Hello! We're Teya.
Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.
At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities.
We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses with a fighting chance against the giants of the high street.
We’re here because we see banks and legacy service providers making things harder for them. We don’t think the best technology or the best service should be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters.
We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.
Become a part of our story.
We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. We offer a chance to create impact in a high-energy and connected culture, while benefiting from continuous learning opportunities, a supportive community which is proud to serve our mission, and comprehensive benefits.
About the role
As a Sales Trainer, you'll own the foundation every new Independent Sales Consultant (ISC) is built on. When someone signs up to partner with Teya, you're the person who turns them from a new joiner into a capable, confident seller who's genuinely bought into what we're doing – and set up to build a long-term business with us, not just make an early sale.
This is a training role at its core. You'll spend your time in front of new cohorts and working with ISCs individually: getting them to understand and sell the Teya value proposition, grasp the ecosystem Teya gives merchants, and become confident, fluent users of our process and tools. You've sold payments yourself, and that credibility matters – but the job now is developing sellers, not being one.
You'll be part of the enablement function, embedded within the Independent sales channel, reporting to the Sales Enablement Manager.
What we're looking for:
This role is much more about who you are, not what you've previously done.
Experience selling payment solutions or merchant services – preferred not required. Whether you have it or not, you know what a good deal looks like and what a good sales process is.
A genuine trainer and facilitator. You can hold a room's attention and understand the art of building engagement.
Someone who can develop people one-to-one – reading where an individual is, meeting them there, and building their capability and confidence from that point.
Someone people buy into. You instil motivation and belief, and ISCs leave your sessions more invested in Teya than when they arrived.
Adaptable. Some ISCs come with years of experience, others are new to the industry – you adjust your approach to get the best from both.
Sound judgement. You can tell when someone's genuinely ready, and you're honest and fair when they're not.
What you'll be doing
Developing sales competency
Get every ISC to understand and confidently sell the Teya value proposition and the ecosystem we give merchants.
Train ISCs on our process and tools until they're fluent, confident users.
Instil the standard from day one: the right customers, priced correctly. It's not about volume alone – ISCs need to bring in merchants who'll stay and transact, at pricing that works for them and for Teya.
Take ISCs from wherever they start to a point where they can hold their own in front of a customer.
Facilitating strong training
Deliver engaging, high-energy cohort sessions that ISCs actively want to attend.
Tailor what you teach to what each group in front of you actually needs.
Developing ISCs individually
Run focused 1:1 sessions that build individual capability, sharpen skills, and keep ISCs moving.
Spot who's finding their feet and who's struggling, and adjust your support accordingly.
Building belief and buy-in
Be a motivating, encouraging presence ISCs want in their corner.
Give every ISC a strong reason to invest in Teya for the long term – so they don't just get their first sale, they build a business with us.
Working across the channel
Work closely with recruitment to give feedback on the ISCs coming through and help sharpen who we bring in.
Partner with the Sales Managers on a clean handover, so the people taking each ISC forward have a clear picture of where they are.
The Perks
Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass giving free access to over 1,500 gyms in the UK, 1-1 therapy, meditation sessions, digital fitness and nutrition apps
Extended and improved maternity and paternity leave choices, giving employees more flexibility and support
