Overview:

This is an individual contributor role.

We are looking for a driven and strategic Account Executive to join our Financial Services Sales Team , focused on North America. In this role, you will play a key part in accelerating our growth by both landing new enterprise logos and expanding relationships within our existing customer base . You will target major financial institutions — including banks, wealth managers, asset managers, insurers, and FinTechs — and act as a trusted advisor throughout complex sales cycles.

This is a hybrid role that requires equal strength in prospecting and acquiring new clients (“hunting in the wild”) and growing revenue from current enterprise accounts (“hunting in the zoo”).

Preferred locations include: Boston, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, New York, South Florida, Connecticut, and New Jersey

Who you are:

• 10+ years of enterprise software or SaaS sales experience, with at least 5 years focused on financial services clients in North America.
• Demonstrated success in both net new acquisition and expanding strategic accounts , with a history of meeting or exceeding quota.
• Deep familiarity with North American financial institutions — including their organizational structures, decision-making processes, and current challenges.
• Proven ability to build and nurture C‑suite and senior‑level relationships (CRO, COO, CTO, CMO, Head of Distribution, etc.).
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and negotiation skills; confident managing complex deals with long sales cycles.
• Highly motivated self‑starter with strong business acumen and a collaborative mindset.
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or equivalent experience preferred.

What you’ll be doing:

• Drive net new growth by sourcing and closing new business opportunities with North America's top financial institutions.
• Expand strategic accounts by identifying upsell and cross‑sell opportunities, building executive relationships, and increasing product adoption across business units.
• Own the full sales cycle — from pipeline development to closing — with a focus on long‑term value and partnership.
• Develop and execute tailored account strategies that align with the client’s business goals and challenges.
• Lead multi‑stakeholder engagements and collaborate internally with marketing, product, pre‑sales, and customer success teams to shape winning solutions.
• Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene, providing regular updates on territory performance and growth opportunities.
• Represent the company at key industry events and client meetings as a senior face of our financial services go‑to‑market team.

What you bring to the team:

• 7+ years of solution sales experience with a history of driving, managing and closing enterprise deals.
• Experience selling software (cloud/SaaS) to large, strategic global accounts.
• Proven ability to hit, or exceed sales quota.
• Ability to articulate value proposition to C‑Level, Sales and Marketing executives.
• Proven consultative sales solution skills in a SaaS/Cloud environment.
• Travel required, which consists of working with sales employees, attending business meetings, industry meetings or working with key customers.
