Overview:
This is an individual contributor role.
We are looking for a driven and strategic
Senior 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”).

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.
