But first, our values
Kindness - Kindness doesn’t just equal niceness. We listen to understand. We embrace, and encourage healthy debate and diverse perspectives. We approach conflict openly, honestly, and respectfully.
Brilliance - Humility is the skill we’re most proud of and possessing a growth mindset is always top of mind. We take ownership in everything we touch; regularly using our unique superpowers to reach a common goal as a team. We succeed and fail as one.
Grit - When challenges arise, we stay laser focused on achieving our mission and finding a way forward, even when it’s hard. We are nimble and maintain a sense of urgency, swiftly adapting to change and overcoming obstacles.
The opportunity
Altruist is seeking a Senior Sales Executive for our Enterprise team to own and navigate qualified opportunities from discovery through successful onboarding. This role requires a seller who can deeply understand prospect priorities, articulate our platform's value, and build compelling business cases that drive action through a kind, confident, and consultative approach. You will lead the account strategy, identify the real champions and skeptics, and align internal teams to move complex deals forward with credibility and a sense of urgency. In this capacity, you will own high-level deal strategy, account plans, executive relationships, negotiation, and the process discipline necessary to repeatedly close Enterprise accounts.
Your impact
- Own a portfolio of large, complex enterprise opportunities and lead them from discovery through onboarding.
- Act as the leader for your deals, coordinating closely with Business Development, Solutions Engineering, Relationship Management, Product, Operations, Trading, Marketing, and Support.
- Build and maintain detailed account plans, deal notes, internal next steps, and external action plans that keep complex opportunities organized and moving.
- Lead multi-threaded deal strategy across executive, operational, and advisor stakeholders, identifying who is truly driving the deal, who still needs to buy in, and where hidden resistance may exist.
- Run thoughtful business-case and solution-alignment conversations that connect Altruist’s platform, pricing, service model, and roadmap to the prospect’s real operating and growth priorities.
- Maintain calm, credible communication with prospects when there are product gaps, commercial complexities, or implementation questions, while pulling in internal partners to define pragmatic paths forward.
- Partner with internal teams on commercial structuring, pricing discussions, and proposal development for strategic firms where standard motions are not sufficient.
- Help improve the Enterprise operating system by regularly iterating on playbooks, sales process, account-plan quality, and deal communication across the organization.
- Maintain strong Salesforce hygiene, stage management, and deal inspection rigor so the team can forecast accurately and improve stage velocity, close rate, and opportunity quality over time.
- Travel as needed for onsite visits, executive meetings, strategic presentations, and critical late-stage deal moments.
What you bring
- 10+ years of enterprise sales, strategic account management, or complex client-facing experience in wealth management, fintech, custody, or adjacent financial services.
- Strong grasp of the RIA ecosystem, including advisor business models, custody dynamics, operational workflows, and the realities of selling into large, multi-stakeholder firms.
- Proven ability to move complex opportunities through solution alignment, business case, onsite diligence, and commit stages toward a signed proposal.
- Excellent judgment in stakeholder mapping. You know how to identify champions, surface skeptics, assess political reality inside a prospect, and avoid false-positive deal momentum.
- Strong commercial instincts and comfort with pricing, packaging, and proposal nuance, especially when enterprise firms need tailored economics or phased solutions.
- High emotional intelligence and strong executive presence. You can push a deal forward without becoming pushy, and you know how to balance confidence with honesty when the answer is not yet fully defined.
- Strong cross-functional leadership without relying on formal authority. You can keep internal partners aligned, informed, and focused on what matters most to win the deal the right way.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with disciplined follow-through on notes, next steps, and internal/external expectations.
- Comfort working inside a collaborative structure where success depends on communication, role clarity, and shared ownership rather than isolated heroics.
- SIE, Series 7, and Series 63 licenses, or the ability to obtain them within 90 days of employment.
