Head of Sales

Location: New York

Hybrid | Full-time

Compensation: $150K - $200K

A leading financial technology firm is seeking a strategic and high-impact Head of Sales to spearhead the go-to-market strategy and scale the adoption of next-generation stablecoin infrastructure. This is a "player-coach" role designed for a leader who excels at driving complex enterprise deals while simultaneously mentoring and managing a high-performing sales and partnerships team.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Head of Sales will define and execute a comprehensive strategy to expand the organization’s presence across the fintech, banking, corporate, payments, and crypto ecosystems. The successful candidate will be responsible for cultivating senior-level relationships with decision-makers at financial institutions, exchanges, and infrastructure platforms to drive the integration of digital dollar solutions.

The employer is a mission-driven organization backed by world-class investors, including Paradigm and Dragonfly. The firm is dedicated to transforming the movement of money by building a seamless platform for issuing, managing, and integrating programmable stablecoins. By treating digital dollars as a public good—trusted, accessible, and built for real-world utility—the company aims to create a new financial fabric that is faster and more efficient than traditional siloed systems. The team combines the discipline of high-performance finance with the creativity of a fast-moving, crypto-native startup. Joining this group means entering a high-velocity environment that values clear thinking, extreme ownership, and technical excellence.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product, marketing, and customer success teams to align messaging, pricing, and product-market fit based on market feedback.
• Market Representation: Represent the organization at industry conferences and client engagements to enhance brand presence and drive adoption of the core product stack.

Requirements

• Experience: At least 5 years of experience leading or executing sales and partnership strategies within fintech, banking, or payments sectors.

• Competitive compensation ($150K - $200K) and equity packages.
