Senior Account Executive, Financial Institutions & Banks

Senior Account Executive, Financial Institutions & Banks

At Conduit, we believe in a world of fair economic opportunity, where global commerce can flourish thanks to frictionless exchange of value. Our first steps in building towards that vision is enabling drastically faster, cheaper, and more reliable transactions for businesses in emerging markets. We're here to build. We empower our team to act like founders, make bold decisions, and deliver business outcomes that matter.

Conduit is seeking a Senior Account Executive, Financial Institutions & Banks to drive commercial growth by selling our cross-border payments and infrastructure solutions to banks, including Tier 1 institutions to regional and community banks. This is a senior, high-impact role for someone who understands how banks operate, has a strong existing network across the U.S. banking ecosystem, and can independently generate new opportunities and relationships.

You'll lead the go-to-market strategy for the banking segment - creating compelling sales materials, building tailored solution proposals, and working hand-in-hand with product, compliance, and engineering teams to design and implement bespoke cross-border payment flows. This role combines strategic sales leadership with technical and operational fluency, ideal for someone who can sell to banks and speak their language.

We're looking for a builder : someone entrepreneurial, execution-oriented, and equally comfortable in a boardroom with banking c-suite as in the weeds with a payments operations team.

• Guide onboarding and implementation : Partner with internal teams to ensure smooth bank integration, onboarding, and go-live processes, with a focus on client satisfaction and retention.
• Drive outbound business development : Proactively identify and pursue new banking relationships you'll be expected to build and manage your own outbound pipeline.
• Represent Conduit externally : Attend industry events, conferences, and client meetings to enhance Conduit's visibility within the U.S. and global banking and fintech ecosystem.
