Lead, Coach, and Accelerate Finance Upsell Growth
We are looking for a Hands-on Team Lead to guide, coach, and grow a team of Sales Account Executives focused on driving expansion and upsell of our Finance Product across existing customer accounts.
This is a player-coach position: you won't just manage from the sidelines. You will actively jump on executive calls, guide high-stakes negotiations with CFOs and senior finance executives, and lead by example while building a high-performing team culture.

• Lead by example: Demonstrate consultative selling techniques when pitching directly to executive financial personas (CFOs, Finance Directors, Controllers).
• Build a high-trust culture: Foster team alignment, continuous feedback, resilience, and accountability.
2. Strategy & Team Performance
• Own team-level targets: Be accountable for team-wide revenue targets, pipeline velocity, deal size, and expansion metrics.
• Optimize deal cycles: Work with AEs to shorten sales cycles, navigate multi-stakeholder deals, and increase win rates.
• Collaborate on Go-To-Market strategy: Partner with Sales Leadership, Product, and Marketing teams to continuously refine our Finance positioning and playbook across international markets.
3. High-Value Closing & Cross-Functional Alignment
• Executive engagement: Step into complex negotiations and executive pitches to help close key opportunities.
• Partner with Account Management: Align with Account Managers and Customer Success teams to unlock hidden expansion opportunities within existing client portfolios.
• Act as a Finance Domain Reference Point: Bridge product capabilities with customer financial pain points, ensuring our solution communicates strong ROI.
What We Are Looking For
• Sales Experience: 3-5+ years of B2B SaaS closing experience with a consistent track record of hitting/exceeding quotas.
• Domain Expertise: Solid knowledge of Finance software, SaaS fintech, expense management, treasury, or ERP/accounting workflows.
• Executive Pitching: Proven experience negotiating directly with CFOs, Controllers, and Senior Finance Executives.
• Leadership Drive: Previous experience as a Team Lead, Senior AE, or informal mentor with a passion for coaching and developing talent.
• Hands-on Mindset: Willingness to jump into calls, co-pitch, assist in objection handling, and lead from the front.
• Languages: Business-level fluency in English plus native/fluent skills in Spanish
Bonus Points ️
• Experience building or scaling a specialized Business Unit / Sales Pod from scratch.
• Deep knowledge of sales tech stacks and CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, etc.).
• Prior experience handling full-cycle B2B expansion or upsell sales models.
Key Competencies & Characteristics
• Financial Acumen: Able to speak the language of finance leaders (ROI, efficiency, compliance, cash flow, integration).
• Consultative & Hunter Mindset: Persistent, value-driven, and proactive in surfacing expansion deals.
• Empathy & Coaching: Natural communicator who can give constructive feedback and motivate team members.
• Radical Ownership: Takes complete responsibility for team execution and growth.
