Responsibilities
- Develop and execute a territory pipeline strategy in close partnership with your aligned Account Executive - owning the full early-stage sales motion from identification through to qualified opportunity.
- Identify, engage, and qualify prospects across the financial services sector through a combination of outbound prospecting, inbound lead management, social selling, and event follow-up - bringing structure and commercial judgement to every interaction.
- Lead discovery conversations with senior decision-makers - understanding their strategic priorities, surfacing relevant pain points, and positioning nCino's value proposition with clarity and credibility.
- Carry qualified opportunities through initial pipeline stages, maintaining momentum and multi-threaded stakeholder engagement until the appropriate handover point to the Regional Sales Director.
- Prospect and map key stakeholders within target accounts using intent data and modern sales intelligence tools including SalesLoft, 6Sense, LeadIQ, and LinkedIn Navigator.
- Track and manage all pipeline activity with rigor in Salesforce - maintaining accurate forecasting data and activity records.
- Partner with the EMEA Marketing team, Partner network, and Solution Specialists to develop integrated territory campaigns and coordinate on account-based outreach.
- Represent nCino at sponsored events and industry forums - building your professional profile and generating qualified pipeline from in-person engagement.
- Contribute market and prospect intelligence back to the wider team, helping sharpen messaging, campaign focus, and territory strategy.
Requirements
- Proven experience in a business development, inside sales, or consultative sales role within the software or technology sector - ideally with exposure to financial services or fintech.
- A track record of owning pipeline end-to-end in the early stages of a complex sales cycle - not just booking meetings, but driving qualified, high-quality opportunities.
- The ability to navigate multi-stakeholder environments at senior levels, building credibility quickly and handling sophisticated objections with composure.
- Hands-on proficiency with modern sales technology - SalesLoft, 6Sense, LeadIQ, LinkedIn Navigator or equivalent - and a data-driven approach to prospecting and prioritisation.
- Strong commercial acumen: you understand how financial institutions think, buy, and make decisions - or you're genuinely driven to learn.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (business-level fluency required); additional European languages are a strong advantage.
- Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage a dynamic territory with multiple priorities in flight simultaneously.
- A collaborative mindset: you work as part of a team that includes AEs, Marketing, Partners, and Solution Specialists - and you make everyone around you better.
- Our Culture - Live the Six
- Our values aren't just words on a wall. They shape how we work, how we treat each other, and how we show up for our customers every day:
- Always Have Fun - We celebrate wins together, support one another, and genuinely enjoy the journey.
- Make Someone's Day - Whether it's a colleague or a customer, we go the extra mile to create positive experiences.
- Bring Your A-Game - We hold ourselves to a high standard and take pride in delivering excellent work.
- Do the Right Thing - Integrity isn't negotiable. We act with honesty and purpose.
- Respect Each Other - We foster a culture where every voice is heard and every person is valued.
