Jobbeschreibung

Polixis is a Swiss RegTech leader delivering advanced SaaS and DaaS solutions to the Risk & Compliance sector. The company operates one of the world’s most comprehensive datasets on UBO / Shareholding, sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and financial crime intelligence.

This proprietary dataset represents a structural data moat—strategically critical AML data that is difficult and uniquely positions Polixis to power next-generation, AI-driven compliance solutions.

Recognised among Switzerland’s Top 20 Fintechs, the Global FinCrime Top 50, Best PEPs and Sanctions Solutions 2025 and by the Financial Times’ Sifted as one of Europe’s Top Bootstrapped Companies to Watch, Polixis continues to scale its footprint across regulated industries.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Sales Executive (Mid–Senior level) to drive new business across Switzerland and the EU. This role is suited to a commercially driven professional with an established network within the Risk & Compliance ecosystem, particularly across banking, financial services, and industrial sectors.

You will own the full sales lifecycle, from strategic prospecting through to deal closure, while contributing directly to Polixis’ expansion in key European markets.

Territory Scope

The role operates within a flexible geographic structure, with a primary commercial focus on German-speaking markets (German speaking Switzerland, Germany, Austria). At the same time, the territory is not strictly limited—there is scope to pursue and develop opportunities across the broader EU and, where relevant, global clients. This structure is designed to maximize individual network leverage while aligning with Polixis’ international growth strategy.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary with performance-based commission
• Flexible working model (Zurich-based or remote within Switzerland)
• Opportunity to represent a high-quality Swiss data product with global reach
• Exposure to a fast-growing RegTech company with strong market recognition
• Collaborative and international working environment

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a targeted sales strategy across Switzerland, DACH, and broader EU markets
• Leverage an existing network within Risk & Compliance to generate qualified opportunities
• Deliver tailored product demonstrations and value propositions
• Manage the full sales cycle: lead generation, pipeline management, negotiation, and closing
• Build and maintain long‑term client relationships to support retention and upsell
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, data, and customer success teams
