Amsterdam, Netherlands
Posted on May 29, 2026
Flatpay is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in Europe. In just over three years, we’ve grown into a team of more than 2.000 colleagues, active across Denmark, Finland, Italy, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and since January also in the Netherlands.
Our mission is clear and powerful: to make card payments fair, transparent, and stress-free for small and medium-sized businesses. No complicated pricing, no hidden fees, no surprises - just one flat rate for all cards.
Employment type: Full-timeLocation: Amsterdam - onsite 5 days per weekResponsibilities
Lead the team commercially
- Set daily priorities based on commercial value — high-revenue at-risk customers come first
- Run weekly pipeline reviews across all at-risk cases and hold the team to clear outcomes
- As the team grows, so do you! You'd hire and develop Retention Specialists who operate with a sales mindset, not a service one
- Decide which cases are worth working — and deprioritise the rest
- Approve defensive commercial actions (rate adjustments, counter-offers) with clear criteria
- Ensure saves are commercially sound: not every customer should be retained at any price
- Enforce mandatory data capture
- Continuously improve tooling, workflows, and escalation paths
- Work with Sales, Ops, and Finance to close the loop on churn root causes
- Manage, onboard, and develop Retention Specialists who can run the floor, coach agents, and own their segment of the portfolio
- Set clear performance expectations for Retention Specialists and hold them accountable through regular 1:1s and pipeline reviews
- Develop Retention Specialists into strong commercial coaches — ensuring they can shadow calls, give structured feedback, and close the gap between top and average agents
- Build the bench: identify high-potential agents and create a pathway for them to grow into Team Lead roles.
How You'll Be Measured
Success in this role is measured in outcomes, not activity. You'll be held to:
- Save rate — % of worked at-risk cases resulting in a retained merchant, improving month-on-month
- ARR protected — monthly ARR saved by the team
- Active customer rate — portfolio-level % of active merchants
- Infancy churn rate — cancellations within the first 180 days
- Time to first contact — speed of outreach to at-risk signals
- Cancellation reason capture — 95%+ structured reasons recorded
- Rep performance spread — variance in save rates narrowing through coaching
- Confident running difficult commercial conversations — objections, competitor pressure, pricing
- Strong instinct for prioritisation: you know which conversations are worth having and which aren't
- Data-driven: you read pipeline metrics, spot problems early, and adjust your team's focus accordingly
- Structured and repeatable in how you work — you build processes, not just one-off wins
- Experience managing specialists or agents — you lead through others, not just directly
This role is perfect for you if you have:
- 2–4 years of experience in a retention, B2B sales, or commercial role where you have been part of or managed a commercial team
- Experience managing Team Leads or senior agents in a sales or commercial environment
- The ability to speak fluently in Dutch
- The right to work in the the Netherlands (visa sponsorship is not available for this role)
Uncapped earning potential: The more you sell, the more you earn.
Fast-track career growth: We promote from within, and we move fast.
Supportive culture: No politics, no bureaucracy – just good people building great things together.
International environment: Be part of a diverse, ambitious team across 6+ countries.
