Role at a glance

We’re looking for a high-performing Account Executive who thrives in complex B2B sales environments and knows how to win in fintech.

In this role, you’ll own the full sales cycle — from building and qualifying pipeline through outbound prospecting to closing strategic deals ranging from $15K to $500K in ARR. You’ll work with finance leaders and operators to modernize their payments infrastructure and drive measurable business impact.

The ideal candidate has a strong track record in B2B SaaS sales, experience selling payments or financial technology solutions, and a disciplined, data-driven approach to managing pipeline and forecasting.

If you’re competitive, consultative, and energized by closing meaningful deals — we’d love to talk.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Build and own a high-quality pipeline through strategic outbound prospecting, targeted account research, and relationship-driven outreach.
  • Lead consultative discovery conversations with finance and operations leaders to uncover business pain points and position payments as a growth lever.
  • Deliver tailored presentations, demos, and proposals that clearly articulate ROI and operational impact.
  • Partner cross-functionally with SDRs, Product, and Customer Success to drive deals from first touch through implementation — ensuring alignment and velocity throughout the sales cycle.
  • Navigate complex negotiations with confidence, structuring agreements that create long-term value for both the customer and the company.
  • Maintain disciplined pipeline management and accurate forecasting in CRM, using data to drive prioritization and close rates.
  • Stay ahead of fintech and payments trends to confidently differentiate our solution in a competitive market.
  • Consistently meet and exceed revenue targets while contributing to a culture of accountability and high performance.

Requirements and qualifications:

  • 3–5 years of experience in B2B sales, ideally within SaaS, fintech, or payments — with a consistent track record of hitting or exceeding quota.
  • Experience selling into or alongside ERP ecosystems or similar cloud-based platforms is required.
  • Strong understanding of payments technology, merchant services, or financial infrastructure.
  • A consultative, strategic sales approach — you know how to guide conversations beyond features and toward measurable business outcomes.
  • Clear, confident communicator who can translate complex solutions into compelling value for finance and operations leaders.
  • Highly self-driven and competitive, with the ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments (startup experience is a plus).
  • Comfortable working on-site in one of our hubs: Santa Cruz, Austin, San Francisco, or Minneapolis.
  • Proficient in CRM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar) and disciplined about pipeline management and forecasting.
  • Willing and able to travel as needed for customer meetings and industry events.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Finance, or a related field preferred, but not required.

Perks

  • Compensation ranging from $160,000 to $190,000 OTE, depending on experience.
  • Enjoy generous PTO and sick leave, because we believe in balance.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching.
  • We've got your health covered with comprehensive health dental and vision insurance plans.
  • Fuel your days with free snacks and paid lunches in the office.
  • Unlock stock options and own a piece of our success!
  • Work with the best tools and equipment, setting you up to thrive.
  • And the best part? Endless growth opportunities await you as we rapidly expand!
