About Us

We're an award winning FinTech, most recently listed by the Financial Times as one of the top 10 fastest growing fintechs in Europe. Divido is a global software platform enabling lenders, retailers and payments processors to provide checkout finance to their customers. Divido is positioned as the enterprise software which enables multi-national banks and lenders to compete with early entrant BNPL pioneers and offer a more flexible solution to large international merchants.

Founded in 2014, Divido currently comprises 70 people based in a single office in London, although it services clients across 7 markets. In June 2021, Divido announced a $30mn Series B round that will be used to accelerate international expansion and product development. Divido is backed by a blend of high-calibre VCs (Dawn Capital, DN Capital) and strategic partners (HSBC Holdings, ING Ventures, American Express Ventures, Mastercard). Coupled with the significant financial backing received, the business is on the precipice of rapid growth and internationalisation.

Opportunity

Reporting to the CEO, you will be responsible for defining the go to market strategy, working closely with the rest of the Leadership Team (on which you will sit). You will drive the transition from a customer led sales approach with significant amounts of custom development to a market led proposition with a focus on repeatable, efficient revenue.

You will create a clear and compelling go to market vision which galvanises the sales organisation harnessing their skills and experience to take Divido forward. You will build trust and credibility with the existing ExCo, ensuring that all members are pulling in the same direction. You will also bring onboard new talent complimentary to Divido’s strategy, creating a team with a depth of expertise in enterprise go-to-market functions. In building this team, you will execute an effective compression of both sales and implementation lead times, bringing greater efficiency to Divido’s commercial operations.

Overall, you will be expected to bring further definition to Divido’s position within the BNPL/Checkout Finance space, and appropriately align the company around this. Through a relentless and execution-oriented approach you will ensure Divido builds upon its status as a global leader within retail-finance software solutions.
