Job description

We've partnered with a fast-growing SaaS platform fast becoming the credit and portfolio management system of record for institutional investors, to appoint an Account Executive across their New York client base.

This is not a lead-generation role, nor a seat where a built book gets handed to you. The mandate is clear: run a complex, long-cycle enterprise sales process end-to-end, build genuine relationships at C-level, and close. Applicants must bring direct experience selling into investment management firms, real fluency in credit markets, and a consistent, provable record of hitting quota.

Account Executive | Private Credit SaaS

The Position:

The appointed Account Executive will:

• Own the full sales cycle independently, from lead identification through close, across a defined portfolio of investment management prospects
• Build and execute account and territory plans, identifying and developing relationships with C-level decision-makers directly, not through a handoff
• Run structured discovery to build a value proposition specific to each prospect, not a generic pitch
• Partner with a solutions consulting function to deliver demonstrations, but own the commercial relationship throughout
• Manage commercial negotiations end-to-end, working directly with internal legal rather than handing off
• Maintain an accurate, disciplined forecast across a sales cycle that runs 6 to 9 months on average, sometimes longer
• Feed market and client insight back into the business as the US credit franchise grows

This is a self-directed, full-cycle sales role. It is not a fit for someone who needs a warm territory or a heavily supported pipeline.

The Applicant:

Successful profiles will be expected to demonstrate:

• 5+ years in enterprise software sales, with a track record of closing with large financial institutions and investment managers at C-level, this is non-negotiable
• Genuine domain experience within credit markets, not adjacent capital markets exposure
• A consistent, provable track record of hitting or exceeding quota every year, references will be checked
• Career stability, this business is looking for people who have stayed and delivered, not moved every 18 months
• The ability to operate autonomously without a heavily bureaucratic support structure, and the confidence to present to senior stakeholders solo

Depth and relevance of credit markets experience will be weighted more heavily than a generic enterprise SaaS background.

The Company:

Our client builds software used by institutional investors across private markets and credit, serving some of the sector's most sophisticated firms globally. The business is scaling its US commercial team and this hire is central to that growth.

• Genuine ownership of a defined book, not a shared or inherited pipeline
• Uncapped commission with a realistic path to significantly exceed base earnings for strong performers
• A business that values execution and quota discipline over noise
