The Role

As our Founding Sales Lead, you'll work alongside the founders and the existing sales team to close enterprise and mid-market deals. You'll have meaningful influence over how we go to market, pricing, ICP, playbooks, and the way we sell into complex, technical accounts.

We're an early-stage team, growing quickly, and looking for the person who will own and shape how we sell.

What you'll do

• Own the full sales cycle. Enterprise and mid-market B2B SaaS customers. Prospecting to close.
• Run discovery like a consultant. Map each customer's cross-border payment flows — costs, failure rates, operational drag — and tie our product to outcomes their leadership cares about**.**
• Lead negotiations and stakeholder management. Own pricing, commercial terms, contracts, procurement, and legal. Close deals customers feel good about.
• Be the customer's voice inside the company. Bring structured feedback to product and engineering. Shape what we build next.

What we're looking for

• 4–6 years in B2B sales. Real enterprise and mid-market closing experience. Not SMB transactional.
• Early-stage experience. Founding team, or one of the first ~5 on a sales team. You've sold without a finished playbook.
• Strong product and technical instincts. You learn technical products fast. You hold your own with technical buyers.
• Bonus: fintech, payments, or infra sales. B2B SaaS network.

Why this role is interesting

• One of fintech's largest, most underserved categories. Real, painful problems.
• Direct access to founders. Real influence on product. Clear path to build and lead the sales team.
• Meaningful equity. Founding team member — we treat the role that way.
