Are you comfortable in a world where criminal gangs are well funded, life savings of innocent people are destroyed and vulnerable people are trafficked? Do you think financial crime pays? Ever think that selling a SaaS solution could help you combat this and be part of the solution?

Strise is a technology company, that helps top-tier banks, fintechs, and other financial institutions fight financial crime through our AI-powered AML automation solutions.

We make an impact by making it easier and faster for banks to fulfil their mission of uncovering financial violations, like money laundering. As a Series A stage company, with investors like Atomico, we're on an extremely ambitious growth trajectory.

After successfully becoming trusted by over 70% of the biggest financial institutions in Scandinavia, we are now expanding into the UK, followed by the rest of Europe.

About the role:

We are on the lookout for a driven Account Executive, who will play a key role in achieving revenue growth across a number of markets. Your focus will be to engage potential clients, build a robust pipeline, and guide prospects through the sales process. Your influence will be critical for Strise to stay ahead with innovative, user-centric products in the global arena of financial crime prevention.

We are open to applications from those based in Oslo.

Apply if?

• You are ready to sell into a tough industry like finance
• You genuinely (and not just say you do) love working in an early stage company where you need to build sales stories and processes, sometimes from 0-1
• You are great not just at selling, but auditing the customer's current process to actually give relevant advice, not just sales fluff

Don’t apply if:

• You need everything to be easy and to come inbound to you to be able to sell
• You aren’t interested in learning the industry we work in
• You think MEDDIC is a new health tech startup

Expectations?

• Above all else you are ready for a challenge. You are expected to run your sales remit like an owner, make decisions, lead with ideas. You are not just slotting into a team; you need to create a new standard in an early-stage technology company where not everything is perfect and has a process. The excuse department is closed.
• Prospecting and Pipeline Development. Leverage multiple channels and your creativity to target clients within our Ideal Customer Profile. You’ll have access to top-tier tools, ongoing training, and an exceptional demand generation engine to support your efforts.
• Drive the Sales Process to Close. Lead prospects through the sales cycle, from initial contact to closing. Ensuring smooth transitions through each stage while maintaining pipeline momentum.
• Deal Orchestration. Assess strengths, recognise areas for collaboration, and effectively utilise internal resources to close deals.

We absolutely need:

• A strong background as an Account Executive within B2B sales, SaaS, or finance with a track record of high-velocity, pipeline building.
• Proactive and curious mindset, who thrives on finding and closing new business.
• The ability to think outside the box to identify and engage potential clients and generate new opportunities.
• Confident, clear, and concise communication skills, that can spark interest and create engagement.
• Comfortable in fast-paced environments, with a willingness to adapt and learn, take responsibility, and drive new experiments.

Fantastic to have:

• Experience using the MEDDPICC framework.
• Experience selling AML / KYC / Compliance products.
• Experience from working with AML and KYC in industry.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary, pension, and bragging rights.
• A chance to be part of a global FinTech and a Scale-up that actually has taste.
• A rare chance to make a dent in one of the most stagnant yet important industries out there.
• Hybrid working set-up (minimum 3 days in-office) with subsidised lunch every day.
• Central, brand new office located in the middle of Oslo.
• We have the best social committee arranging monthly after-work events, an annual offsite, and more. 
• We’re focused on making Strise a great place to be and to keep hiring great people to work with.
