The Inside Channel Account Manager will be assigned a large portfolio of small to medium-sized ISOs across the US and will be responsible for developing and executing inside channel sales strategies to drive revenue growth. Your primary objective will be to drive funding volume and profitability growth across sales verticals by developing and implementing targeted initiatives, negotiating favorable contract terms, and strengthening partner relationships. Responsibilities Portfolio Profitability & Revenue Growth: You will be held accountable for exceeding all key performance targets, including revenue, profitability, and funding volume. This involves managing the entire sales funnel for a high volume of accounts, identifying high-growth opportunities within the small ISO segment, and making data-driven decisions to grow your book across sales verticals while ensuring ISOs remain compliant with legal standards and regulations.

Sales Enablement and Support: Conduct regular remote sales training sessions and webinars for ISOs to enhance their product knowledge, sales skills, and understanding of the company's value proposition. This includes providing sales tools, marketing collateral, product updates, and pitching them on all of the benefits Forward Financing has to offer (i.e., API capabilities). Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ensure seamless ISO operations by collaborating with internal teams as needed to maintain ISO compliance, implement growth initiatives, and coordinate with operational teams.
