Soho, NY • Full-time • Hybrid (3-4 days/week onsite) • From August 2026

Why this role matters

We9re growing our New York sales team, and this role is for someone who brings real energy and conviction to every conversation - not just a technical pitch. You9ll open doors across a broader set of buyers, build genuine relationships, and bring people along on the Formance story even when they9re not starting from deep technical context.

This isn9t a role for someone who follows a script. It9s for someone who9s curious, honest about what they don9t know yet, and genuinely enjoys turning a skeptical prospect into a believer.

What you9ll actually do
  • Own the full sales cycle - from first conversation to signed contract - on deals ranging from $100K to $300K ACV, engaging a mix of technical and business buyers (VPs of Product, Heads of Payments, Finance and Ops leaders) at fintechs and financial platforms.
  • Build trust quickly, even in unfamiliar territory - you don9t need to be the most technical person in the room to make the customer feel confident in Formance.
  • Work closely with our founders and engineering team, bringing back what you hear from the market to help shape what we build next.
  • Navigate procurement and compliance in regulated environments, and close with genuine conviction rather than pressure.

What we9re looking for

Must-haves:
  • 3+ years in B2B tech sales, with a track record of building real relationships and closing complex deals - technical background is a plus, not a requirement.
  • US market experience: you understand how enterprise and mid-market deals move here - procurement cycles, legal constraints, stakeholder dynamics.
  • Comfort being early - the playbook is still being written, and your judgment and energy matter more than following a process.

What will set you apart:
  • You9re honest about gaps in your knowledge rather than bluffing through them, and you learn fast.
  • People remember you after one conversation - colleagues, prospects, and customers alike.
