About the Company

Founded in 2016, SurePay is the leading account verification platform, relied upon by 250+ banks and thousands of organizations, to prevent fraud, misdirected payments, and reputational damage. Headquartered in Utrecht, we are scaling our platform and our team across Europe and beyond.

About the Role

SurePay is rapidly expanding across Europe, and the Nordics is our next growth frontier. Having successfully secured initial Tier-1 anchor accounts and strategic market partnerships, our primary focus is shifting from pure acquisition to account expansion and regional market dominance. While new business lands the initial partnership, your role is to step in, own, and systematically scale our top strategic accounts. You will manage a focused portfolio of key enterprise banking relationships across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland-unlocking cross-sell and up-sell opportunities for our Account Name Verification (AVS) and Fraud & Risk Indicators (FRI) solutions. You will be the face of Surepay for the Nordics market, ensuring our clients receive maximum value from our solutions while advising them on the evolving fraud landscape. Responsibilities include:
