The round was backed by FT Partners, Y Combinator, LocalGlobe, QED, 13books, and other top global investors.

The Role:

The Account Executive will lead new business for Model ML in the US across banks, advisory firms, private equity and asset managers. You’ll set the US sales strategy, own the full sales cycle from lead generation to signed contract, and help build the US sales team as we scale.

Responsibilities:

• Build and own a pipeline of new logos across private equity firms, investment banks, asset managers and consultancies.
• Develop and run the sales strategy for the US region.
• Build relationships with senior decision-makers and key industry stakeholders.
• Run enterprise sales cycles through procurement, legal and security review.
• Bring in product specialists for demos and pilots, then close.
• Work with Coverage, Product and Engineering to give clients a seamless experience, and bring client feedback back to the product.
• Represent Model ML at industry events and conferences to build the brand and generate leads.
• Forecast accurately and hit a quarterly number.

Requirements:

• Excellent communication, organisation and interpersonal skills.

Nice to have:

• Startup or early-stage sales experience, ideally scaling a sales function in a venture-backed company.
• An earlier front-office career in banking, private equity or tier-1 consulting.
• MBA from a top business school.

What you can expect:

• It won’t be easy; in fact, it will be very hard.
• BUT, it will be a lot of fun.
• You need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable; timelines will change, and priorities will most likely shift.
• Be prepared for an exciting, fast-paced journey where you’ll learn a lot, take on meaningful challenges, and grow along the way.
