  • Shorten the sales cycle by anticipating and addressing blockers (Compliance, IT, Finance) early in the process
  • Tailor value-based presentations and proposals that align with each prospect’s business objectives, digital strategy, and asset size.
Market Strategy & Positioning
  • Sell a solution with a clear market need – helping banks and credit unions enhance digital engagement and deposit growth.
  • Partner with our Product, Client Success, and Marketing teams to ensure sales feedback informs roadmap and messaging.
  • Recommend pricing or packaging adjustments based on market feedback to improve deal velocity and conversion rates.
Thought Leadership & Industry Presence

  • Collaborate with Marketing to develop speaking opportunities, podcasts, and content that highlight our expertise and innovation.
Partnership & Collaboration
  • Strengthen relationships with strategic partners who can advocate on our behalf and accelerate introductions with financial institutions.
  • Work closely with the executive team to align go-to-market strategy, product positioning, and revenue goals.
  • Provide clear, data-driven feedback on pipeline trends, market challenges, and sales performance to leadership.
  • Mentor and support Business Development Representatives (BDRs) to ensure consistent outreach quality, pipeline coverage, and professional development.
You will do this using your…
  • 3 to 5+ years of experience selling SaaS or digital banking solutions to banks and credit unions.
  • Proven ability to manage 6 to 12 month enterprise-level sales cycles and close complex deals.
  • Existing network of FI decision-makers and proven success engaging multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong financial acumen and understanding of compliance, IT, and digital banking dynamics.

  • Skilled in negotiation, relationship management, and storytelling that connects technology to business outcomes.
  • Self-motivated, adaptable, and capable of working effectively in a high-growth, remote-friendly startup.
  • Willingness to travel for conferences, on-site client meetings, and strategic events.
You’ll love working here if you…
  • Communicate directly – with transparency, kindness, and humility.
  • Are relentless in execution and think like an owner.
  • Enjoy collaborating with passionate, mission-driven people who genuinely care about customers and each other.
It will be the best job you’ve ever had because…
  • You’ll help shape the growth of a company transforming how banks and credit unions attract and engage their customers
  • You’ll sell a product with clear market need, supported by a leadership team that’s engaged, responsive, and respected in the industry.
  • You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of solving real problems for financial institutions and seeing the direct impact of your work.
