Job Description
At Trustly, we envision a world in which making account-to-account payments in an online retail environment is fast, simple and secure. Today, we support 29 European countries, and our payment solutions attract global merchants in four main segments: e-commerce, travel, financial services and online gaming. We process €5 billion in payments annually, and today we process more than 4 million monthly transactions.
We are a team of 215+ people and are headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with regional offices in Malta, Germany, Spain, and the UK. We are a young, dynamic and fast-growing company leading the development of the payments industry, and the work you’ll do here will make a great impact.
About the Partner Team at Trustly
The Partner Team is responsible for signing up and managing the growth of Trustly’s Partner Network, comprised of Payment Service Providers (PSPs) of all sizes who resell Trustly’s services to merchants. Trustly has recently made a strategic decision to invest significantly in the Partner channel, and is staffing up to bring on additional partners and to help these partners be successful at selling Trustly.
