Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

We are looking for an experienced Platform Account Executive (AE) to help Affirm grow our market share by launching Affirm with platforms that partner with our key strategic payment partners. Platforms are a critical growth driver for Affirm, since winning a single platform can unlock access to hundreds - if not thousands - of potential Affirm customers, amplifying our reach and impact in the market.

Who You Are

You are a self-starter who is eager to learn, comfortable with ambiguity, and thrives in a challenging, fast-paced environment. This role is accountable for exceeding aggressive quotas, proactive deal management, forecast accuracy and driving Affirm adoption through platforms and will have a direct impact on top-priority, company-wide goals.

• Lead the development and refinement of our platform sales strategy, identifying emerging market trends and competitive threats
• Leverage market intelligence and industry insights to identify and capitalize on high-potential opportunities
• Develop comprehensive, competitive proposals that drive new business opportunities with platforms
• Successfully lead negotiations and related contract terms that create a mutually beneficial relationship
• Independently manage your sales pipeline according to best practices (detailed account plans, SFDC hygiene), ensuring to consistently meet and exceed quota
• Collaborate effectively and engage various pre- and post-sales cross-functional teams to successfully grow Affirm’s platform footprint (e.g. Pricing, Risk, Client Success, etc)
• Cultivate and maintain executive-level relationships with key decision-makers at global platform partners. Serve as a trusted advisor and thought leader, influencing strategic decisions and driving alignment
• Travel into defined territory quarterly to meet with and present to potential new platforms

What We Look For

• 7+ years of proven solution selling into enterprise-level strategic accounts with a strong track record in digital / financial products. Demonstrated expertise in platform ecosystems and strategic partnerships is essential
• Prior success building strong relationships with decision makers and C-level Executives, in large, complex organizations
• A successful track record in providing a point of view and thought leadership in the platform space, identifying key partner prospects and converting them into partner revenue streams
• Demonstration of a consistent ability to over-achieve quotas (top 10-20% of company) in past positions through complex sales cycles
• Possession of qualification skills to be able to recognize high value opportunities, prioritize time and effort, and eliminate distractions
• The ability to navigate internal cross functional teams, influence without authority, and align teams around a common goal
• Outstanding organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects / tasks concurrently
• Excellent communication, presentation, and active listening skills
