Enterprise Sales Director – Europe (Poland)
About The Position
Silent Eight is expanding its European enterprise sales team and hiring a senior individual-contributor hunter based anywhere in Poland to drive growth across European markets. The role focuses entirely on new business, with no team-management responsibilities, and reports directly to the CEO. The successful candidate will own the full sales cycle for Tier 1 and Tier 2 financial institutions across Europe, from initial conversations through signed contracts. The position requires frequent international travel, with the seller on the ground roughly 70% of the time with banks across the EMEA region. The role involves driving multi-million-dollar, multi-year deals through complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles; advising Chief Risk Officers and Chief Compliance Officers on aligning AI capabilities with regulatory and risk priorities; and working with product and executive leadership to shape winning proposals. The director will also collaborate with teams in Asia and the United States on global accounts with a European presence. Silent Eight provides AI-powered compliance decision automation for major financial institutions, with its platform in production at global banks including HSBC and Standard Chartered. The company is headquartered in Singapore and is scaling its European footprint.
