Team: Sales
Location: Paddington, London, UK
Employment status: Full‑time
Reporting to: Chief Revenue Officer
Working week: Monday‑Friday

We’re hiring an Enterprise Account Executive (AE) with a proven track record of selling complex SaaS solutions to large banks and financial institutions. This is a senior, quota‑carrying role ideal for a consultative salesperson who understands the nuances of enterprise sales cycles, values long‑term relationship‑building, and thrives in early‑stage, high‑growth environments. This role has responsibility for the EMEA region, with a strong preference for individuals who have an existing enterprise network across the UK and Europe.

As one of the first AEs, you’ll work closely with the founders, senior management team and GTM advisors to shape our go‑to‑market approach, engage Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks, and close transformative deals. This is a senior, enterprise‑level role, but it is highly hands‑on and requires someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting deeply involved in execution.

This is an office‑based role, with regular in‑person collaboration in the office and travel to meet with enterprise clients.

• Enterprise Sales Ownership – Own the full sales cycle from outbound prospecting to deal close, with a focus on large banks and credit unions.
• Strategic Prospecting – Identify and target enterprise accounts that align with our ICP; leverage your network and knowledge of the banking tech ecosystem to open doors.
• Complex Deal Management – Navigate multi‑stakeholder sales processes involving compliance, legal, product, and executive sponsors; tailor solutions to meet the needs of each institution.
• Collaborate with GTM Leaders – Partner with marketing, product, and customer success to align messaging, accelerate deal velocity, and ensure a seamless customer experience.
• Pipeline Development & Forecasting – Build and maintain a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities; provide accurate forecasts and deal updates to leadership.
• Be the Voice of the Customer – Surface feedback from prospects to inform product strategy, GTM motion, and broader company priorities.

• 7+ years of enterprise SaaS sales experience, with at least 5 years in the fintech space.
• Proven success selling to large financial institutions (banks, credit unions, or core providers).
• Established enterprise network across the UK and Europe, with demonstrable relationships with relevant buyers and decision‑makers.
• Experience with complex, multi‑month sales cycles requiring customization, pilots, and executive alignment.
• Familiarity with the fintech ecosystem—ideally with past roles at companies like Temenos, Greenlight, FIS, Fiserv, Finacle, Personetics, Backbase, Zafin, Q2, Alkami, Jack Henry, Thought Machine, or Mambu.
• Self‑starter mindset and ability to operate with ambiguity in a fast‑paced startup environment.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, especially with senior banking executives.
• High integrity, curiosity, and a passion for disrupting the status quo in banking.

We value our team and are proud to offer some great benefits:

• A performance‑based employee bonus scheme.
• 25 days annual leave plus bank…
