About Hyperlayer 
We are a recently well-funded UK-based fintech company and now expanding into the US market with an innovative family banking and dependent spend card software platform purpose-built for retail banks, community banks, and credit unions. Our solution empowers financial institutions to launch new card products faster, drive customer loyalty, and unlock new revenue streams in a high-growth, competitive category.
As we enter the US market, we’re building a small and agile go-to-market team, combining an external agency model with our first in-house marketing and sales hires. This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor of our US launch, helping shape the brand narrative, and directly influence growth in a market where we’re an ambitious new challenger.

About the role:
We’re looking for a Senior Account Executive to help expand Hyperlayer’s footprint among regional and mid-sized financial institutions (Tier 2–4 banks and credit unions). You’ll lead new business development and drive expansion opportunities within existing accounts, helping banks modernize their digital experiences and launch innovative deposit, savings, and family banking solutions powered by Hyperlayer’s configurable SaaS platform.
This role is ideal for a proven SaaS sales professional who thrives on consultative selling, understands the banking technology ecosystem, and can balance strategic outreach with hands-on deal execution.

Key Responsibilities:
•    Full-Cycle Sales Ownership – Lead the end-to-end sales process, from pipeline development through contract signature, for Tier 2–4 banks and credit unions across the U.S.

•    Targeted Prospecting – Build relationships with digital, product, and innovation leaders; identify opportunities where Hyperlayer’s configurable platform delivers immediate business value.

•    Solution Selling – Translate complex banking challenges into clear business outcomes; position Hyperlayer’s pre-configured modules to accelerate time-to-market.

•    Expansion & Account Growth – Partner with Customer Success to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts; help customers expand adoption across lines of business.

•    Collaborate Across GTM – Work closely with marketing, product, and partnerships teams to refine messaging, enable demand generation campaigns, and strengthen market positioning.

•    Pipeline Discipline – Maintain accurate forecasts, update CRM regularly, and proactively communicate progress and roadblocks to leadership.

•    Voice of the Customer – Share market and customer insights to help shape product roadmap and go-to-market strategy for the banking segment.

You should apply if you have:
•    5+ years of SaaS sales experience, ideally in fintech, banking technology, or digital banking platforms.

•    Track record of selling into regional and mid-sized banks or credit unions—including digital banking, payments, or core modernization solutions.

•    Experience managing shorter, repeatable sales cycles (3–6 months).

•    Ability to navigate multi-stakeholder environments (product, compliance, IT, marketing) but with more standardized solutions versus heavy customization.

•    Familiarity with the banking technology ecosystem, ideally with experience at firms such as Q2, Alkami, Jack Henry, Finastra, Backbase, Zafin, or Temenos.

•    Strong pipeline generation skills—comfortable prospecting independently, leveraging networks, events, and ABM campaigns.

•    Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with credibility at the VP and C-level.

•    A self-starter who can operate with autonomy and thrives in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.

•    Passion for helping banks innovate and deliver better digital experiences for their customers.

•    Preference for candidates in the Eastern or Central U.S. time zones (remote flexibility available).
