Company mission
Plaid's mission is to unlock financial freedom for everyone.
Role
Who you are
- Significant experience (10+ years of quota-carrying experience) in a new-revenue role and a strong track record of closing enterprise-level deals (5+ years focused on enterprise customers) with large target customers
- Ability to sell to a technical solution to a business buyer — develop and sell in the value story at the executive level
- Strong prospecting, qualifying, and negotiating skills; consultative sales approach with a product-centric mindset
- Experience working with sales development and deploying a territory or vertical focused revenue strategy
- Interest in financial services products and a desire to create strategic relationships that help our customers succeed
- Excitement to work in a high-growth environment and to help build processes and tools as needed
What the job involves
- Our Sales team at Plaid combines deep product and industry knowledge and is focused on bringing Plaid to an ever-broadening set of businesses
- Our thesis is that every company in financial services can benefit from better financial technology and that many industries that don't currently consider themselves to be fintech actually are
- In this role, you'll be the individual helping us achieve this vision. Your focus will be on generating new enterprise deals and building strong, long-lasting relationships with large companies in the Western US. You'll be tasked with identifying and closing major deals across the healthcare vertical
- Build executive relationships and identify business value and impact of Plaid across your territory of accounts
- Focus on a named account book of business with very high revenue potential per account, and a curated territory size
- Go deep and wide in prospect accounts to build support for adopting Plaid
- Deeply understand Plaid’s business value and technology advantage
- Win as a team — in partnership with outbound sales development rep, account manager, technical account manager, implementation manager, product organization, and other members of your account pod
Our take
Plaid builds infrastructure that allows a consumer to interact with their bank account on the web through a number of third-party applications, like Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase, Acorns and LendingClub.
Plaid has integrated with 12,000 financial institutions in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. About a quarter of people living in North America with bank accounts have linked with Plaid through at least one of the hundreds of apps that leverage Plaid’s application program interfaces (APIs). The platform allows companies to create financial services applications without having to hire their own team of engineers to build out a tool that connects apps to its users’ bank accounts.
This is very valuable in a world where there are increasing number of fintechs, so the demand for Plaid's services are only going to grow. Despite its strong position, it has not been immune to the difficult global economic situtation and was forced to restructure at the end of 2022, laying off some of its workforce. However it is still experiencing growth and is well-positioned to weather the current economic uncertainty.
