Account Executive
Most people who buy this buy it on their own, from the pricing page, without speaking to anyone. This role is about the ones who will not: small funds, family offices, research shops and desks that want several seats and a conversation before they commit to any of it.
What you would do
- Own the pipeline end to end, from first contact to signature. Nobody hands you leads and nobody closes for you.
- Run the demo yourself, well enough to answer a portfolio manager's question in the room rather than promising to check.
- Sell seats to teams, not enterprise licences. The cycle here is weeks, and the price point rewards volume over ceremony.
- Bring back what you hear. Why a deal was lost is usually worth more to us than the deal was.
You would fit if
- You have sold software to people in finance and can name the deals you closed.
- You can hold a conversation about markets that a professional respects.
- You are comfortable with a short cycle and a small ticket, and you know that is a different job from enterprise.
- You want commission worth having, and you are happy for it to be tied to what actually renews.
Skills
Outbound and pipeline management without a team to lean on, demoing a keyboard-driven product live, and enough fluency in equities, options, crypto and macro to be taken seriously by the person on the other side. Knowing what a terminal is used for all day matters more here than knowing a particular CRM.
Working hours and location
Full time, remote and asynchronous. We work across European hours and overlap for a few of them; where you are matters less than whether the overlap is workable. There are no stand-ups and no status meetings.
Prospect calls will sometimes reach into US afternoons, and that is part of the role rather than an exception to it.
Education and experience
No formal educational credential is required and there is no degree filter. What counts is a list of deals you closed, who they were with, and what they were worth.
Compensation
Base plus commission, discussed openly on the first call, in numbers, before anyone spends time on a process. Commission is tied to what renews rather than to what signs, deliberately. We are independent and not venture funded, so it is competitive rather than extravagant, and we will not pretend otherwise. A PRO account is included, along with direct access to the founder and a genuine hand in what the product becomes.
How hiring works
Four steps, usually inside two weeks: you write to us with whatever shows your work best, a call of about forty-five minutes where compensation is discussed rather than deferred, a small scoped task from the real backlog that we pay for at the agreed rate, then a decision with a reason. No unpaid take-homes, and you hear back either way. The careers page sets out each step in full.
How to apply
Email us with the role in the subject line. A CV is fine, and so is a paragraph on how you would sell this. No cover letter and no form. Have a look at the product first — open the terminal; the free account shows most of it.
