About the role

  • Account Executive driving adoption of Yapily's Open Banking platform across major financial institutions. Engaging with C-level executives and leading sales cycles in financial technology.

Responsibilities

  • Open Banking Strategy & Sales: Own and execute the full sales cycle for large deals, focusing on strategic adoption of our Open Banking APIs (e.g., payments initiation, account aggregation) with Tier-1 banks and major enterprise clients.
  • Regulatory & Technical Consultation: Act as a subject matter expert on the Open Banking ecosystem (e.g., PSD2, FDX, CDR) and the technical integration process, consulting with client teams (Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Legal) to demonstrate the strategic and compliant value of our solutions.
  • Executive & C-Level Engagement: Build and maintain deep, long-term relationships with C-level executives (e.g., CIOs, CDOs, Heads of Payments/Open Banking) to align our infrastructure solutions with their core business transformation and innovation objectives.
  • Business Case Development: Create compelling, data-driven business cases that clearly articulate the ROI of using our platform versus a build-it-yourself approach, specifically addressing financial metrics like fraud reduction, payment conversion, and cost savings.
