• Partner with Presales, Product, Legal, and Customer Success teams to ensure our solutions are tailored to meet the rigorous security and regulatory requirements of global firms.
• Stay ahead of domestic and international regulatory shifts (e.g. SEC, FINRA, GDPR) to proactively consult clients on future-proofing their operations.
• Maintain an accurate and robust pipeline, providing detailed forecasting and strategic updates to executive leadership.

About you:

• 7+ years of enterprise software sales (SaaS) experience, specifically targeting large-scale financial services or highly regulated industries.
• Deep understanding of the compliance, risk, or legal technology landscape.
• Proven experience navigating the New York financial hub and managing complex, high-stakes negotiations.
• A consistent history of meeting or exceeding seven-figure annual quotas and closing multi-year contracts.
• Ability to manage long sales cycles involving legal, procurement, and technical security reviews.
• Proficiency in value-based selling frameworks (e.g. MEDDPICC)
