About this role

About Us

OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team brings experience at companies such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, PayPal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX, and other top-tier investors.

Role Overview

We are seeking an Account Executive, North America to join our dynamic go-to-market team.

New Business Development

• Build and manage a pipeline of institutional prospects across North America, from initial outreach through qualification

• Consistently meet or exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets

• Maintain accurate pipeline and forecast data in the CRM

Client & Stakeholder Relationship Management

• Develop trusted relationships with senior stakeholders (Treasury, Finance, Payments, and Operations leaders) at prospective and existing clients

• Serve as a strategic advisor, understanding each client's cross-border payment needs and tailoring OpenFX's value proposition accordingly

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Legal & Compliance, and Marketing to navigate technical integrations and structure deals

• Work with leadership to refine sales strategy, messaging, and positioning as the go-to-market motion matures

Market Strategy & Intelligence

• Stay close to trends in cross-border payments and institutional finance to inform territory and account strategy

• Share client feedback with Product to help shape the roadmap

What we are looking for

Must-haves:

• 5+ years of full-cycle, quota-carrying sales experience in fintech or payments

• A proven track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets

• Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from prospecting to close

• Strong communication, negotiation, and executive presence

• Comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving, early-stage environment

• Proficiency with CRM tools (e.g., Hubspot) for pipeline and forecast management

What helps you stand out

• Experience selling into banks, fintechs, or other financial institutions

• Background in cross-border payments, FX, treasury, or related infrastructure

• Experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup, helping build sales process and playbooks from the ground up

• An existing network of relevant buyer personas within target institutions

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.

• Equity in a rapidly growing company.

• Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation.

• Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure
