Sr. Account Executive (SaaS Sales)

About the role

About Us Gridline is here to redefine how private markets operate, making them faster, smarter, and more accessible. We are setting a new standard by building the Turnkey Alternatives Management Platform (TAMP) to help wealth managers run private market programs at scale. As a ledger-native system of record, Gridline provides a single source of truth that tracks the entire investment lifecycle down to the transaction layer, enabling RIAs, family offices, and private banks to manage their private markets business in one place. Our team brings deep experience across both enterprise technology and alternative investments to build the infrastructure layer the industry has always lacked. Backed by an $18.5M Series A led by FINTOP, we are creating the systems and structuring the data required to define the next generation of private market investing. Are you up to the challenge? The Opportunity We are seeking a Sr. Account Executive to own and scale revenue growth within the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) channel.

Expand Accounts: Drive multi-product adoption across the Gridline platform to maximize customer lifetime value and territory revenue. Operationalize Growth: Maintain rigorous CRM discipline and partner closely with Marketing and Product teams to refine messaging and support demand generation. Represent the Brand: Act as a face of Gridline at industry events and client meetings, simplifying complex fintech concepts into clear value propositions for RIAs and their clients. You have... Experience: At least 5 years of complex enterprise sales experience (ideally selling a fintech and/or wealthtech SaaS product to RIAs, family offices etc.). Ability to Travel: Ability to travel 15 - 20% within your assigned territory for client meetings and industry conferences. Education: Ideally a bachelor's or equivalent in a related field (finance, economics etc.).
