Design Lead

Senior Account Executive, Sales & BD (New York, US)

Our mission is to build the alpha intelligence layer for global public markets. We equip portfolio managers, analysts, and sales teams at the world’s leading hedge funds, asset managers, and investment banks with AI-native deep research, meeting intelligence, and structured / alternative data analytics that compress days of institutional workflow into minutes. We are not incrementally improving how finance runs. We are rebuilding the substrate underneath it.

Why a vertical AI layer for institutional finance matters. Every serious investor asked us the same question during our Series A: what stops a horizontal model provider from doing what Linq Alpha does? The answer is where finance actually lives. Real investment workflows sit inside proprietary data, regulated environments, and years of institutional context that no general model has access to.

We build the vertical layer that turns raw capability into decision-grade output the buy-side actually trusts. Today we deliver as SaaS. Next is API and MCP-based agent delivery. Ultimately we deliver as VPC and on-prem inside the largest Wall Street institutions. That progression is the moat, and it is not something a horizontal model provider can lift and shift.

This is a defining moment to join. We just closed a $22M Series A, co-led by AVP (formerly AXA Venture Partners) and GFT Ventures with our existing lead Atinum Investment following on, joined by a global syndicate that includes Z Venture Capital and SBI Investment in Japan, Betatron in Hong Kong and Singapore, SV Investment, East Ventures, NuVentures, and leading Korean institutions across Samsung Securities, Mirae Asset, Shinhan, NH, and Hana.

Almost every investor is already deeply engaged with us. This round is not just capital, it is a distribution engine. We have 70+ paying institutional clients, 90%+ retention, and a plan to grow 10x every 12 months across six connected offices:
New York, Boston, Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, and London.

The bar inside the team is high. We take talent density seriously, and we take our users even more seriously. Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We take ownership of complex problems and stay relentlessly focused on our users. If you thrive in a fast-moving environment, demand excellence in yourself and the people around you, and want to help set the standard for AI-native infrastructure in institutional finance, this is where you should be.

We are looking for an exceptional, relationship-driven sales professional to own Linq Alpha’s North America book of business. This is a role for a builder who converts the world’s most sophisticated buy-side clients into long-term partners. You will work directly with the founding team to build the US territory from the ground up, and shape how Linq Alpha shows up inside the largest Wall Street institutions.
