About the job
Flatpay is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe and was founded 3 years ago in Copenhagen with the mission to take the stress out of card payments for SMBs.
Businesses want to focus on what they do best; running their business. But monthly hardware fees, different rates for different cards, extra costs on every transaction and frequent price increases have made payments too stressful. That’s why we started Flatpay. One flat rate across all cards - that’s it.
We’re already more than 1,700 people across Denmark, Finland, Italy, Germany and France and recently launched in the UK.
What you'll do
Field Sales Executive – North East
£60k–£70k OTE | Uncapped Commission | Guaranteed Minimum £2,120/month
Flatpay is one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintech companies and we’ve recently launched in the UK. We’re growing quickly and hiring across multiple territories.
The Role
Location: North East England (field-based)
Territory includes: Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Middlesbrough, Stockton, Darlington and surrounding areas (shared across the team)
Employment: Full-time, permanent
This is a 100% commission-based role with uncapped earning potential. We offer a guaranteed minimum commission of £2,120 per month while you build your territory.
Typical earnings are £60k–£70k OTE, with higher potential for top performers.
You’ll be assigned a local patch within the North East, allowing you to build and manage your own area effectively rather than covering the full region.
Progression: High performers can progress into Territory Manager roles as we expand the UK business.
What you'll do
- Attend around 3 qualified meetings per day booked by the BDR team and close deals
- Generate additional deals through referrals and local canvassing
- Demonstrate Flatpay solutions and present tailored proposals
- Deliver and install terminals for newly signed merchants
- Build relationships with local SME owners
- Manage your pipeline and activity in the CRM system
Transport: Mileage reimbursed for personal vehicles and a RingGo parking account provided.

You’ll likely succeed if you:
- Are motivated by commission and results
- Enjoy speaking with people and building relationships
- Are organised and comfortable managing your own territory
- Take responsibility for your performance and want to progress
