Requirements
- 5+ years of SaaS sales experience, ideally in fintech, banking technology, or digital banking platforms.
- Track record of selling into regional and mid-sized banks or credit unions —including digital banking, payments, or core modernization solutions.
- Experience managing shorter, repeatable sales cycles (3–6 months).
- Ability to navigate multi-stakeholder environments (product, compliance, IT, marketing) but with more standardized solutions versus heavy customization.
- Familiarity with the banking technology ecosystem, ideally with experience at firms such as Q2, Alkami, Jack Henry, Finastra, Backbase, Zafin, or Temenos.
- Strong pipeline generation skills—comfortable prospecting independently, leveraging networks, events, and ABM campaigns.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with credibility at the VP and C-level.
- A self-starter who can operate with autonomy and thrives in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.
- Passion for helping banks innovate and deliver better digital experiences for their customers.
- Preference for candidates in the Eastern or Central U.S. time zones (remote flexibility available).
