About The Position

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam. Our New Business team at Plaid combines deep product and industry knowledge and is focused on bringing Plaid to the world’s largest and most complex enterprises. Our thesis is that every major enterprise can benefit from better financial technology, and that many industries that don't currently consider themselves to be fintechs actually are. You'll be the one helping us achieve this vision at scale. As an Enterprise Business Development Representative, you'll forge the path to finding new enterprise clients and strategically prospecting Fortune 500 and high-growth market leaders. We are looking for extraordinary sales professionals with SaaS/tech outbounding experience who can navigate complex organizations, map multiple stakeholders, and demonstrate the profound impact Plaid can have on enterprise ecosystems. In this role, you will be responsible for strategic account mapping, executive-level prospecting, driving deep engagement, and nurturing early-stage enterprise opportunities for our Enterprise Account Executives. The ideal candidate is customer-centric, resilient, intellectually curious, and adept at challenging the status quo within large organizations.

1–3 years of experience in pipeline development, account mapping, or sales (preferably within Enterprise SaaS or complex technical environments).
Proven ability to map multi-stakeholder organizations and navigate complex procurement, legal, or security hurdles conceptually.
Exceptional ability to evangelize Plaid’s value proposition and translate a highly technical product into clear, ROI-driven business value for enterprise executives.
The ability to thrive in a high-impact, strategic, and quality-driven environment (prioritizing account depth over raw customer volume).
Experience working with customers on technical products. You must have a high degree of intellectual curiosity and an eagerness to master the ins and outs of Plaid's APIs, security standards, and compliance frameworks.
A relentless, consultative mindset with a passion for solving big problems and a desire to advance your career in enterprise tech sales.
Proficiency using Salesforce.com, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, or similar enterprise sales enablement tools.
