• Tailor value-based presentations and proposals that align with each prospect's business objectives, digital strategy, and asset size.

You will also:

• Sell a solution with a clear market need – helping banks and credit unions enhance digital engagement and deposit growth.
• Partner with our Product, Client Success, and Marketing teams to ensure sales feedback informs roadmap and messaging.
• Recommend pricing or packaging adjustments based on market feedback to improve deal velocity and conversion rates.

• Represent Plinqit at industry conferences, events, and webinars, positioning us as trusted thought leaders in digital banking innovation.
• Collaborate with Marketing to develop speaking opportunities, podcasts, and content that highlight our expertise and innovation.

• Strengthen relationships with strategic partners who can advocate on our behalf and accelerate introductions with financial institutions.
• Work closely with the executive team to align go-to-market strategy, product positioning, and revenue goals.
• Provide clear, data-driven feedback on pipeline trends, market challenges, and sales performance to leadership.
• Mentor and support Business Development Representatives (BDRs) to ensure consistent outreach quality, pipeline coverage, and professional development.

You will do this using your:

• 3 to 5+ years of experience selling SaaS or digital banking solutions to banks and credit unions.
• Proven ability to manage 6 to 12 month enterprise-level sales cycles and close complex deals.
• Existing network of FI decision-makers and proven success engaging multiple stakeholders.
• Strong financial acumen and understanding of compliance, IT, and digital banking dynamics.
• Confidence presenting to executive audiences (C-suite, Compliance, Marketing, and Technology leaders).
• Skilled in negotiation, relationship management, and storytelling that connects technology to business outcomes.
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and capable of working effectively in a high-growth, remote-friendly startup.
• Willingness to travel for conferences, on-site client meetings, and strategic events.

You'll love working here if you:

• Communicate directly – with transparency, kindness, and humility.
• Are relentless in execution and think like an owner.
• Enjoy collaborating with passionate, mission-driven people who genuinely care about customers and each other.

It will be the best job you've ever had because:
