About the Role
January is seeking an Account Executive to amplify its growth by owning the full sales cycle for a named account list of banks, credit unions, and fintechs, from cold outreach to signed contract. This role offers the opportunity to improve upon a codified GTM motion and report directly to the VP of Revenue.
Responsibilities
- Run enterprise-quality buying processes across a named account list, managing complex multi-stakeholder deals from cold outreach to close
- Build champions who can defend January in rooms you're not in by equipping them with materials, preparing them for internal meetings, and war-gaming objections
- Construct business cases grounded in recovery rate uplift and financial impact, making the cost of inaction palpable
- Navigate procurement, legal redlines, and compliance dependencies independently
- Maintain exceptional deal hygiene, working cold and warm leads, disqualifying what doesn't fit, and prioritizing accounts that scale
- Codify learnings (winning messages, buyer archetypes, recurring objections) back into a GTM motion
Requirements
- Comfortable owning a number, having carried quota directly or operated close enough to revenue ownership
- Ability to push past surface signals and apply diagnostic rigor to pipeline and self
- Willingness to operate at 70% confidence rather than waiting for certainty, surfacing deal risks proactively
- Ability to build structure from a cold account without managerial direction
- Understanding of incentive structures, buyer motivations, and political feasibility within regulated institutions
- Ability to make deliberate choices about where energy goes with a named account list and limited time
- Capacity to communicate at the altitude the room requires, shifting between different levels of stakeholders
- Demonstrated ability to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder commercial processes
- Track record of generating revenue without heavy structural support
