What are the responsibilities and job description for the New Leader – Pitch Us position at SentiLink?
SentiLink provides innovative identity and risk solutions, empowering institutions and individuals to transaction with confidence. We’re building the future of identity verification in the United States replacing a clunky, ineffective, and expensive status quo with solutions that are 10x faster, smarter, and more accurate.
We’ve seen tremendous traction and are growing extremely quickly. Our real-time APIs have helped verify hundreds of millions of identities, starting with financial services and rapidly expanding into new markets. SentiLink is backed by world-class investors including Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin.
We’ve earned recognition from TechCrunch, CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, Business Insider, PYMNTS, American Banker, LendIt, and have been named to the Forbes Fintech 50. We have also been named a 2026 FICO Industry Vanguard Decision Award Winner. Last but not least, we’ve even made history - we were the first company to go live with the eCBSV and testified before the United States House of Representatives on the future of identity.
SentiLink supports a variety of ways to work, ranging from fully remote to in-office. We operate as a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India. We maintain physical offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago in the U.S., and in Gurugram (Delhi) and Bengaluru in India. If you’re located near one of these offices, we would love for you to spend time in the office regularly. Some roles are hybrid or in-office by design. For example, our engineering team in India works primarily from our Gurugram office.
Role
SentiLink is looking for high-agency builders who don’t just want to join a role, they want to define one.
This is an open-ended, product-oriented hiring track for individuals who see an opportunity at SentiLink and want to pitch it. Rather than hiring into a predefined role, we are looking for people who can identify high-impact opportunities, articulate why they matter, and lead them from idea to execution.
As part of the process, you will be asked to propose a product, initiative, or new area of investment for SentiLink. We’re looking for candidates who combine strong product thinking, business acumen, and execution ability.
During the recruiting process, we will work with you to identify a product role where you can have the greatest impact based on your pitch, strengths and interests, as well as business needs.
Your Pitch Should Answer
If selected, you will take ownership of a high-impact product or business initiative and drive it from concept through execution. This may include:
Examples Of Areas You Might Propose Or Lead
We’re looking for builders with deep experience in financial services, who are excited to move from identifying problems to building solutions.
You’re highly analytical, structured in your thinking, and able to break down ambiguous problems into clear opportunities. You’ve driven complex initiatives end-to-end, influenced stakeholders, and are comfortable using data to inform decisions.
You have strong product instincts: you can translate business problems into compelling product ideas and communicate them clearly across technical and non-technical audiences. You operate with high ownership, move quickly, and thrive in 0→1 environments.
Compensation
$180,000 – $250,000 equity benefits
Note: Leveling and compensation will be determined based on experience, scope, and the nature of the opportunity defined through your pitch.
