Strategic Channel Partners / Merchant Acquisition Partners — UAE
Skills
About This Role
Overview
Paywaz is seeking a small number of high-quality
Strategic Channel Partners / Merchant Acquisition Partners
to help introduce and onboard new retail, eCommerce merchants, cross-border businesses, platforms, and enterprise payment clients across the
United Arab Emirates and wider GCC market
.
This opportunity is well suited to experienced commercial operators, business development professionals, payments sales specialists, merchant services leaders, platform partnership professionals, and former team members from companies such as
Stripe, Adyen, Checkout.com, Network International, Amazon Payment Services, PayTabs, Telr, PayPal/Braintree, Airwallex, Shopify, and similar fintech, banking, merchant acquiring, or commerce infrastructure businesses
.
It is particularly relevant for individuals who understand merchant pain points, payment operations, cross-border commerce, ERP workflows, settlement friction, franchise operations, and the realities of modern commerce infrastructure across the UAE and regional GCC market.
The role
As a Strategic Channel Partner, you will help Paywaz identify, introduce, and support the onboarding of qualified merchants, platforms, and enterprise customers that are a strong fit for our payment and settlement infrastructure.
You will focus on opportunities across
eCommerce, cross-border commerce, enterprise payments, hospitality, retail, franchises, platforms, marketplaces, agencies, import/export businesses, and merchant-facing ecosystems
.
This is not a pure lead-generation role.
We are looking for partners who can help open the right doors, shape commercial conversations, support compliant engagement, and help drive qualified opportunities through to activation and live usage.
What you'll do
- Introduce and help onboard qualified merchant, platform, and enterprise customers
- Focus on eCommerce, cross-border, retail, hospitality, franchise, and enterprise payment opportunities
- Open doors with merchants, platforms, agencies, finance leaders, operators, payment teams, and commercial decision-makers
- Help drive activation and adoption, not simply top-of-funnel leads
- Support commercial momentum with well-qualified opportunities that align with Paywaz’s infrastructure, compliance, and growth priorities
- Help educate prospective merchants on payment cost reduction, faster settlement, improved cash flow, and modern stablecoin-enabled payment infrastructure
- What we offer
- Performance-based compensation
- Fixed onboarding bounty for successfully activated customers
- Profit share / commission on qualified live accounts
- Potential equity participation for the right long-term partners, subject to eligibility and documentation
- Opportunity to work with next-generation stablecoin payment infrastructure designed for modern commerce
- A focused, partner-led model rather than a high-volume sales organization
About Paywaz
Paywaz is building
zero-fee payment rails and stablecoin-powered infrastructure for modern commerce
.
We help merchants reduce processing friction, settle faster, improve cash flow, and maintain greater control over funds.
Our focus is not on building a large, high-volume sales force.
We are looking for a select number of capable commercial partners who can bring strong relationships, sound judgement, and high-quality opportunities across the UAE and wider GCC market.

contractor opportunity
