Duration – Fulltime

About the Role

GlobalLogic is seeking a Vice President of Sales to drive growth with FinTech’s and banks, with a focus on the West Coast market. This is a hands-on commercial leadership role: the VP will own a fintech and banking bookings target, personally originate and close new business, and build a focused team of sellers. The portfolio spans data, AI, product engineering, platforms, and cloud services.

The ideal candidate is a proven hunter with deep relationships across the West Coast fintech ecosystem and regional and national banks — someone who can engage founders, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and bank CIOs on scaling platforms, modernizing banking technology, and adopting data and AI, and convert those conversations into long-term engineering and transformation partnerships.

Job Description

• 20+ years in enterprise technology services sales, with at least 10 years selling into banks, capital markets, and financial services; insurance experience a plus.
• 5+ years in senior sales leadership (VP level or above) within a systems integrator, IT services, digital engineering, or consulting firm.
• Consistent track record of meeting or exceeding annual bookings quotas of $50M+, and of personally closing multiple deals above $10M TCV with financial institutions.
• Established rolodex of active relationships with technology and business decision-makers (CIO, CTO, CDO, COO, CRO) at banks, financial institutions, fintech and insurers, with the ability to open doors and create pipeline from day one.
• Working command of data platforms, AI/GenAI, product engineering, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), and modernization programs — enough to lead credible executive conversations and shape solutions with pre-sales teams.
• Understanding of the BFSI regulatory landscape (Basel, DORA, SOX, PCI-DSS, GDPR, KYC/AML) and how it shapes technology buying decisions.
• Experience structuring complex, multi-year commercial deals, including managed services and outcome-based models.
• Experience selling within a global delivery model (onshore/offshore/nearshore) and coordinating distributed teams to win large-scale engagements.
• Proven ability to build, lead, and retain high-performing sales teams.
• Executive presence, strong negotiation skills, and the ability to engage credibly with board-level and C-suite stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree a plus.
• Willingness to travel to client sites and industry events as needed.

Job Responsibilities

Sales Strategy & Revenue Ownership

• Define and execute the BFSI go-to-market strategy, including target account selection, sub-segment priorities (retail and commercial banking, capital markets, payments, wealth, insurance, fintech), and annual revenue plans.
• Own the BFSI bookings, revenue, and margin targets, with full accountability for pipeline health, deal quality, and forecast accuracy.
• Identify whitespace across existing and target accounts and build a repeatable motion for landing and expanding strategic relationships.

New Business Origination & Account Growth

• Personally originate, lead, and close large, complex deals ($10M–$50M+ TCV) from first conversation through negotiation and contract.
• Open new logos among Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, exchanges, payment providers, insurers, and high-growth fintechs, leveraging an existing network of FSI relationships to create pipeline from day one.
• Grow existing accounts by cross-selling GlobalLogic’s full portfolio — data, AI, product engineering, platforms, and cloud — into larger, outcome-based programs.
• Build and sustain trusted relationships with C-suite technology and business buyers (CIO, CTO, CDO, COO, Chief Digital Officer, Chief Risk Officer) at target accounts.

Solution Selling & Deal Shaping

• Lead the commercial narrative in pursuits, partnering with solution architects, delivery, and practice leaders to shape differentiated proposals and RFP responses.
• Translate client priorities — core and digital banking modernization, real-time payments, risk and regulatory reporting, fraud/KYC/AML, trading platform modernization, claims and policy automation, GenAI and agentic AI adoption — into clear, compelling service offers.
• Bring tailored offers to three priority segments: payments (real-time and cross-border payments, payment platform modernization, fraud prevention), wealth management (advisor and client digital experience, portfolio and data platforms, AI-driven personalization), and regional banks (core modernization, digital banking, cloud migration, and data and AI adoption at mid-market scale).
• Structure commercial models including fixed price, managed services, and outcome-based pricing that are attractive to clients and profitable for GlobalLogic.

Ecosystem & Market Presence

• Co-sell with HyperScaler and platform partners (AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Temenos, Guidewire, etc.) to generate joint pipeline.
• Build relationships with sourcing advisors and analysts (ISG, Everest Group, Gartner, Forrester) to secure shortlist positions on major pursuits.
• Represent GlobalLogic at industry events, client executive forums, and analyst briefings; work with marketing on thought leadership and campaigns that build pipeline.

Leadership & Organization Building

• Hire, mentor, and scale a team of client partners, new-business hunters, and sales specialists dedicated to the BFSI vertical.
• Run a disciplined sales operating rhythm — pipeline reviews, deal reviews, CRM hygiene, and weekly and quarterly forecasting.
• Partner cross-functionally with delivery, pre-sales, alliances, and GlobalLogic’s broader business units to win as one team.

How Success Is Measured

• Annual BFSI bookings and revenue against target, with healthy deal margins.
• Qualified pipeline coverage of 3–4x the annual target.
• New logos signed, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 financial institutions.
• Number of large deals ($10M+ TCV) closed and year-over-year growth in top accounts.
• Forecast accuracy and the strength of the BFSI sales team built.
