Are you an Enterprise Account Executive with a proven track record of closing seven-figure software deals into banks?

This growing technology company develops AI software that helps financial institutions automate financial crime and compliance processes.

Experience selling AML, KYC, financial crime or related compliance software would be highly beneficial.

• Win new banking customers for an AI financial technology platform.


• Own complex enterprise sales from initial outreach through negotiation and contract signature.


• Build and manage your pipeline, supported by BDRs and marketing.


• Develop business cases and coordinate technical evaluations with internal specialists.


• Build relationships across banking leadership, compliance, risk, technology and procurement.


• Attend the NYC office 3–4 days per week, with frequent travel to customer sites and conferences.

The Person:

• Proven enterprise SaaS or software sales experience, including personally closing seven-figure deals into banks.


• Strong record of new-business wins and delivery against individual revenue targets.


• Confident managing complex buying committees, technical evaluations and procurement.


• Highly autonomous, with evidence of generating and progressing your own opportunities.


• AML, KYC, financial crime or banking compliance software experience highly beneficial.


• Able to meet the NYC office requirements and travel frequently.
