We are Vitesse – the treasury and payment partner of choice for insurance.

Your next adventure awaits!

Join the team who are redefining the payments space.

About Us

At Vitesse, we’re more than just a payments platform – we’re the trusted financial infrastructure connecting the global insurance ecosystem. Tailor-made for insurers, brokers, MGAs, and TPAs, our unified platform optimises claims funds, enables real‑time global payments, and delivers full financial control. Our impact is real: over $20 billion in payments across 200+ countries, hundreds of millions returned to insurers’ balance sheets, and counting. We’re licensed in the UK (FCA), Europe (DNB), and New York (NYDFS), with over 260 amazing colleagues worldwide. With $93 million recently raised in Series C funding from KKR, our journey is just beginning, and our ambitions are sky‑high.

Headquartered in the heart of London and expanding across Europe and the US, Vitesse is where your ideas power tomorrow’s insurance solutions. Are you ready to make a difference? You're in the right place.

THE CURRENT TEAM AND OUR MISSION

As a scale up, the engineering organisation will grow considerably by end FY24/25. To start, we adapted an existing platform to address a new market opportunity and prove our commercial thesis. With this achieved, we secured funding to support our expansion and have embarked on an ambitious scaling of our product engineering team that will rapidly evolve our platform using the latest cloud‑native and full‑stack technologies to achieve a leadership position in our selected markets. We seek ambitious product engineers (not just software developers) with experience in cloud‑native approaches that can shape our platform strategy and accelerate our product development plans.

This role provides an excellent opportunity to both learn and contribute to all aspects of a fast‑growing fintech company, within the payments sector and supporting major corporate clients within, amongst others, the Insurance and Financial Services sector.

The Role

Reporting into the VP of Customer Success, you will have the opportunity to lead our Carrier Customer Success team in delivering a material revenue growth target. You’ll do this by helping Carriers migrate more of their existing business onto Vitesse, demonstrating measurable ROI, and identifying qualified expansion opportunities in partnership with Sales.

As Vitesse typically starts with a focused footprint, you'll ensure your team understands each carrier's current position and growth potential. They'll build strong relationships from operational users through to senior executives, and mobilise the right people within Vitesse to realise it - all underpinned by deep adoption and strong customer health.

You’ll lead a team of CSMs while personally owning 1-3 strategic carrier accounts.

Core responsibilities

• Lead and coach a team of CSMs, building their skills in discovery, stakeholder management, and growth strategy
• Personally own and manage 1-3 strategic carrier accounts where senior stakeholders or growth potential require additional focus
• Partner with relevant stakeholders to map our current carrier current footprint and addressable potential, then drive frameworks that increase adoption and processing volume – both of which drive revenue growth
• Define and monitor customer health (adoption, usage, stakeholder strength, risk) to prioritize interventions
• Partner closely with Sales through a co‑owned account model - shared strategy, clear referral processes, and consistent visibility into customer health and growth potential
• Ensure strategic reviews connect current performance and customer outcomes with a clear plan for increasing Vitesse’s share of the carrier’s addressable business
• Build scalable playbooks, lifecycle frameworks, and performance metrics for the Carriers CS function
