About the role
We are hiring an Account Executive to build and scale new business within financial services. You will be responsible for originating, advancing, and closing complex, high-value deals with buy-side and sell-side institutions.
You will operate with significant autonomy, minimal hand-holding, and direct responsibility for results. Success in this role is defined by consistent new logo wins, deal quality, and sustained quota performance.
This role is for AEs who want ownership, accountability, and material upside—not order-taking.
Responsibilities
• Own the full new business lifecycle from cold prospecting to close, with no reliance on inbound demand
• Build and maintain a deep, active pipeline across hedge funds, asset managers, banks, and trading desks
• Run executive-level discovery and position Kpler as a mission-critical data platform, not a nice-to-have
• Lead complex sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders, and technical buyers
• Forecast with precision and manage pipeline with rigor and transparency
• Consistently perform at or above quota while raising the commercial bar across the team
• Partner closely with product, analysts, and leadership to influence roadmap, messaging, and go-to-market strategy
Requirements
• 5+ years of proven success in a new-logo Account Executive role selling SaaS, DaaS, or analytics solutions to the financial services across North America
• Demonstrated track record of exceeding quota in competitive, complex sales environments
• Direct experience selling into buy-side and/or sell-side financial institutions
• Strong outbound motion—comfortable creating pipeline from scratch and winning without brand dependency
• Exceptional commercial judgment: knows when to push, when to walk, and how to control a deal
• Highly disciplined, self-directed, and resilient under pressure
• Executive presence with the ability to challenge prospects and sell value, not features
• Competitive by nature, motivated by growth, impact, and earning potential
Additional Requirements & Compensation:
• Candidates should be located in New York or the surrounding area.
• Must have legal authorization to live and work in the U.S. without the need for sponsorship.
• Salary range: 130K - 150K base + uncapped attractive commission scheme
