About the role
This exciting opportunity to establish the North American commercial presence for a UK headquartered Climate FinTech start-up. You’ll own the sales efforts in the region and have potential to grow with the company. Your initial focus will be opening relationships with key Banking and Real Estate management companies - we’re backed by Deloitte, Commerz Bank and AO Proptech - and later expand into the numerous other industries where there are already defined use cases.
Our market-leading climate risk platform, Spectra, automates the assessment of physical risk related to climate change into the future. There is a ready market with increased executive-level directives to focus on reducing the impact of climate change, on ensuring financial resilience by effectively incorporating this new area of risk into financial decisions, and regulatory imperatives for disclosure. You’ll be selling an innovative product that is the work of our team of world-class climate scientists that already has adoption by market leaders in the UK and Europe. You’ll be supported by recognised industry advisors, and our team of sales and product professionals.
We are seeking an experienced Account Executive to join our team and help drive sales of our SaaS product, Spectra, into financial services and real estate clients in the US market. As the first hire in the US for our London-based company, you will be responsible for building and executing a sales strategy to drive revenue growth, build relationships with key clients, and help to shape the future direction of our company in the US market. You will be working independently for a large proportion of your time, with support from our London-based team.
