We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam.\nAbout the Team\nPlaid’s Fintech Sales team is responsible for our relationships with some of the most important and fastest-growing companies in financial services. Many of these companies have long-standing relationships with Plaid, and this team’s mandate is to deepen those partnerships - expanding product adoption, enabling customer growth, and ensuring Plaid remains the infrastructure provider of choice as these customers scale.\nAbout the Role\nYou will lead an established, high-performing team of Territory Account Executives who manage Plaid’s fast-growing fintech accounts. This is not a greenfield build - it’s a team with real momentum, strong customer relationships, and meaningful revenue. The opportunity is to raise the bar further: strengthen Plaid’s market-leading position in fintech by driving deeper product adoption across existing accounts, winning strategic new logos, and developing the AEs on your team into consistently elite performers.\nThe primary motion is new logo acquisition. The majority of your AEs’ accounts don’t yet use Plaid - the job is to secure those new logos and grow existing relationships through new products, new use cases, and new business units. You’ll be in deals with your team as a coach and escalation point, helping AEs navigate multi-stakeholder cycles from technical champion to economic buyer, without taking ownership away from them.\nResponsibilities\nManage a team of 5-7 Territory Account Executives focused on Plaid’s fintech accounts, driving growth through expansion of existing relationships and competitive new logo acquisition.\nCoach AEs to identify and drive expansion opportunities proactively - new products, new use cases, new business units - rather than waiting for inbound signals.\nBuild and refine the account strategy for Plaid’s fintech customers alongside your AEs, including executive value messaging, pitch positioning, and coordinated go-to-market efforts with Marketing.\nGrow existing accounts by driving multi-product adoption and deepening executive-level relationships.\nAttain consumption-based revenue targets through a disciplined, data-driven pipeline operating rhythm.\nDevelop your team through structured 1:1s, deal reviews, and skill-specific coaching that closes the gap between strong performers and elite ones.\nMaintain a high recruiting bar - assess and close exceptional AE talent as the team grows, selecting for people who are self-starters and thrive in a fast-moving environment.\nManage performance with transparency - set clear expectations, act early when someone isn’t tracking, and make tough calls when necessary.\nCollaborate closely with Marketing, Product, Account Management, Legal, and Commercial teams to maintain a consistently high win rate and remove friction from deal cycles.\nEngage directly in strategic deals as a coach and escalation point, while ensuring your AEs retain ownership and develop their own executive-level selling capabilities.\nQualifications\n10+ years of sales experience in B2B SaaS or platform/infrastructure sales, with meaningful exposure to fintech, payments, or financial services.\n5+ years of frontline sales management experience leading teams of quota-carrying AEs.\nDemonstrated track record of coaching account executives to close and grow accounts in the $100K-$500K+ ARR range, with specific experience in net-new logo acquisition.\nStrong data discipline - you use pipeline and forecast data to influence the actions your team takes, not just report what happened.\nProven ability to operate cross-functionally, influencing product, legal, and marketing without positional authority.\nOutstanding communication and executive presence, with experience managing the sales cycle from technical champion to C-suite economic buyer.\nA coaching-first leadership style - you develop your people through the deals, not by taking the deals away from them.\nNice to Have\nExperience selling API-first or developer-focused products.\nFamiliarity with consumption-based or usage-based pricing models.\nBackground in open banking, identity verification, payments, or adjacent fintech infra\nOur mission at Plaid is to unlock financial freedom for everyone.
