Who is PayShepherd?

PayShepherd solves a massive problem for heavy industry (ie. mining, shipbuilding, forest products, pharmaceuticals, steel, chemicals, manufacturing, energy… etc) in the area of Vendor Relationship Management. Every year, heavy industry worldwide overspends 15% - 20% on their vendors as a result of nascent or non-existent vendor relationship management systems; we’re talking trillions of dollars in losses per year. This problem can’t be solved by humans because of the sheer number of complex transactions and the pace of the work. Supply chain issues, a labour shortage, high inflation and an energy crisis are compounding these losses greatly. These global industrial companies need to link organizational objectives set at the top, all the way to the person turning the wrench on the ground. This is why we created PayShepherd. We have closed a meaningful venture financing round, are growing very fast and are now ready for 100x.

About the role: 

We’re hiring for an experienced Sales Director,  Large Enterprise Accounts (aka a Mega-Dealer) to join our sales team.
