[Hiring] Senior Sales Executive @South Geeks

Role Description

We are looking for our first Senior Sales Executive: a hands-on, individual-contributor closer who will own client acquisition and growth at South Geeks.

This is not a transactional sales position. It is not a management role either. You will be the first business developer outside of the CEO. You will own how the commercial function is built from the ground up, personally, as an individual contributor with no team beneath you.

Reports to: CEO & Founder

Location: United States

Start: As soon as possible

Key Responsibilities

• Pipeline creation and revenue conversion
• Leverage your existing network of decision-makers at regulated financial services or life sciences organizations to open doors and generate warm conversations
• Sell outcomes, not headcount: lead every conversation with the problem we solve, which is compute at scale, secure data integration and AI governance under 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, SEC and FINRA frameworks
• Design and execute a signal-based outreach strategy targeting organizations facing AI adoption pressure with compliance constraints they cannot clear internally
• Represent South Geeks at vertical-specific events, peer networks and conferences relevant to wealth management, financial services operations, clinical research and life sciences
• Collaborate with the CEO on her bi-monthly US trips to maximize in-person relationship value
• Track and maintain a structured pipeline in HubSpot with disciplined reporting and forecasting
• Contribute to thought leadership around AI governance, secure data and compliance-safe AI adoption in regulated industries
• Be a brand ambassador consistent with our positioning: outcome-based AI for regulated operators in the Americas, by engineers who speak compliance
• Participate in communities where our target buyers are active, including wealth management peer groups, RIA networks, life sciences and pharma leadership forums
• Gather market intelligence and share insights that inform commercial strategy and positioning
• Own client relationships beyond the close. Our Engagement Manager handles day-to-day delivery. You remain the point of contact for every client you bring in: the escalation point when problems arise, the person who turns a signed agreement into a long-term partnership

Qualifications

• Based in the United States, ideally in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, or Texas
• 6-10 years of experience in or directly adjacent to financial services or life sciences, as an operator, service provider, or senior commercial partner
• An active, trusted network of technology and innovation decision-makers at regulated financial services or life sciences firms
• Deep familiarity with financial services and/or life sciences, including understanding the regulatory context
• Ability to speak credibly about AI governance, data security and compliance-safe implementation
• A proven track record of opening and closing complex, trust-based B2B deals in professional services or adjacent fields
• Comfort operating as a lean individual contributor who builds rather than delegates

Requirements

• An academic or professional background that opens doors in the US market
• Prior experience in professional services, consulting, or talent solutions for regulated industries
• Existing involvement in senior wealth management or life sciences communities
• Experience building a commercial function from an early stage, as an individual contributor
• Familiarity with Latin American engineering talent or distributed team models

Benefits

• Genuine ownership of client acquisition and growth in two high-value verticals, as an individual contributor
• Competitive base compensation plus a performance structure tied directly to revenue you generate
• Full support from the CEO and COO, including warm introductions to an established client network
• A lean, high-quality team with strong operational infrastructure already in place
• AI-enabled operations, including pre-sales enhancements
• The opportunity to shape the growth strategy of a company at an inflection point
• Dedicated budget for event attendance, community memberships and business travel
• 100% remote work
