What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Account Executive — Technical Sales position at Formance?

This isn't a role for someone who follows a script. It's for someone who genuinely enjoys the challenge of selling something technical to people who know their stuff.
What You'll Actually Do
- Own the full sales cycle — from the first cold conversation to signed contract — on complex, multi-stakeholder deals. Your buyers are CTOs, VPs of Product, and Heads of Engineering at fintechs, SaaS platforms, and financial institutions.
- Work closely with our founders and engineering team — not as a support function, but because the best deals at Formance happen when sales and product think together. You'll bring market signals back from the field that shape what we build next.
- Identify high-potential targets in the US market, run discovery calls that go deep on architecture and business model, navigate procurement and compliance in technical environments, and close deals with conviction.
Must-haves:
- 4 years in B2B tech sales, with a track record of closing complex deals with technical buyers — CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Product. You've sold infrastructure, APIs, developer tools, or technical SaaS.
- US market experience: you understand how enterprise and mid-market deals move here — procurement cycles, legal constraints, stakeholder dynamics.
- Comfort in an early-stage environment where the playbook is still being written, resources are focused, and your judgment matters more than your ability to follow a process.
- You can explain a complex technical concept simply. You can build credibility with an engineer and a CFO in the same meeting. You get curious about a customer's architecture before you pitch.
- Fintech or financial infrastructure experience is a plus — but not a requirement. What matters is your ability to get up to speed fast and sell with conviction in a technical environment.
