Account Executive, Mid-Market

Middesk • New York, NY

10d • $200,000 - $230,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Middesk makes it easier for businesses to work together. Since 2018, we’ve been transforming business identity verification, replacing slow, manual processes with seamless access to complete, up-to-date data. Our platform helps companies across industries confidently verify business identities, onboard customers faster, and reduce risk at every stage of the customer lifecycle.
Middesk came out of Y Combinator, is backed by Sequoia Capital and Accel Partners, and was recently named to Forbes Fintech 50 List.
The Role:
Middesk is expanding its presence in the banking, lending, fintech, and payments sectors, and we're looking for an Account Executive to drive new business growth in these key markets. This role is focused on hunting new logos—identifying, engaging, and closing net-new customers who can benefit from Middesk’s solutions. You’ll own the full sales cycle, building relationships with senior stakeholders in product, compliance, and risk, while developing acquisition strategies to penetrate new accounts. Additionally, you'll provide valuable market feedback to influence Middesk’s product roadmap, ensuring we continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
We follow a hybrid work model, and for this role, there is an expectation of 3 days per week in our NYC office. Candidates should be based within a commutable distance, as we believe in the value of in-person collaboration and building strong team connections while also supporting flexibility where possible.
