Summary Generated by Built In

Hello. We’re Teya.

Teya was founded on a simple belief: local businesses deserve better.

They are the cafés, restaurants, salons, shops and entrepreneurs that bring character to our high streets, create jobs and keep communities moving. Yet for too long, financial services has made life harder for them - with clunky tools, poor support and complexity that gets in the way of running a business.

Teya exists to change that.

We’re building a financial platform for local businesses across Europe - one built around simple tools, thoughtful design and real human support. Our Members rely on us to help them run their business with confidence, and that responsibility shapes the way we work.

We move fast. We care about quality. We stay close to the detail. And we believe great performance and genuine hospitality should go hand in hand.

If you want to build meaningful products, solve real problems and make a genuine difference for local businesses, we’d love to hear from you

This role will own both Key Accounts and Partnerships locally, combining people leadership with hands-on commercial ownership of strategic merchants and partners.

  • Identify and drive growth opportunities, improve retention, and optimize portfolio profitability through regular business reviews and commercial initiatives

  • Establish and nurture strategic partnerships that strengthen Teya’s market position and create mutual value

  • Coach the team, maintain high commercial standards, and use data-driven insights to guide decisions and track performance

What we are looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in outbound sales, business development, or partnerships, preferably in the fintech or technology sectors

  • Previous people leadership experience, ideally in a sales, account management or partnership environment

  • Proven ability to manage and grow complex commercial relationships

  • Strong commercial judgement, negotiation skills and ownership mindset

  • Confidence working across multiple functions and influencing stakeholders at different levels

  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

  • Strong analytical skills and comfort using data, portfolio insights and commercial metrics to drive action

  • Excellent communication skills in Hungarian and English

  • A practical, structured and proactive way of working

The Perks

  • All You Can Move Sport Pass (XL)

  • Szép Card (Gross 450.000 HUF yearly)

  • Private health insurance

  • 3 extra mental health days yearly

  • Free monthly public transport passes or garage space at the office

  • Office snacks every day

  • Friendly, comfortable, and informal office environment in the heart of Buda

  • Flexible working hours, as long it suits both you and your team

  • Possibility to work in an international environment with colleagues all around the world
