Enterprise Account Executive - Financial Services (SaaS &...

Linedata is seeking a sophisticated Enterprise Account Executive to spearhead our growth within the Banking and Financial Services (BFSI) sector. This is a high-impact role requiring a dual-threat sales professional: someone equally comfortable positioning SaaS solutions and technology leveraged long-term Managed Services (strategic outsourcing/infrastructure).

The ideal candidate understands that financial institutions don't just buy software; they buy security, reliability, and transformation. You will be the primary architect of high-value partnerships, navigating the "long game" of enterprise procurement to deliver solutions that modernize the core of global banking.

Key Responsibilities:

• Tailored Solution Selling: Expertly pivot between selling high-velocity SaaS platforms and high-touch, long-term Managed Services agreements, depending on the client’s operational maturity.

• Banking Domain Mastery: Navigate the complex hierarchies of Tier-1 and Tier-2 financial institutions, building relationships with C-Suite executives (CIO, CTO, CRO) and key procurement stakeholders.

• AI Transformation: Act as a thought leader by positioning AI Software Services as a critical lever for operational efficiency, risk mitigation, and personalized banking.

• Strategic Account Planning: Develop and execute 12–24 month account strategies that account for the rigid regulatory and compliance requirements of the finance industry.

• Deal Orchestration: Lead the charge on complex RFP/RFI responses, coordinating with legal, security, and technical teams to ensure "bank-grade" solution delivery.

Requirements:

• 8-10 Years of Experience: Proven track record in high-ticket B2B technology sales, with at least 7 years dedicated to the Financial Services vertical.

• The "Dual-Track" Skillset: Demonstrated success in selling both recurring software licenses (SaaS) and complex service-led engagements (Managed Services/Consulting).

• Closing Power: Evidence of consistently hitting or exceeding multi-million dollar annual quotas and closing deal sizes ranging from $500k to $5M+.

• AI Expertise: Prior experience selling AI/ML services, automated underwriting, or algorithmic fraud detection software.

• Cloud Knowledge: Familiarity with hybrid-cloud environments and data residency issues specific to global banking.

• Active Network: A strong existing network of contacts within major banking enterprises.

• Excellent Communication: Ability to translate complex AI and cloud concepts into tangible business outcomes for non-technical executive stakeholders.

Compensation & Benefits:

The on-target earnings (OTE) for this role are expected to range from $240000 to $340,000+, including base salary and variable compensation, with significant upside through uncapped commissions. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, track record, and market expertise.

Your total compensation includes:

Base salary

Sales commissions (variable, performance-based)

Comprehensive benefits: health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and wellness programs
