Sales Lead, Sales, B2B Sales

About The Role

We are seeking an aggressive, strategic, and highly sophisticated Sales Lead to drive revenue and scale Aden’s B2B enterprise customer base. Selling foundational financial infrastructure for AI is a complex, high-stakes endeavor. You will be engaging in deeply consultative, six-figure-plus ACV (Annual Contract Value) enterprise sales cycles, negotiating with C-level executives (CEOs, CFOs, CTOs) at some of the most innovative technology companies in the world.

As the founding member of our go-to-market organization, you will not only be responsible for closing deals and hitting revenue targets, but also for building the scalable sales processes, defining the ideal customer profile (ICP), and iterating on our pricing strategy. You must be equally comfortable navigating rigid corporate procurement processes and discussing the strategic implications of AI and financial APIs.
