Business Development Manager
Full Time
Remote
Job Description
Manage the full merchant acquisition cycle across LATAM — from sourcing and outreach to deal closing and transaction launch. Build and drive the sales pipeline for high-risk verticals (iGaming, Forex, crypto), negotiate commercial terms with decision-makers, and support clients through integration and Go-Live.
About the Client
Manitist is a payment infrastructure platform built for global merchants entering Latin America. It provides seamless access to the region's most widely used local payment methods — PIX, Boleto, OXXO, SPEI, local wallets, and crypto. The platform is designed for high-risk and complex industries: gaming, fintech, crypto, and digital goods. Beyond payment acceptance, it handles compliance out of the box — AML/KYC, local regulations, fraud monitoring, and AI-based risk scoring. The goal is simple: remove card dependency, simplify market entry, and unlock new revenue in LatAm without the usual infrastructure headaches.
