**Own enterprise revenue in Mexico. Build the program. Win the market.** We’re hiring a Country Manager to own Niva’s business in Mexico end-to-end, with a primary focus on enterprise sales to banks, fintechs, telcos, and large marketplaces.

You will be the face of Niva in Mexico, responsible for landing and expanding our largest customers, building deep executive relationships, and creating the enterprise go-to-market engine that will power the majority of our revenue. Mexico is Niva's first market so this role is critical to the success of the company. ## **About Niva** At Niva, we’re building a universal identity layer that enables trust between businesses worldwide.
