## About the role

We're hiring a Sales Pioneer for North America, based in New York. Your primary focus will be financial services and capital markets (banks, asset managers, trading firms, exchanges, digital-asset platforms), while also pursuing high-potential opportunities in adjacent data-intensive sectors such as energy, aerospace and defense.

## What they're looking for

- Based in New York City or willing to relocate
- 5+ years of enterprise software sales experience, with a strong background in technical products and data infrastructure
- A hands-on closer who runs and closes enterprise sales cycles independently, and has done so at an early-stage company without a large team around them
- Technically credible: comfortable discussing databases, data pipelines and deployment architectures with engineers, and able to run a discovery call alone with a sceptical technical buyer
- A disciplined operator: clean CRM, honest forecasts, written next steps, and a habit of reviewing your own calls
