ROLE OVERVIEW
We are looking for a market-focused Merchant Acquisition Manager to identify, evaluate, onboard, and activate high-quality
preschool, daycare, and childcare-centre partners for the ProEves network. The role will build supply in locations required by
corporate clients and working parents, negotiate sustainable commercial terms, support quality and compliance checks, and
ensure each partner is ready to deliver a reliable parent experience.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Map childcare demand: Identify priority micro-markets based on corporate-client locations, employee demand, parent enquiries,
and gaps in the existing childcare network.
Build the partner pipeline: Source and approach preschools, daycares, crches, and other relevant childcare providers through
field visits, referrals, market research, and local networks.
Assess partner fit: Evaluate centre location, capacity, operating model, age groups served, service offering, parent experience,
and readiness to support corporate childcare requirements.
Coordinate quality checks: Work with internal teams to facilitate documentation, screening, safety and quality verification, and
any required physical or remote assessments before onboarding.
Negotiate commercials: Discuss fees, corporate rates, discounts, payment terms, service expectations, and partnership
conditions to create sustainable value for ProEves, clients, centres, and parents.
Complete onboarding: Drive partner documentation, contracting, profile creation, service details, commercial setup, and
readiness for listing or corporate-parent referrals.
Activate partners: Ensure newly onboarded centres understand the ProEves model, enquiry and admission process, parent
support expectations, reporting needs, and escalation channels.
Support corporate requirements: Source and activate suitable near-home or near-office childcare options for new and existing
client requirements within agreed timelines.
Maintain acquisition discipline: Update pipeline, centre status, commercial details, documentation, activation progress, and
market coverage in CRM, MIS, and internal trackers.
Enable a smooth handover: Transition activated partners to the relationship or operations team with complete documentation,
commercial context, and open-action visibility.
Track early performance: Monitor initial enquiries, admissions, responsiveness, and service issues to ensure acquired partners
become active and sustainable members of the network.
