Behavox is a cloud-native AI company providing an integrated controls platform for global banks, asset managers, hedge funds, private equity firms, insurance businesses, and commodity firms. The platform unifies communications and trade surveillance, compliant archiving, policy management as well as front-office analytics on a single, AI-native technology stack, delivered as a globally scalable SaaS-based cloud service.

At Behavox, our engineering culture is built around speed, experimentation, and technical excellence, following agile principles and rapid iteration. We constantly test and adopt the latest cloud technologies and AI tooling, optimising for fast feedback loops and execution. We look for people who can move fast, challenge conventional wisdom, and who want to work at the frontier of modern AI, SaaS platforms, and distributed systems.

Behavox is a high-performance organisation with a strong bias toward delivery, ownership, and responsibility. We commit, and we execute. We are building systems that are complex, mission-critical, and global in scale; systems that many consider too large or too difficult. To do that, we seek the smartest, most technically capable engineers and technologists who take end-to-end responsibility and want to win by building what others cannot.

Founded in 2014 and backed by SoftBank Vision Fund, Behavox is headquartered in London, with offices worldwide, including New York City, Montreal, Seattle, Singapore, and Tokyo.

About the Role

The Senior Enterprise Account Executive is responsible for driving revenue growth within a named portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts aligned to one of Behavox's core verticals: Banking and Capital Markets, Asset and Wealth Management, Private Equity, or Commodities. The role focuses on new business acquisition and expansion within highly complex customer environments, managing larger deal sizes involving broader buying groups, multiple business units, and higher organizational complexity than BCL3 roles, while maintaining ownership of selective renewals within their account set.

This role owns the full commercial sales lifecycle for strategic accounts, including AE-led outbound prospecting, opportunity shaping, value articulation to both above-the-line business stakeholders and below-the-line functional buyers, commercial negotiation, and contract execution for the Behavox Controls Platform. The Senior Account Executive is accountable for shaping and advancing the commercial value case by aligning customer strategic objectives, economic outcomes, and executive priorities to the buying decision, and for maintaining durable executive relationships across complex stakeholder environments. The role operates with greater autonomy over deal strategy, stakeholder navigation, and commercial sequencing while executing within established go-to-market strategy and commercial frameworks. Disciplined pipeline management, forecasting accuracy, and sales hygiene in HubSpot are required to support predictability across a strategic book of business. Following initial contract signature, the role retains commercial ownership of the account and partners with Customer Success to drive value-led expansion and renewals.

What You'll Do

1. Strategic outbound prospecting and pipeline ownership – Owns outbound pipeline generation within a strategic named account portfolio, with heavy reliance on direct AE-led prospecting and partnership with SDR and Marketing to engage senior executive and functional stakeholders across business units.
2. Complex enterprise deal leadership – Owns end-to-end commercial execution for large, complex opportunities involving multiple buying groups, setting deal strategy, stakeholder engagement plans, and negotiation approach through close.
3. Executive-level value-based selling – Owns the articulation and progression of a strategic value case for the Behavox Controls Platform by linking enterprise objectives, economic impact, and executive priorities to the buying decision.
4. Advanced commercial negotiation, deal governance, and CRM hygiene – Leads complex pricing and commercial negotiations, structures non-standard deal terms within approval frameworks, and maintains high-fidelity pipeline, activity, and forecast hygiene in HubSpot.
5. Strategic post-signature account ownership – Retains commercial ownership after close, maintaining executive relationships and working with Customer Success to identify, scope, and close expansion opportunities across business units.

About Our Process

We take Talent very seriously and we are building a community of extraordinary individuals working together in very high performing teams. We also know that the best Talent always has options so we believe that the process has to be a two way assessment - the company AND the candidate assessing the business needs alignment, the career next step alignment, and the cultural alignment. During the process we will begin by exploring the core factors regarding salary and location along with core experience and skills and values alignment. We will then deep dive explore the critical technical competencies we have identified for the role, and then we will deep dive in behavioral competencies. The most aligned candidate will then be asked to do a practical work task simulation activity so we can make sure that you will enjoy the kind of work the role requires, and this task will typically be presented and discussed with a group of colleagues and managers. Finally we will ask you to meet with a number of our senior leaders to make sure that you are making the most informed call possible.
