Responsibilities
- The Close: You'll lead the full sales cycle: qualifying, negotiating, and closing high-value deals with a focus on creating urgency and winning net new logos.
- The Strategy: You'll build and own a territory plan from day one: identifying your ICP, tiering your accounts, and defining how you and your BDR will work in concert to penetrate the market. You'll feed market intelligence back to our Product teams and help elevate junior sales members.

- Methodology: You're a fan of standardized sales processes (think MEDDICC, Sandler, or Challenger) and use them to navigate complex deals.

- BDR Partnership: You've operated in a model where you co-own pipeline generation with a BDR. You know how to set shared targets, align on ICP and messaging, and run a coordinated outreach strategy and not just assign a list and wait for results.
- Adaptability: You thrive in entrepreneurial environments, think on your feet, and are always looking for ways to do things better.
- How we work:
- Our values describe how we operate, and they map closely to this role:
- Make a safer world: Every role here contributes to financial systems that are harder for criminals to exploit. You will keep the customer and the real-world outcome of our work visible in everything the team does.
- Raise the bar: We set ambitious standards and pursue them with discipline, never settling for good enough. You will raise the bar on the team's capability and craft, and balance that ambition with care for the people behind it.
- See it, own it, drive it forward: We notice what needs to change, take personal responsibility, and move with purpose. You will lead with a bias for action and see things through.
- Win as one team: Financial crime is complex and global, and no function solves it alone. You will build trust and shared goals across Customer Success, Sales, Product, and Engineering.
