Senior Sales Executive

UK-based (Remote-first, with London workspace access)
Europe & Latin America initially
£90,000 base + uncapped commission
This is a hands on senior sales role within an early stage fintech operating at the intersection of payments, risk and advanced analytics.
The business is backed by a top tier venture investor, has a small, globally distributed team, and is helping payment companies understand merchant risk in far more depth, to then use that insight to enable growth.
They are now looking for a proven, senior individual contributor to personally drive revenue across Europe and Latin America, with scope to influence global expansion over time.
Why This Role Is Different- Highly consultative, customised sales

- Large, complex deals
- £250k-£1.5m deal sizes, with an annual personal target of £1-2m.
- Owning and delivering revenue targets across Europe and Latin America
- Leading complex, consultative sales cycles with acquirers, payment facilitators and payment platforms
- Engaging senior commercial, risk, compliance and technical stakeholders
- Building go to market approaches and sales materials alongside leadership
- Acting as the voice of the customer internally - shaping product and roadmap priorities
- Representing the business at key industry events and conferences
- Supporting the early foundations of marketing and brand presence
- 7+ years in quota carrying sales roles within payments or adjacent fintech
- Proven experience selling non standard, highly customised solutions
- Strong network across payment companies (acquirers, PayFacs, PSPs, platforms)
- Demonstrable history of closing £1m+ in personal annual revenue
- Comfortable operating autonomously in a lean, high expectation environment
- Willingness to travel internationally (Europe regularly, APAC periodically)
- Exposure to insurance or risk led commercial models
- Experience building or scaling early stage sales functions
- US market exposure
- Experience working effectively in long term remote environments
- Remote first, globally distributed team
- Access to a London workspace for collaboration
- Regular international travel expected
1. Initial 20-30 minute screening with the commercial lead
2. Deep dive commercial discussion
3. Panel interview including case study and role play

This role suits a credible, commercially sharp salesperson who still enjoys being in the detail - navigating complex buying processes, shaping bespoke deals, and closing meaningful revenue personally.
If you're looking for autonomy, influence, and genuinely challenging sales cycles in a high growth fintech, this is worth a conversation.
