As a fintech company with a vast addressable market, we empower our employees to be thought leaders as they navigate various customer problems – whether those are internal or external – and be challenged to develop solutions that create positive impact for our business. RapidRatings is actively looking for a proven Senior Account Executive (AE) to join our exceptional Sales team and expand our GTM presence in North America.

The mission of the Senior Account Executive is to help create enterprise value for each customer through the deployment of our predictive analytics and financial risk reporting systems. This role has 3 core areas of responsibility:

• Closing qualified opportunities with high rates of conversion to achieve quarterly and annual quota targets;
• Progressing pipeline to align business cases with buying cycles with the sales EQ necessary to both rigorously qualify and disqualify opportunities; and
• Consistently building new pipeline to replace those won or lost.

Sucess in these three areas requires a proactive and entrepreneurial mindset to engage with potential customers across all channels. It also relies heavily on keen discovery skills to identify leads with potential business problems that we can solve, as well as effective communication to align multiple stakeholders with a problem that can be solved through RapidRatings’ capabilities and value-drive sales process.
A successful Senior Account Executive at RapidRatings never stops selling; top reps consistently sell through the first deal to help ensure value delivery after getting the first contract in the door, and drives towards significant Enterprise Growth after adoption is complete. While this is just one dimension of the overall role for a Senior Account Executive, it is an important element that requires experience in project management and cross-functional leadership to drive growth.
The ideal candidate draws from experience in the Supply Chain, Third Party Risk, Credit Risk or Risk Management fields. These industries are experiencing dynamic change as the risk management disciplines grow and companies face economic, operational, regulatory, and capital challenges. Challenges of this kind bring opportunities, and RapidRatings is critical in guiding the world’s leading corporations and financial institutions towards proactively managing these risks, all while creating resilience and business opportunities in the process.
All Account Executives are expected to apply a consultative approach to navigate the sales process and help potential customers with identifying the business gaps in the current state of their risk management programs, which can later be solved with RapidRatings’ solution. Sales cycles, depending on the deal, can move as quickly as 30-90 days for wins focused on mid-market accounts or “land and expand” strategies, whereas larger enterprise deals will often take 6-9 months to align with timelines of procurement budget/buying cycles.
