[Hiring] Principal, FSI @Nimble Gravity

Role Description

Are you a leader who knows how to win business by partnering with Microsoft, Databricks, and Anthropic across the financial services ecosystem? Are you a builder who gets energy from opening doors at banks, insurers, and capital markets firms and turning relationships into closed deals? Are you fluent in how generative AI, agentic platforms, and modern data lakes are reshaping FSI? If so, we want to hear from you.

The Principal, FSI is responsible for driving net-new growth across our entire financial services book: banking, insurance, and capital markets, by deepening our co-sell motion with the Microsoft FSI organization, scaling our Databricks partnership, and building Anthropic-led AI engagements. This is the most strategic seat in our most important vertical. The right candidate has sold consulting and professional services into FSI, knows where AI delivers measurable ROI in regulated environments, and has the discipline to run a partner-driven pipeline at scale.

• Working understanding of FSI business models: underwriting, claims, distribution, policy admin, lending, deposits, payments, trading, research, portfolio operations, and the regulatory environment that shapes them.
• Demonstrated success selling side-by-side with Microsoft account teams.
• Experience co-selling Azure, Fabric, or Databricks into FSI clients strongly preferred.
• Experience with Databricks and/or Anthropic partner ecosystems is a strong differentiator.
• Working knowledge of the enterprise data and AI landscape with an operator's bias.
• Proven track record of full-stack net-new customer acquisition.
• Experience defining best-in-class sales support processes.
• Strong program and project management skills.
• Experience navigating and leading others in an entrepreneurial environment.
