Paytm is a prominent Indian financial services company providing a comprehensive suite of payment, banking, and investment solutions for consumers and merchants.

Success in this position is measured by the ability to meet monthly revenue targets and acquire new merchant accounts.

About the Role We are looking for a high-energy, target-driven Key Account Manager focused primarily on hunting and bringing incremental business to the platform. This is a new-business acquisition role rather than a traditional account-maintenance role. Responsibilities Identify and acquire new merchants/accounts through outbound prospecting, market mapping, references, networking and other lead-generation channels. Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of qualified prospects and continuously convert prospects into live business. Own the complete sales cycle: prospecting, discovery, pitching, negotiation, closure and onboarding. Generate incremental business every month and take complete ownership of the revenue brought in. Develop strong understanding of the local market, competitor landscape and merchant opportunities. Create prospect-wise action plans to achieve monthly business targets. Follow up consistently and move opportunities through the sales funnel. Work with internal teams to ensure smooth onboarding and activation of newly acquired business. Maintain accurate sales pipeline, conversion and revenue reporting. Identify opportunities for repeat business and upselling after initial acquisition. Requirements Strong hunting/new-business sales background. Demonstrated history of personally generating incremental revenue. Comfortable with cold calling, outbound sales and repeated follow-ups. Strong prospecting, negotiation and closing skills. Highly target-oriented and motivated by performance-linked earnings. Able to build a territory and pipeline from scratch. Strong communication and presentation skills. Comfortable working with numbers and tracking business performance. Experience in F&B, hospitality, lifestyle, beauty, local commerce, advertising, or marketplace businesses is an advantage.
