Job description

We’ve been a trusted partner to the world’s largest financial institutions for over a decade, with AI running in production at global banks including HSBC and Standard Chartered. We automate the compliance decisions that stop money laundering and terrorism financing - at scale, in production, on real cases.

Now we’re scaling our European footprint, and we’re looking for the person to lead it from Poland (our HQ is in Warsaw - you can be based anywhere in the country).

The Role

Reporting directly to our CEO, you’ll own the full go-to-market for Tier 1 and Tier 2 financial institutions across Europe - from pipeline to close.

This is a role for someone who lives on planes. You’ll be based in Poland and on the ground roughly 70% of the time with banks across the UK, DACH, Nordics, Benelux, and Southern Europe - building relationships, running deal cycles, closing.

What You’ll Do

• Drive multi-million dollar, multi-year deals through complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles across European markets
• Act as a strategic advisor to Chief Risk Officers (CROs) and Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs), aligning AI capabilities with their regulatory and risk priorities
• Build and close pipeline through extensive travel across Europe (~70%)
• Work with product and executive leadership to shape proposals that win
• Collaborate with our teams in Asia and the US on global accounts with European presence

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in enterprise sales, with 3+ years closing complex enterprise-grade software or high-stakes business solutions
• Experience selling into regulated financial institutions across multiple European markets
• Ability to make sophisticated AI commercially tangible for non-technical buyers
• Fluent: English & French or other European language is a plus
• Domain knowledge in AML, FinCrime, or RegTech a plus
• Based in Poland and comfortable with ~70% travel across time zones

What We Offer

• Base 30,000-45,000 PLN / month+ with commission accelerators above quota. Total compensation in the top quartile for European enterprise SaaS sales
• Senior-level equity grant with four-year vesting
• B2B contract paid time off that grows with you, and a quarterly wellness allowance added directly to your invoice
• Modern sales stack (Claude, Clay, Salesforce, ZoomInfo) and a platform that already works - AI in production at Tier 1 banks, so you’re selling something real
• A seat at the table - direct access to the CEO, a real voice in shaping European go-to-market strategy

Process

• Intro with People Ops - 30 min
• Business Operations Review with COO Julia- 30 minutes
• Sales strategy conversation with our EMEA Team Sales Lead Pia - 30 min
• Panel presentation, enterprise case study - roughly half a day of prep, 60-minute presentation (Sales Lead & CEO)
