporting one. You'll work directly with senior leadership — including Mauricio Schwartzmann, Chief Financial Services Officer — to shape how Yuno positions itself with the region's most important financial players. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role: the deals you close and the alliances you build will directly influence Yuno's trajectory in one of the world's most dynamic payments markets.

If you thrive on ownership, move fast without losing precision, and get energized by opening doors in one of the most dynamic verticals in payments, this role was built for you.
