The opportunity
We’re working with a fast-growing fintech/regtech company that is building the commercial engine behind a product regulated businesses increasingly can’t operate without. They’re hiring a Founding Account Executive to own the sales motion from early traction to repeatable growth.
You’ll sell to senior buyers in banks, payments firms, asset managers, insurers and other regulated businesses, where deals are complex, multi-stakeholder and won on trust and credibility. You’ll work directly with the founders and shape how the company goes to market, not just carry a number.
What you’ll do
- Own the full sales cycle, from first conversation to signature, across a mix of mid-market and enterprise regulated accounts
- Build and run your own pipeline through outbound, networks, partnerships and inbound
- Navigate long, multi-threaded buying processes involving compliance, risk, legal, procurement, InfoSec and the C-suite
- Run discovery that goes beyond features, and position the product around regulatory pressure, risk reduction and commercial outcomes
- Work closely with founders, product and customer success, and feed what you hear from the market back into roadmap and messaging
- Help build the playbook: ICP, pitch, pricing and packaging, objection handling, deal qualification and sales process
- Contribute to hiring and onboarding the next wave of commercial hires as the team grows
