What You Will Do
We are currently seeking a sales hungry, customer oriented and detailed thinking Business Development Associate to join our Partner Success Team in Helsinki. You will be working with a portfolio of integrated mid to enterprise sized strategic merchants as their main business partner at Klarna.

  • Working as a Klarna payments expert and named account owner to dedicated merchant partners. Offering consultative support to your portfolio.
  • Building an in-depth understanding via relevant analysis about your portfolio merchants' businesses, and collaborating with them on a daily/weekly/quarterly basis in identifying optimization and growth opportunities.
  • Actively engaging with your portfolio merchants' stakeholders (including c-suite) to build and maintain relationships and to secure merchant satisfaction.
  • Identifying new partnerships or business opportunities, pitching Klarna's services, building business cases and closing deals.
  • Working closely with internal analysts, delivery, product and marketing teams at Klarna to drive partnership optimization, lead generation and problem solving.
  • Engaging as an active member of the Partner Success Team in Helsinki and the larger Klarna organization with the ambition of committing and delivering upon mutually agreed targets and ways of working.

Who You Are

  • 3+ years of relevant experience in Business Development, Account Management, or Sales, and a track record of succeeding in these roles.
  • An ambition to grow and develop yourself professionally and to achieve mutually agreed targets.
  • An analytical and detailed thinking mindset.
  • Strong communication, and convincing presentation and negotiation skills.
  • Solid organizational skills and the willingness to keep up with dynamic ways of working.
  • Ability to work independently and drive the success of your managed merchants in a fast-paced working environment.
  • Fluency in Finnish and English.

Awesome to Have

  • Prior experience in payments, eCom, retail or tech.
  • Experience working in a global company or with international partners.
  • Familiarity with CRM tools and sales management software.
