Our partner is a well-established fintech offering business banking and corporate card products built for high-growth startups. The company is in a hyper-growth phase, recently exceeded its sales goals every month last year, and just posted its biggest quarter ever. The sales culture is built for self-starters who thrive in ambiguity, build their own playbook, and love being out in the startup community rather than stuck on back-to-back video calls.
The Opportunity
This is a relationship-driven Senior Account Executive role, not a traditional SaaS sales seat. You will drive new client acquisition primarily through in-person networking, building relationships with founders, investors, and operators at dinners, events, and community gatherings. Deals come from warm relationships and referrals rather than cold sequences, and you will own the full arc from relationship to close, working closely with implementation and account management teams on onboarding.
Compensation is uncapped and tracks across multiple quarters, so strong, competitive performers can earn substantial upside quickly.
