Inside Sales Manager (fmd) Fintech Startup with Serial Entrepreneurs

We previously co-founded and scaled Viafintech (Barzahlen) to more than 100 employees building one of Germanys leading FinTech companies with operations across 17 markets in Europe and the 2021 Viafintech was acquired by the NYSE-listed Paysafe Group in a three-digit million-euro transaction.

Finperks is our next venture.

Founded in summer 2025 Finperks is building a unified infrastructure for prepaid products including gift cards (e.g. Apple Amazon Google) airtime and eCash accessible through a single API. Our goal is to simplify a fragmented prepaid value chain and enable businesses to integrate and distribute prepaid products more efficiently.

Within the first months we have onboarded 700 brands and already built a solid customer base. The prepaid market is substantial with annual volumes of approximately 600bn today expected to grow significantly to 1.800bn by 2028.

By reducing the number of intermediaries and connecting brands more directly with clients Finperks aims to improve efficiency and global reach. While prepaid products are currently concentrated in developed markets we see long-term potential for broader global adoption including emerging markets.

We are a highly growing company with a current team of 8 people based in Berlin-Charlottenburg combining experienced team members from our previous company with new hires. We value ownership collaboration and a pragmatic low-ego working style.

Join us early and help build a sustainable global prepaid infrastructure.
