Job description

Account Executive

Location: London

Travel: Occasional Travel

Compensation: Strong base + high-impact bonus, Strong OTE with accelerators

Shape the Future of Fintech SaaS in Europe

This is your opportunity to own a high-potential territory, drive new business, and unlock growth across the French financial services market. With the backing of a global SaaS leader and a clear path to reward, you’ll be given the platform – and autonomy – to make your mark.

Package & Benefits

• Strong base + accelerators for high performers
• Kickers for multi-year and product-specific wins
• Double OTE structure – generous ramp in Year 1
• High-quality client base and referenceable wins
• Private equity-backed career growth environment

Why This Business

Backed by one of the world’s most respected PE firms, this is a globally recognised SaaS specialist redefining how financial institutions manage complex subscription and market data spend. With an integrated platform used by major global banks and asset managers, their footprint spans 40+ countries – and they’re not done growing.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Win and expand key European accounts, driving six-figure deals in market data and SaaS services
• Execute cross-sell and upsell strategies in a defined patch, with full ownership of pipeline
• Partner with Product, Pre-Sales, and Marketing to create compelling value propositions
• Lead strategic conversations with procurement, heads of market data, and C-level stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

• Proven record in SaaS or Data sales, ideally into financial institutions
• Fluent German and strong command of English; French is a plus
• Deep understanding of market data, subscription, or financial information services
• High commercial acumen – you know how to sell the value, not just the product

Who This Suits

You’re a commercially driven hunter who thrives on autonomy, ownership, and deal-making. You’re ready to join a PE-backed scale-up where performance is rewarded, travel is part of the playbook, and the expectations are high – because the rewards are too. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of a high-performance team driving toward a major PE exit, this is your moment.
