Role overview
The Revenue Optimisation Manager owns the initiatives that protect and grow revenue from Planet's existing customer and partner base. You will hold a continuous view of the key revenue KPIs — with Signing-to-Revenue (S2R), Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) & TF conversion at the centre — identify where value is leaking or upside is unclaimed, size and prioritize the interventions, and drive them to a measured result through owners across the business.
This is not a reporting role. Where analysis is needed you will commission or build it; where a decision is needed you will bring the evidence and secure it. Success is measured in revenue delivered and protected, not in dashboards produced.
What you'll do:
Centralize and own the revenue initiative portfolio
- Build and maintain a single prioritized backlog of revenue initiatives across all products, channels and geographies.
- Size every initiative on in-year and annualized revenue impact, effort and confidence, and sequence the portfolio on that basis rather than on who shouts loudest.
- Secure a named owner and a clear next step for every live initiative, and hold those owners to delivery through a regular, visible cadence.
Keep an always-on view of the key revenue KPIs
- Define and maintain the core revenue KPI set
- Work with Dashboards & Analytics to hold those KPIs in a standing, self-serve view that refreshes automatically rather than being rebuilt each month – enable key stakeholders to self serve
- Own the commentary behind the numbers — what moved, why, and what is being done about it — and turn it into concise updates for commercial leadership.
Turn insight and AI into commercial action
- Work with the AI team to build the tools required to drive revenue growth
- ow success will be measured
Who you are:
- Demonstrable experience driving revenue or margin improvement in payments, fintech or a similarly commercial B2B environment — owning outcomes, not only reporting them.
- A strong commercial and analytical mind: comfortable sizing an opportunity, building a business case, and challenging a number that does not look right.
- Track record of running a portfolio of initiatives to completion through people who do not report to you, with the credibility and persistence that requires.
- Excellent stakeholder management across Sales, Product, Finance, Operations and Technology, including at senior level and across multiple geographies.
- Clear, concise communicator who can turn a complex picture into a short recommendation an executive audience can act on.
Nice to have:
- Direct experience in the payments / Fintech space
- Exposure to pricing strategy, rebate structures or deal desk governance.
