Senior Account Executive - Financial Services & Banking (Genai)

Job Description

Job Description

We're a Gartner-recognized AI services company helping enterprises put GenAI into production through domain-specific language models, agentic AI, and Intelligence Engineering. Financial Services & Banking is one of our fastest-growing verticals, and we're looking for our first dedicated Senior Account Executive in Chicago to own it.

If you understand how banks, financial institutions, and fintech organizations buy enterprise technology—and you can sell complex, consultative AI services from first conversation through signed engagement—this is a rare opportunity to build a high-impact business in one of the fastest-growing AI markets.

Compensation:

$150,000 - $200,000 yearly

Responsibilities:

The role

You'll own the full sales cycle for Financial Services & Banking clients across the US, turning inbound opportunities and self-generated pipeline into signed GenAI implementation engagements. This is a consultative, multi-stakeholder enterprise sale—you'll qualify opportunities, shape solutions with our engineering teams, lead commercial discussions, navigate procurement, security, legal, and executive stakeholders, close deals, and ensure a seamless transition to our delivery and account management teams.

Working as a Senior Account Executive at Navtech, you will:

• Own opportunities from first call through contracting — discovery, solutioning, proposals, security reviews, negotiations, and close.

• Qualify opportunities rigorously and make sharp go / no-go decisions.

• Build pipeline from both inbound leads and your own Banking & Financial Services network.

• Lead responses to RFPs, RFIs, and enterprise procurement processes.

• Orchestrate cross-functional teams — engineering, delivery, legal, finance, and security — while aligning client stakeholders throughout the sales cycle.

• Build trusted relationships with business and technology leaders, including executive stakeholders.

• Onboard new customers and transition them smoothly to Delivery and Account Management.

Qualifications:

Who Are We Looking For Exactly?

• 8+ years closing complex, consultative B2B deals — ideally in AI services, IT services, enterprise software, cloud, or systems integration.

• Experience selling into Banking, Financial Services, Insurance (BFSI), or FinTech organizations, with a network you can leverage.

• The ability to sell technical, AI-led engagements credibly — you can articulate business value and ROI without being an engineer, and know when to bring one into the conversation.

• A track record navigating multi-stakeholder enterprise deals through procurement, IT, security, legal, and executive stakeholders.

• Strong discovery skills and a structured qualification approach (MEDDICC, MEDDIC, BANT, or similar).

• A self-starter who thrives with autonomy and can work across time zones with a global delivery team.

Bonus points: Experience selling GenAI, AI/ML, cloud, or data services; relationships with banks, financial institutions, fintechs, or insurance companies; familiarity with lending, payments, wealth management, fraud, risk, compliance, or customer experience transformation.
