You are self-motivated, intelligent, strategic and have a natural talent for building relationships. As we scale quickly, we need individuals who are eager to learn, embrace challenges, and are passionate about driving success.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
  • You have 3+ years of experience in business development, customer success or implementation roles at a fast-growing startup or a highly-competitive environment (management consulting, banking, or venture capital).
  • Plus: clear understanding of how financial institutions adopt and operationalize compliance and fraud tools - whether through your own experience or from advising similar customers.
  • Excellent communication skills and an energetic, professional presence driving a room, a Zoom or a QBR.
  • Confidence working with C-level stakeholders and navigating ambiguity.
  • Resilience and grit - you get things done.
  • Proactive and curious self-starter who thrives in dynamic settings.
  • Highly feedback-oriented. We believe in radical candor and using feedback to get to the next level.
