Senior Global Sales Director - Financial Services
About The Position
We are looking for a driven and strategic Sales Director to join our Financial Services Sales Team, focused on North America.

You will target major financial institutions — including banks, wealth managers, asset managers, insurers, and FinTechs — and act as a trusted advisor throughout complex sales cycles. This is a hybrid role that requires equal strength in prospecting and acquiring new clients (“hunting in the wild”) and growing revenue from current enterprise accounts (“hunting in the zoo”). Preferred locations include: Boston, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, New York, South Florida, Connecticut, and New Jersey

- Deep familiarity with North American financial institutions — including their organizational structures, decision-making processes, and current challenges.
- Proven ability to build and nurture C-suite and senior-level relationships (CRO, COO, CTO, CMO, Head of Distribution, etc.).
- Excellent communication, storytelling, and negotiation skills; confident managing complex deals with long sales cycles.
- Highly motivated self-starter with strong business acumen and a collaborative mindset.
