Strategic Account Executive - Financial Services

About this role

As a Strategic Account Executive for Financial Services, you will own a focused book of named financial services accounts — including banks, asset managers, exchanges, insurance carriers, and fintech platforms. You will be responsible for the full sales cycle: from identifying new use cases and building executive relationships to negotiating and closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who thrives in a technical sales environment and wants to be a foundational part of building ClickHouse’s strategic sales motion in one of the most demanding verticals in the world.

What You’ll Do

• Own a named account list of strategic financial services organizations and develop deep, multi-threaded relationships across technical, business, and executive stakeholders

• Drive net new ARR and expansion revenue through a consultative, value-based sales approach

• Lead complex enterprise sales cycles, including procurement, legal, security review, and multi-product negotiations

• Partner closely with Solutions Architects to ensure technical alignment and long-term customer success

• Understand and articulate ClickHouse’s technical differentiation — including performance benchmarks, architecture, and deployment models — at a level of depth that earns credibility with data engineers, architects, and CTOs

• Develop and execute strategic account plans, identifying expansion opportunities and mapping the political landscape within each account

• Represent the voice of the customer internally, shaping product roadmap priorities and go-to-market strategy for the financial services vertical

• Travel to customer sites, conferences, and team offsites as needed (approximately 25–40%)
