About the Role

As a SMB Growth Specialist you will play a critical role in accelerating Tamara’s merchant performance within the SMB segment—defined as merchants generating less than USD 5M annually. This role focuses on four key areas:

1. Activating non-transacting live merchants who have onboarded with Tamara but have not started generating transactions.
2. Re-engaging churned merchants who previously transacted but have stopped, with the goal of winning them back and restoring healthy transaction volume.
3. Growing Existing Merchants through marketing campaigns, upselling, and cross selling.
4. Improving retention of existing transacting merchants.

You will analyze growth opportunities, performance issues, identify blockers, collaborate cross-functionally to resolve them, and execute targeted growth interventions to improve merchant activation, retention, and revenue contribution.

(The role will be based in our Cairo offices)

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate with Technical Support, Product, and Risk teams to resolve issues preventing merchants from going live.
• Build and execute reactivation playbooks for churned merchants to recover revenue and improve merchant lifetime value.

• Maintain a structured pipeline of non-transacting and churned merchants, with clear action plans and outcomes.
• Use data and insights to recommend product enhancements or changes in operational processes.
• Prepare regular performance reports for internal stakeholders.

3. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Sales, Account Management, Support, Product, and Marketing to ensure merchants have everything needed to succeed.
• Provide feedback on merchant behavior and market trends to improve SMB-specific strategy and tooling.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Finance, Economics, or any related field.
