Turing’s mission is to accelerate superintelligence to drive real economic progress. Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest-running data provider in the category. Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems inside mission-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.

Role: Vice President, Business Development, Financial Services (BFSI)
Location: New York, NY
Experience Level: 10+ years
Compensation: $340,000-$375,000 base salary + variable compensation, equity, and additional benefits
Work Model: New York based, with in-office work once the New York office opens and regular travel across the Northeast
Reports to: General Manager, BFSI
Turing’s Financial Services team brings enterprise AI into the world’s leading banks, asset managers, private equity firms, and insurers. We work with some of the largest investment banks, asset managers, and private equity firms in the world.
We built this business from the ground up and compete with the largest consulting firms every day by bringing greater depth in AI.
As Vice President, Business Development, BFSI, you will open new financial services accounts for Turing and turn initial projects into multi-year AI programs. You will lead the first relationship conversation, bring in solutions engineers and AI architects, and own the deal through the first SOW and into the second.
This is an opportunity for an experienced financial services seller to move from the services era into an AI-native company and build the book that defines the next decade of their career.
Why This Role MattersFinancial services firms are moving beyond AI experimentation and looking to deploy AI in regulated environments, on data that remains inside the firm, and across operational workflows that have historically been difficult to automate.
Turing combines deep relationships with frontier AI labs and enterprise deployment capabilities to help financial services organizations move from experimentation to production.
Over the next 12 months, you will help grow the financial services business significantly. Turing leads with a platform that remains in place after delivery, creating the foundation for future engagements. New MSAs can close in approximately four months, even in an industry where enterprise agreements often take years.
As Vice President, Business Development, BFSI, You WillBuild and Own the Target ListDevelop a focused list of financial services accounts, including mid-size and regional banks, private equity and alternatives managers, asset managers, and insurers. Align the target list with the General Manager, BFSI, within your first 90 days.
Open New LogosBuild relationships at the Managing Director level and above, including within COO, CIO, and head-of-operations offices. Lead the first relationship conversation yourself.
Own the DealQualify opportunities based on sponsor, budget, and intent to reach production. Bring in solutions engineers and AI architects early, direct what they pitch, and scope and price deals that combine platform and services.
Create the Path to the Second ProjectRemain accountable beyond the first SOW and establish a clear path to a multi-year AI program. Partner with the engagement lead after the first SOW while maintaining accountability for the second project.
Run a Disciplined ForecastManage a focused pipeline and provide a forecast you can stand behind. Track opportunities from the first relationship conversation through SOW signature and future expansion.
The Anti-SellNew-logo focus: This role is focused on opening new financial services accounts. You will not manage existing anchor accounts or own renewals and account management.
Commercial ownership, not delivery ownership: You will own the sales process and first SOW, but not delivery or engagement P&L.
Partner-led technical solutioning: You will not own technical solution design. Solutions engineers and AI architects will lead that work.
Hunter mentality: This role is not for someone who relies primarily on renewals, account management, or procurement-led selling. You will be expected to open doors, create demand, and lead the first relationship conversation.
High autonomy: This is a self-directed role requiring the judgment and drive to work independently while remaining accountable to a small leadership team.
Our Financial Services Business Development Leaders Typically HaveDeep financial services selling experience: At least 10 years selling technology services, data, or AI solutions into financial services organizations.
New-logo success: A demonstrated record of opening at least one new logo within the last three years and personally closing first engagements of $1 million or more.
Executive-level relationships: A network at the Managing Director level and above, including relationships with COO, CIO, and head-of-operations leaders who will take your call.
Full-cycle enterprise selling: Experience leading enterprise sales from initial relationship development through qualification, solution shaping, pricing, negotiation, and signed SOW.
Consultative and technical fluency: The ability to lead with the customer’s problem, understand AI deployment concepts, and work effectively with solutions engineers and AI architects.
Self-directed execution: The drive to work independently, maintain a disciplined forecast, and remain accountable to a small leadership team.
