Sitting within the Singapore payments B2C team, you will be the primary relationship owner for CardUp's high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth clients (UHNW) individuals who pay S$500,000 or more a year through CardUp and will be accountable for growing the volume this segment brings to the business.

For these clients, service matters more than anything else. You will deliver white-glove account management from bespoke pricing and onboarding to compliance facilitation while actively growing the book: acquiring net new HNW users through your own network, outbound and inbound channels; expanding existing users into new payment types; and winning back users who have lapsed.

This role is ideal for a relationship manager with a hunter's instinct , someone who delivers a premium client experience and is energised by owning, and beating, a clear set of growth targets.

What will you do:

1.  White-Glove Management of CardUp HNW Users

• Serve as the dedicated relationship manager for existing and newly acquired CardUp HNW clients, delivering a premium, high-touch service experience.
• Price new requests and renewals in accordance with the CardUp HNW pricing framework, exercising sound commercial judgement to balance client satisfaction with business objectives.
• Own the end-to-end onboarding process for HNW accounts — from initial account setup and payment configuration through to go-live.
• Proactively facilitate compliance and KYC approvals, liaising with internal teams to ensure a seamless and timely experience for clients.
• Build deep, long-term relationships with HNW clients, acting as their trusted point of contact, anticipating their needs before they arise, and safeguarding retention of the book.

2.  Acquire New CardUp HNW Users

• Originate net new HNW users from your own professional and personal network, and through proactive outbound prospecting.
• Own and convert inbound HNW leads, working with the marketing team to qualify demand and shape targeted campaigns for this segment.
• Tap referral channels — including Funding Societies' investor base and relevant partners such as wealth advisors and family offices — to open warm introductions.
• Drive acquisition conversations from initial qualification through to onboarding, maintaining an exceptional client experience throughout.

3.  Grow Volume and Win Back Users

• Upsell existing HNW users to additional payment types — such as tax, property, insurance, education and other large recurring expenses — to increase each client's annual payment volume.
• Build account plans for priority clients, mapping their full range of eligible payments and the rewards opportunity CardUp can unlock.
• Identify and re-engage users who have lapsed following recent pricing changes, using the HNW pricing framework and a premium service proposition to win back their volume.
• Track and report on pipeline, acquisition, upsell and win-back performance, feeding client insights back to marketing and product to sharpen targeting and the HNW proposition.
