Who We Are
Dealer Information Systems (DIS) is a marketleading provider of Dealer Management Software (DMS), serving Agriculture, Construction, Truck Refrigeration, and Lift Truck dealerships across North America. As part of the Constellation Software family, DIS focuses on building missioncritical, customercentric, and profitable software products that deliver measurable value to our customers.
The Role: Payments Initiative Manager
DIS is seeking a highly motivated and entrepreneurial Payments Initiative Manager to lead the commercialization of our DIS Pay solution. This role is ideal for a businessminded product leader with experience in the payments industry—particularly in credit card processing, payment facilitation, or embedded finance.
You will act as the “miniCEO” of the DIS Payments initiative, taking ownership from the early adopter phase through scalable commercialization. With the core software already built and early pilots beginning, your focus will be to directly drive customer acquisition, onboard initial dealerships, and refine the offering based on realworld feedback. You will be responsible for both selling and implementing the solution during the early stages — ensuring strong adoption and satisfaction.
Once key adoption and ARR milestones are met, you will help transition the solution to DIS’s core Sales, Installation, and Support teams for longterm scale. At that point, you’ll have the opportunity to lead the launch of additional highimpact initiatives within DIS.
