Senior Account Executive

What if your next sales role gave you an untapped territory, an expanded software portfolio and the freedom to turn that potential into results?

We’re working with a fast-growing compliance technology business that’s looking for a Senior Account Executive to drive new business across mid-market and enterprise financial services accounts.

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of your territory, build your own pipeline and lead competitive deals from first conversation through to close. You’ll be selling software that addresses an essential business need, with the breadth to support customers across multiple compliance challenges.

You’ll join an ambitious, collaborative team where people help each other win and individual ownership matters. With a defined account book from day one, remote working and equity appreciation rights, this role offers the opportunity to make a measurable contribution and share in the business’s growth.

Who’s it for and what’s in it for you? Our client builds smart software that helps financial services companies to navigate complex regulations without slowing down their business. Automation and AI is at the heart of their tech, making it simple for clients to review content, manage compliance, and keep an eye on comms. They're reducing risk for thousands of customers, and helping their teams have more time to do the stuff they're brilliant at.

They're a great place to work too. They're super culture-focused, with an environment that's set up to get the best out of people and to have fun whilst doing it. You'll get access to all the must-have benefits, like a generous company matched 401k plan, health coverage, and savings account options to support your work and home life. And, you'll also get some nice-to-haves too. Think unlimited PTO for those vacation plans of yours, hybrid work for the best of both worlds, and a relaxed office dress code so you can come to work feeling entirely yourself. There's a lot to like!

What will your day to day look like?

You’ll drive growth across your assigned EMEA or APAC territory, winning new enterprise customers and developing existing accounts. Taking ownership of the full sales cycle, you’ll help industrial businesses understand how analytics and AI can improve performance, reliability, efficiency and profitability.
