Position Summary
The Head of Middle Market Sales will be responsible for building a new go-to-market (GTM) motion from the ground up targeting mid-market financial institutions, asset managers, private capital firms, and regional banks. This leader will recruit, develop, and manage a high-performing sales organization, define the sales playbook, and establish the commercial foundation for long-term scalable growth. This role requires a mix of strategic vision, entrepreneurial drive, and hands-on sales leadership in complex B2B technology environments within financial services.

- Proven track record of building and scaling a new High Velocity sales organization (preferably from zero to meaningful ARR).
- Deep understanding of financial data workflows — including portfolio management, risk, operations, or data management systems.
- Exceptional leadership, communication, and organizational skills; thrives in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.
- Experience working both with complex sales cycles ($250k–$2M+ ACV) and with high-velocity sales cycles ($50k - $150k+ ACV)
- Entrepreneurial mindset with strong operational discipline — equally strategic and execution-focused.
