[Hiring] Direct Sales Payment Consultant @U.S. Bank National Association

Role Description

Our growing team is seeking Direct Sales Representatives located across the Southwestern U.S., including Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. While this is a home-based role, travel is required.

As a Direct Sales Payment Consultant within the Merchant Payment Services (MPS) division, you will serve as a highly motivated outside sales professional responsible for:

• Acquiring new merchant clients
• Developing strategic relationships
• Growing market share within your assigned territory

This is a true hunter role, requiring an individual who thrives on creating opportunities, prospecting for new business, and building a pipeline through persistent business development efforts.

The Direct Sales Payment Consultant will approach the territory like an entrepreneur—building a business, creating a personal market presence, and taking ownership of results. The role offers the freedom to pursue opportunities across:

• Retail
• Restaurant
• Healthcare
• Service-based businesses

You will develop trusted relationships with local owners and decision-makers, generating momentum through:

• Cold calling
• Networking
• Community involvement
• Referrals
• Strategic partnerships
• Direct in-market engagement

While the majority of the pipeline will be self-sourced, consultants are supported by the strength, credibility, and resources of U.S. Bank, creating additional opportunities to identify needs, introduce broader solutions, and win business.

The ideal candidate combines a hunter's mindset with a consultant's approach, pairing a relentless pursuit of new business with the ability to understand customer needs and deliver tailored payment solutions that help clients grow.
