Enterprise Account Executive

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam.

Plaid's Europe Sales team helps the most innovative companies in financial services build the experiences their end users come back to. We partner with the largest, most technically forward organisations in the UK and Europe, from scaled fintechs and neobanks to lenders, payments platforms, and forward-thinking financial institutions, to bring Plaid's platform into the core of their products. We don't sell payments alone. We sell the customer understanding that drives loyalty and intent, with payment initiation, data, verification, underwriting, and insight on one platform. Through this work, we help advance our mission of unlocking financial freedom for everyone. We're looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to join our Europe Sales team. You'll own a curated territory of named accounts with very high revenue potential and lead full-cycle, multi-product sales into them. You'll build executive relationships, identify and quantify Plaid's business impact across your accounts, and go deep and wide within each organisation to build the support needed to win. You'll also lead a cross-functional deal team spanning Sales Engineering, Account Management, Product, Risk, and Legal, and help define how Plaid sells to Enterprise across Europe. Responsibilities
