Account Executive

Description

Ready to be a part of the company transforming FinTech and how the world accesses banking services?

When was the last time you were excited about interacting with your bank or credit union? If the answer is “a while” then you’re in good company. Despite the fact that access to better financial choices is at the heart of empowering communities, businesses, and people, financial institutions (FIs) are struggling to keep up with modern expectations.

And that’s where Kinective comes in. We’re here to change the way the world accesses and thinks about banking through software that connects a historically “boring” industry to the latest and greatest fintechs shaping the industry.

Ok... but what does all of that actually mean? Banks and credit unions are using some pretty old-school systems, which makes adopting new and innovative technology difficult (if not impossible). If you think it’s easy for your local branch to send you a receipt via text… think again.

Want proof? As the largest provider of software connectivity to 1 in 4 U.S. financial institutions, we are the leading company transforming the way banking is done for credit unions and banks. (In fact, Forbes recently released their Best Banks in the World report, and Kinective works with over 60% of their named banks!).

Kinective is the connector (get it?) that bridges that technology gap and helps modernize the way banking works. Our 300+ team of mega-talented and passionate folks are brought together with the unifying desire to make life easier (and better) for our clients and ultimately paving the way for banks and credit unions to modernize banking for everyone.

Cliffs Notes

At Kinective, we are passionate about redefining the banking industry by creating the company “you’d want to hire and work for”. And for us, that means innovating with software that solves real customer problems and building a team of exceptionally talented individuals who love where they work.

As a Account Executive, you’ll be responsible for fueling our growth by reaching net-new logos with a focus on selling our technology solutions to banks and credit unions. You’ll be working closely with C-suite executives to understand their business objectives and act as their trusted guide for aligning our solutions to solving their needs.

If you're an experienced and successful sales account executive who wants to be a part of an established company, let’s talk!

What you’ll own:

Strategic Sales: As the primary sales driver, you will be responsible for acquiring net new logos (Banks and Credit Unions) through proactive prospecting and outbound strategic sales efforts. You will identify and establish connections with key decision-makers based on specific personas, showcasing our extensive product and industry expertise to deliver effective technology solutions.

Partnership Development: Collaborate with the partnership team to leverage our strategic partnerships and inbound referral leads, securing new clients and exploring growth opportunities. By maximizing partner referrals and fostering new connections, you'll help drive the expansion of our client base within the industry.
