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, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam.
The Product Sales team at Plaid is a group of deep product and market specialists who lead and advise on opportunities for Plaid’s most strategically important solutions. We partner closely with Account Executives, Account Managers, Product, and GTM leadership to develop and close deals across new and existing customers. The Payments team focuses on bank payments, ACH risk, and money movement. These products are central to Plaid’s growth, and we are building a dedicated team to bring our newest payment solutions to market.
As an Account Executive, Product Sales - Payments, you will be one of the founding sellers for Plaid’s newest payment solutions, including Guaranteed ACH, alongside our broader Payments suite: Account Verification, ACH Risk Optimization, and Money Movement. This is a high-visibility role tied to one of Plaid’s top company priorities. You will own turning pipeline into closed ACV for these products and help identify additional pockets of opportunity where Plaid can grow.
You are a consultative seller who can lead both business and technical conversations, from day-to-day operators up to the executive team. You enjoy selling products that require deep product understanding and technical curiosity: how to increase bank linking conversion, where new bank rails for pay-ins and payouts fit in a customer’s payments toolkit, and how to build risk guarantee programs that create value for both the customer and Plaid. You are an organized, entrepreneurial self-starter who is comfortable building where the path is not fully mapped yet.
