Sales Manager, Fintech

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam. Plaid’s Fintech Sales team is responsible for our relationships with some of the most important and fastest-growing companies in financial services. Many of these companies have long-standing relationships with Plaid, and this team’s mandate is to deepen those partnerships — expanding product adoption, enabling customer growth, and ensuring Plaid remains the infrastructure provider of choice as these customers scale. You will lead an established, high-performing team of Named Account Executives who manage Plaid’s largest fintech accounts. This is not a greenfield build — it’s a team with real momentum, strong customer relationships, and meaningful revenue. The opportunity is to raise the bar further: strengthen Plaid’s market-leading position in fintech by driving deeper product adoption across existing accounts, winning strategic new logos, and developing the AEs on your team into consistently elite performers. The primary motion is expansion. The majority of your AEs’ accounts already use Plaid — the job is to grow those relationships through new products, new use cases, and new business units, while also adding competitive new logos to the book. You’ll be in deals with your team as a coach and escalation point, helping AEs navigate multi-stakeholder cycles from technical champion to economic buyer, without taking ownership away from them. Responsibilities • Manage a team of 6–8 Named Account Executives focused on Plaid’s largest fintech accounts, driving growth through expansion of existing relationships and competitive new logo acquisition. • Coach AEs to identify and drive expansion opportunities proactively — new products, new use cases, new business units — rather than waiting for inbound signals. • Build and refine the account strategy for Plaid’s top fintech customers alongside your AEs, including executive value messaging, pitch positioning, and coordinated go-to-market efforts with Marketing. • Grow existing accounts by driving multi-product adoption and deepening executive-level relationships. • Attain consumption-based revenue targets through a disciplined, data-driven pipeline operating rhythm.
